Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead

While rafting in the Bluefish River area, four college kids 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. When they park in a rest stop in a police station, Sheriff Carver (Bill Moody) is informed about the missing teenagers. The bus driver heads to their destination with the guards and the prisoners but a tow truck driven by Three Finger hits the bus that falls off the road. They are attacked by Three Finger and the perilous Carlo Chavez (Tamer Hassan) dominates the guards and the other prisoners. When they accidentally meet Alex, the girl tells how sick and threatening Three Finger is; sooner the survivals discover that Alex is telling the truth.

"Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead" is a poor sequel of this good franchise; actually is a terrible collection of clichés. The story is totally predictable; most of the characters are unlikable and maybe only Alex and Nate are charismatic; the "Freddy Krueger face" Three Finger is absurdly indestructible and without any credibility; the awful conclusion is a trigger for a possible sequel. The beautiful Janet Montgomery resembles Linda Fiorentino when she was young. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Pânico na Floresta 3" ("Panic in the Forest 3")

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.

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 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.

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.
