I always had a peculiar fondness for the "Wrong Turn" franchise. It's certainly not the greatest horror series out there, but at least the installments all guarantee unpretentious and straightforward splatter-entertainment. After a new sequel every two year since 2007, the series seems to have halted since 2014, but I'll cheerfully keep watching more sequels when they come, even if they make another twenty-six of them! Part 6 makes one horrible mistake, however, namely that the new director Valeri Milev and writer Frank H. Woodward tried to tell an ambitious story with depth and character background. Bad idea; - the reasons why parts 2, 3 and 4 were so entertaining are that the plots are simple and the gore is utterly disgusting. Here, they come up with a far-fetched and completely implausible story about an introvert and half-depressed New Yorker inheriting a humongous hotel/spa resort in Hobb Springs, West-Virginia. Danny heads over there, together with a large group of his friends, and finds that the two caretakers are trying to show that he's part of a secluded (read: inbred) mountain family clan. Meanwhile, the trio of deranged mutant hillbillies from the previous films joyously slaughter Danny's friends and half of the nearby town. It's best not to contemplate too much about the "plot". Exactly how did a West-Virginian hillbilly-baby end up in New York? How can two incestuous freaks possibly run a giant hotel? Why isn't anybody investigating the dozens of missing person cases? Part 6 contains loads of gratuitous sex, usually immediately followed by revolting killings. The biker girl at the beginning is the prettiest actress of the bunch, especially naked, but she's only a random casualty whose face gets sawn in half with barbed wire. The special effects are okay, albeit often too extreme and sickening just for the sake of being sickening. I'm not complaining about that, though, since that is exactly why people like me are watching series like "Wrong Turn".
