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.

"I want to meet these people and find out what I'm all about." Danny (Iloot) has just found out that that he has inherited a mysterious resort in West Virginia. Him and his friends decide to take the trip to see what he has. When they arrive they meet Jackson and Sally (Katz) who claim to be his relatives. What starts out as an exciting new adventure take a deadly turn when family secrets are revealed. So...what can I say about Wrong Turn 6? If you have seen the others then you will know what to expect from this. There is a lot of gore and cannibalism. So if that is your thing then you will love this. When most horror franchises get into the 5th and 6th movies they turn more comedic. This one hasn't done that yet, I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. What I do know is that this is a series that didn't need one sequel let alone 5. Overall, if you have seen the others then you might at well watch this one. I give this a C-.

So here we have it...the 6th Installment of the Wrong Turn film series, and what an absolute stinker it is. In saying that, though, it's not the worst movie in the series - that title belongs to the dreadful 5th installment, but this 6th film comes pretty damn close to being just as bad.

In this one we have Danny, a young man who has mysteriously inherited a small fortune and a resort by the name of Hobb Springs in West Virginia, and accompanying him are his girlfriend, Toni, and a few of his friends. When they get there, Danny can't really believe his luck, but the more he and his friends look around the property, the more they discover that all is definitely not what it seems.

This has all the elements of a dire horror movie. Exceedingly thin plot? Check. Plenty of nudity? Check. Sub-par acting? Check. If you are looking for those three ingredients for a movie then you will enjoy Wrong Turn 6.

The story & plot of the movie were left wanting because, well, there really wasn't one. I mean I knew not to expect an award-winning story, but I was hoping that it would be better than the 5th. At least the latter part came true...just. The thing is, the story actually takes the series back to where it all started out with the 1st film...into the backwoods of West Virginia. It wasn't in a town somewhere or a mental asylum, and the movie did start off quite decently in all honesty.

About 20 minutes or so in, however, is when it just started to go really downhill as it gradually got more ridiculous with one of the main parts being how Danny so easily accepted who he was and his family's history (if you watch the movie you'll see what I mean).

Just as a side note: despite what some people say about this installment as well, there is NOTHING to indicate that this is a prequel to the 1st film. It is just a really horrendous sequel to the previous installments.

Do yourself a favour...skip this pile of trash.
