Détour mortel 3

I am huge fan of Wrong turn series, wrong turn 1 and 2 were pure original gore until this crappy sequel showed

Wrong turn 3, I wasn't even aware of this film until preview teaser came out, and not for cinema, for DVD. I wondered why would such film go straight to DVD. So I watched this film, and it was the worst piece of crap I have ever seen. When I watched the preview I knew it was going to be bad anyway so I guess I was expecting it.

Actors, scenes, settings, effects were all so terribly made. I found no actors useful, maybe the girl and the police but they weren't so good either. And the prisoners, they made me laugh, especially the scene where the prisoner and the hillbilly fights, that scene frustrated me and I wanted to smash my TV go in to the movie and kill the hillbilly myself. What's up with the voice of that prisoner, I could barely understand him and he came to the point where I found really annoying.

The effects were so horrible that it was standard "home-made adobe effect". An amateur could make this effects using After effects. Such as when the guy gets slashed by the trap in the beginning scene, and he slices off, the effects were totally CGI. It's only real when they cut the camera shot and suddenly it's all real. The movie Cube had a better slicing scene in the intro and it is very old, well older than this

What I really want to point out is, do not buy this or rent this, it is waste of valuable money. I'd rather spend it on a charity. When you walk into the video store and see this movie on the shelf, say to yourself, "o look it's another crappy movie made by idiots". If you want to watch this, download it, like I did, it's only worth downloading.

Wrong Turn 3 (2009)

* (out of 4)

Downright horrid third entry in the series has a bus full of convicts and police taking a shortcut through the West Virginia mountains when they're ran off the road. The cons take control of the situation and they head off in the woods but it doesn't take long before a mutant redneck shows up to take them out.

WRONG TURN 3 is a direct-to-video release that is without question one of the worst horror films that you're going to see from this era and there's no doubt that it's a major step down from the previous two installments. If you ever want to show someone what a cheap, wannabe attempt to rip off fans is then this here would be the perfect example. Not only are we given an incredibly stupid plot full of annoying, worthless characters but we're also given some of the cheapest looking special effects that you'll ever see. Whereas the first WRONG TURN went for suspense and the second went for over-the-top gore, this one here is just an awful attempt at making money.

There are countless problems with this thing but we'll start with the CGI effects. To say they're awful would be putting it too kindly because these things are among the worst you're ever going to see. Yes, there's a lot of violence and gore here but none of it is effective because of how fake it looks. Just take a look at the scene where one man is split into three pieces. The CGI effect makes it look like jello has been sliced because when the man is sliced he just perfectly falls onto the ground in these pieces and not even the blood or guts inside of him come falling out. Even worse is a scene towards the start where someone takes an incredibly fake look arrow through the eye.

The characters are another major problem because you've really got no one to cheer for. The convicts are all people you hate and you want to see them finished off but before you get to that you've got to endure God-awful fighting and bickering. The good guys here are all rather boring, bland and you just don't care what happens to them. Even the mutant here is boring and whereas they're were brought to life in the first two, here they're just a cheap killing machine that adds nothing to the picture. Even the performances are pretty much forgettable as is everything else in this mess of a film.

Movie #2 in the series was superior. This? The mutant hillbilly's makeup might have been effective, only with the poor lighting and cinematography, one couldn't tell. There was a lack of practical FX, instead they went the CGI route which would've been effective if someone with any skill had handled it. Seriously, why does anyone watch this kinda stuff= clever, well done kills and maybe some action scenes that give some amount of terror or tension. For whatever reason this movie missed it's mark. But it was probably intended as a direct to video film and not worth putting any properly trained personnel onto the project. 3-fingers certainly kept coming, beyond all realism, and the actor was probably the best thing in this disaster. The knees-down appearance of another person at the end with a dripping propeller blade shaft makes it appear that there's an unseen mutant hillbilly ready for a forth film. Let's not encourage that.

As a fan of the first two 'Wrong Turn' films, I was expecting this to be a good but not great film with enough gore/horror/comedy to keep me entertained for 90 minutes. How wrong I was. The plot consists of this; four college kids are out rafting in the Bluefish River area, however their fun is abruptly ended when they are attacked by the mutant cannibal hillbilly Three Finger (Borislav Iliev). Only the teenager Alex (Janet Montgomery) succeeds in escaping running through the woods. Meanwhile, a group of dangerous criminals are transported from the West Virginia Grafton Penitentiary in a custody bus escorted by three security guards through the backwoods. Predictably the bus is attacked by Three Finger, causing the bus to crash in the woods and the struggle for power and survival begins.

Initially, I thought the plot was fairly well thought out and had the potential to work quite well. However, it doesn't work and these are the reasons why; the terrible casting, the laughable special effects and the dire script. I understand that this was a low budget horror movie but it could have been done so much better. The casting of British actors in American parts didn't help the film either with most of the casts accents slipping constantly, Tamer Hassan is particularly bad in his role and often reveals his strong London accent.

The special effects are beyond cheap and they look like something from the 70s or 80s. But undoubtedly the worst element of this movie is the script which could have been written by a couple of teenagers, the guards and cops have clichéd dialogue and the other actors have such a poor script to work with you almost begin to feel sorry for them.

Overall this movie is very poor and most importantly not scary in the slightest. In the end I found it a little insulting to the 'Wrong Turn' franchise.

I give it 2/10 and I think that may be slightly generous.

It is a peace of crap. The movie was made by amateurs and it's not even funny. Soundtrack: background sounds almost inexistent and the characters dialog is sounds like it was recorded in a hotel room Lighting: the characters are being hunted in a extremely bright forest in the middle of the night Actors: poor quality performance. The naked big boobed chick that gets shot in the beginning does not compensate for the other actors, lack of talent. Special effects:

my favorites scenes were the ones shot inside running vehicles. You can clearly see how they projected a recording in front of a car, kind of takes you back in time. The computer animation... it seemed like it was made after you-tube tutorials. There is not a single decent special effect. Overall, the movie is an insult, the director and the producers should be ashamed for creating such a crap.It stinks.
