The worst one yet
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.
Insulting
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.

Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead (2009)
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.
who gave those people the money ?
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.

What A Shame
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.
Did you know
- TriviaDespite the film being set in the USA and featuring American characters, the film is filmed in Bulgaria and most of the actors are British.
- GoofsThe shotgun is fired ~ 20 times without reloading.
- Alternate versionsThe movie had to be censored in order to be released in Germany at all. To get a SPIO/JK approval, approximately a minute and 37 seconds were cut to reduce gore in some scenes. To obtain a more commercial-friendly "Not under 18" rating from the FSK, approximately 7 minutes and 9 seconds were cut, every violent scene is either shortened or removed completely. As of October 2025, the uncut version of the movie has never been released in Germany, mostly due to the cut SPIO/JK version being BPjM indexed.
