Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort

Wrong Turn 6 (2014)

* (out of 4)

The latest and so far worst in the series has Danny (Anthony Ilott) and six of his friends driving down south so that he can try and figure out about his past. Danny, an orphan, knows very little about his past but he receives word that he has "family" but they turn out to be the mutants from the five previous films.

WRONG TURN 6 is a really bad movie on so many levels that it's almost hard to believe that it could be worse than the third film. There are so many awful and annoying things about this movie it's a wonder that this here simply doesn't end the series. But, then again, when did quality ever determine how many sequels a series gets?

It's clear that the filmmakers wanted to take the series into a new direction but the "idea" behind this film is just as awful as the ideas behind the sixth film in the HALLOWEEN franchise. Lets see....where do we start? We can start with the screenplay, which is just one bad cliché after another as we get a boring plot dealing with the man being pulled into his "family" in hopes that they can continue in the future, which really makes no sense when you see that there are plenty of males and females already in the family so breeding isn't really an issue. The characters in the film are all incredibly boring and there's not a single one of them that is interesting. The performances aren't too bad but even the likes of Brando, Newman and Foster wouldn't have been able to do anything with this story.

The CGI gore effects are pretty bad and the kills aren't at all creative with most of them just alternate versions of stuff we have seen previously. The film does goes into overdrive when it comes to nudity with four different actresses taking off their clothes and there's some pretty weird and kinky sexual stuff going on. As for our three main killers, they're pretty much wasted here and without a doubt this is the most boring use of them in the series. Their make-up is also extremely bad. WRONG TURN 6 is without question the worst in the series and lets hope if they decide to continue they get back on track.

A lot of sex and some gore doesn't make this a good movie. You can see clearly that the budget of this one was pretty much the same as part 3, 4 and 5. A lot of unknown and not really great English actors and actress.

I think the story was too much over the top, Declan, the director of the previous three parts, just let the story simple (how the original also was). I love boobs, of course, but the nudity in this one is just too much and adds nothing to the story.

Some special effects are nice, but really nothing more than that. If you like part 3, 4 and 5 you probably like this one too. But not really something for me.

This is the worst part of all the wrong turn parts . This part is all about porn porn porn . I think that the wrong turn series should be put to an end here as it is getting pathetic after each series .

The characters / actors in the movie are completely rubbish , none of them know how to act ... the plot itself is tedious and there is no interest in any scene . I was a huge fan of Wrong urn series but now i will stop watching this crap .... Even the direction of this film is not good ..... There is 1 idiot in the movie who always has a camera with him and by the end of the movie we understand that the guy was as useless as his camera and there is no connection of it in the movie ...

GOOD BYEEE WONGR TURN Series .. You lost a Fan . Ratings = 0/10

In the realm of sequels or films in a franchise this does not do the series any justcice. I for one though that Wrong Turn, 2,3,4,5 were actually much better than this plot and acting sequence. Granted we take a film for what it means to us viewers and the Wrong Turn series in general has just become iconic in how bad they really are. Next to the original there really is no comparison except shoddy plots, terrible acting, editing is sub par and it just is a fill in film. Im sure as those who collect films such as myself we will endure. The film is shot on a low budget and was filmed in Bulgaria. If you have nothing better to do than waste your time with the 6th installment.

The fact that Wrong Turn became a franchise in the first place is baffling, not that I'm complaining. The original was essentially The Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets The Hills Have Eyes, and it was great for what it was, but hardly original enough to warrant the franchise treatment. Then it got an action-packed, direct-to-video sequel featuring Henry Rollins kicking all sorts of inbred cannibal ass, and it was awesome. Then the sequels kept coming and coming; Wrong Turn 4 has some merit in its own trashy sort of way, but 3 and 5 are among the worst "films" ever made. So going into Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort, you know not to expect top shelf cinema. But at the very least, you hope for some camp value, gratuitous nudity, and brutal kills.

Wrong Turn 6 tries something unique to the franchise, though: a psychological angle. It's a story about a guy who inherits a large mansion from an unknown relative, and the mansion turns out to be the home and breeding grounds for the grotesque inbred cannibals we've come to know and love. The psychological aspect comes into play with the mansion's caretakers, distant relatives to the protagonist, and how they gradually lure him away from the reality that he once knew, represented by his oblivious group of friends, and eventually seduce him into their demented family culture. It's quite disturbing actually, and there are plenty of wince-inducing scenes here. The problem is the writing, directing, and acting - the bare necessities for a good film.

The dialogue is horrendous; sadly, not in a so-bad-it's-funny sort of way. Things aren't much better acting-wise. It's not like great actors could have done much with a script like this, but these people are so unconvincing in their performances that the dialogue-driven scenes become downright aggravating to sit through. The sole exception is Sadie Katz as the caretaker Sally, who gives an unsettlingly sensual conviction to her character. She's by far the most alluring part of the film and deserves props for adding some credibility to the otherwise irredeemably bland cast. In regards to the directing, it can feel like you're watching a soft-core porn in one scene and then a graphic, torture-porn ridden snuff film in another. This may be due to the writing, but there's not even an attempt at building suspense. It just transitions from scene to scene with no regard to consistency in tone, pacing, or atmosphere; until finally, the movie ends.

Again, there are admittedly great ideas buried under the disastrous execution. The plot is a nice change of pace for the series, the deaths are gruesome, and the ending is no doubt unnerving. Sadly, Wrong Turn 6 is bereft of production value, and the subject matter is too bleak to be enjoyed in a campy, fun way. It's a dreary exercise in gratuity; from the glorious nudity to the grisly gore, it's all shock and no awe. If you've seen the previous five installments, you might as well watch this one - it's a hell of a lot better than 5. But don't go in hoping for a return to the schlocky entertainment value of 2 or the genuine terror of the original because you sure as hell won't find either in Wrong Turn 6.
