Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead

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.

Well they did the teenage/young adults, they did a reality spin, now Wrong Turn takes on some prisoners. This is good, as we have no reason to give a damn about those up for the killing. It removes any need for character development, not usually a plus but we all know why we came to this film. It's a shame they've reduced the mutated hillbilly family to pretty much just one guy. There's needless gore, repetitive chase sequences and a bizarre car scene which is a mix of very bad greenscreen and location work. It was confusing. The ending really ticked me off though, the ultimate in tacked on, thoughtless, middle finger up to the audience endings. Even for something this cheap and quick, they could have at least respected the characters a tiny bit.

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.

I am a big fan of the wrong turn series, especially the first one, i have only seen the second one once. But this film, oh what a shame, it does let the series down. The main problem with it is the acting and the dialogue. The story itself or the idea for the story isn't bad at all, but why choose such cheesy actors delivering such cheesy lines. The main lead copper isn't too bad, the female lead is okay, but the rest of them, oh where to start. There isn't enough hillbillies in it either, 2 or 3 of them at a count when there is meant to be a family of them according to the original wrong turn series. They seem to try and take this story back to the original woods too but somehow it just doesn't work, it doesn't have the same feel, maybe because this was set a night and the original was in the day. The special effects, gore and CGI leaves much to be desired too, its so cheesy its not stomach churning, more comical. But its not the worse I have seen/watched this year and I kind of did like the ending too. The worse of the year for me still goes to Cabin Fever 2.

After the first two movies which were 5 or 6/10 this one was a real let down. The acting is poor and the story is poor. It would have helped to have more deformed bad guys rather than just one throughout the whole film. As there are families of baddies in the woods I though the film would have progressed from the second film and developed more of a story into the third film but this doesn't happen. The gore is what you expect with a couple of tasty deaths but the acting really is bad and let's the film down badly.You can see why this was a straight to DVD movie..hopefully they don't try and make a 4th one unless a good budget is used. You can see when the actors are in the bus that the road ahead is cheaply added into the film to save money...Don't bother with this film 3/10.
