Wrong Turn (2024)
The horror film *Wrong Turn* (2003) centers around a group of young people who find themselves lost in the remote woods of West Virginia after taking a wrong turn. The group includes Chris Flynn, who has car trouble, and five friends who are stranded after their car is sabotaged. As they navigate the dense forest to find help, they encounter a family of deformed, cannibalistic mountain men—Three Finger, Saw Tooth, and One Eye—who ruthlessly hunt them down.
The cannibals, who have adapted to the wilderness over generations, use their knowledge of the terrain to stalk and ambush the group, creating a chilling game of cat and mouse. With limited options and increasing desperation, the characters must rely on their instincts and teamwork to try to survive the brutal assaults of the inbred killers. The film plays on fears of isolation and the unknown, amplifying the horror with graphic violence and intense chase scenes.
The success of *Wrong Turn* led to a series of sequels, each exploring similar themes of survival horror and relentless human predators. The series also received a 2021 reboot, which shifted the focus to a new group of characters and storylines involving a mysterious and dangerous mountain-dwelling cult rather than the original cannibalistic family.
