Wrong Turn reboots the franchise and takes the series in a new and frightening direction. When a group of hikers get lost along the Appalachian Trail they run afoul of a separatist group called The Foundation and have to fight to survive. The move away from cannibalism is a welcomed change and allows the film to explore issues of prejudice, justice, and isolationism in interesting ways. Additionally, the kill scenes are gritty and visceral without being gratuitous. However, the writing’s a little weak; particularly is how it tries to use time jumps to create mystery. Yet despite its problems, Wrong Turn proves to be a good turn for a series that had become stale and cliché.
