Suddenly under siege, Jen and her friends seem headed to the point of no return- unless Jen's father (Golden Globe (R) nominee Matthew Modine) can reach them in time.

Wrong Turn is a missed opportunity to rethink some genuinely deep subject matter, and all the more disappointing for it. Go to Full Review

Wrong Turn finds its agile equilibrium in the balance between being a film of ideas and a film with a body count. Go to Full Review
Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review 03/02/2021
Efficient and enjoyable. A couple of horrifying and haunting moments. The whole thing doesn't make any sense at all, and it scores zero points for originality, but it has a really haunting final shot and it does exactly what it set it to do. Go to Full Review

How rare that the seventh film in a long-ignored series can reinvent the premise so cleverly. Go to Full Review
Salome Gonstad Comic Years 09/08/2021
If they'd tightened these ideas up just a tad, mainly by sharpening the viewpoint, then this movie might be a new modern classic. As it is, though, it's mainly a sometimes exciting detour. Go to Full Review
