Jeremy Sisto and Desmond Harrington were pretty likable and did a good job overall.
You could certainly do a lot worse.The only guy in the movie that annoyed me was thankfully knocked off first. In fact, if there were 3 girls to be stranded somewhere with, I would have no problem if it were these 3. I have always been a big fan of Eliza Dushku and the other two girls, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Lindy Booth, were no slouches themselves.
Some characteristics remind me of the main monster in Monster Man, though.I thought the cast for this movie was great. Much better than the Boogeyman from Boogeyman, anyways. I would probably run from these people if I was alone in the woods. They were creepy enough in the way they walked and grunted that they were not too much of a joke. They remind me of someone but I can not put my finger on it. It is also probably the most graphic and creepy part of the movie.The special effects on the mountain men were great. They obviously began well before the movie started but for these 6 people, this is where it starts. My advice is, if you're a horror fan, its well worth the watch! Several scenes prove to be quite graphic.In this respect, I would have to admit that Wrong Turn doesn't have the makings of changing the world of movies as we know it, but it does however, have the capacity to push you to the edge of your seat. Its atmosphere undeniably achieves this, however its not alone, it is true to say that this film is not for the squeamish. It is just a horror movie, with the distinct and generally successful aim of scaring and entertaining. I of course will refrain from elaborating on these details so as not to spoil the viewing for those who have yet to see it.What I really liked about this film was that it didn't try what so many other horror movies as of the last seven years or so haave tried- and that is to be ironic. Is safe to proclaim, as i'm sure have and will many others, that the atmosphere is one of well created nail biting tension, which lasts throughout the duration of the film.In fact, I found the atmosphere that the movie exuded to be so compelling that I failed to notice certain flaws that would normally aggravate me in a film. What a rush! 3.5 out of 5 So Says the Soothsayer. It is always in your face and it doesn't let go till the credits. But come on, this isn't exactly an intelligently written and detailed drama.I liked `Wrong Turn' purely because of its shock value and its no holds barred return to classic horror. I have always liked Lindy Booth but she has nothing to play with here and the same is goes for Jeremy Sisto. The rest of the cast play typical generic 20-somethings from the horror film franchises of old. I wasn't extremely familiar with Desmond Harrington before this film but he plays a good leading man. Dushku loves to play debutantes with edge and her character here has a lot of it. Dushku is strong and emulates some of her `Buffy the Vampire Slayer' character, Faith in her portrayal here. Schmidt could have easily dived down the gore shoot to hell but he made a wise choice that works in spades.It's the film's harrowing tension and atmospheric pursuit that overshadows the young stars that make up the cast. The parts we do see are horrific but the filmmaker relies heavily on the chase and shock than on the gore. I also liked how Schmidt barely shows the mountain men throughout the film. But if you love horror films then you probably have an ear to ear grin as well.I really liked some of the early editing of this film by director Rob Schmidt, who allows the scares and shocks to come with brilliant accuracy. You are exhausted and maybe even queasy when you come out of the theatre. You may come up with `Wrong Turn'.The tension in this film is harrowing and relentless as it bats you back and forth. The best way to describe the experience is that if you took 2001's `Joy Ride' and `Jeepers Creepers' added 1972's `Deliverance' then threw them all in a blender. Not since the 1970's `Texas Chainsaw Massacre' has a horror film such as this been made. There hasn't been a film this gory, grotesque and chilling in a very long time. Before the group knows it, they are in a fight for their very lives.`Wrong Turn' was in one word an utter shock to the system.
Family of cannibalistic mountain men who are overtly grotesque from generations of incest.
