Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead (Unrated)

Good condition

I'm not certain, by I think so far the Wrong Turn movies have now rated three-for-three five star ratings from me.Do spoilers follow? Spoilers galore!It starts out looking like a good dose of what we've already seen. Four good looking white college-age rafters out in the West Virginia woods where they probably shouldn't be. We get a few minutes of some pretty spectacular nudity and then just as there's about to be a sex scene, the two lovers get pierced by an arrow. There's nothing like the Wrong Turn movies to remind you how scary arrows can be. And as a viewer, it seemed to me that the four rafters were being killed off darned fast. If the movie was to be all about them, there wasn't going to be much of a movie left.Well, one camper, Alex (Janet Montgomery), the obligatory good-looking tomboy, makes her getaway into the scary woods, and the others perish (impaled right through the back of the head with a huge spear, caught in a booby trap that slices the body into three pieces, etc)And then we're taken forward to days, to a maximum security (I'm guessing...I'm a Democrat, we know more about schools than prisons) prison where two titanic cons, Chavez (Tamer Hassan) and Floyd (Gil Kolirin) are planning a break together during an upcoming transport. The authorities, having caught wind of it via their plant (Christian Contreras), arrange to have the transport moved up two days. And routed through the West Virginia backwoods. Through the place you don't want to be unless you're looking to get shanghaied by vicious flesh-eating hillbilly mutants.They get shanghaied by vicious flesh-eating hillbilly mutants. What follows is an entertaining, bloody romp through the woods with all the added testosterone you want from a prison break movie. The movie serves up two great clash-of-the-titans style hand-to-hand combat scenes, one between Chavez and Floyd, and then between Floyd and the three-toed hillbilly who is the film's main antagonist.This is not the grindfest that movie 2 was, nor is it the perfectly orchestrated pulse-check escape movie that the first was, but there is such a strong current of brutality under the surface here, with one of the most disturbing skull-crack moment I've seen since Udo Boll's Seed, that I really have to say it makes the grade. Do you think the series will get five-for-five? I'm eager to see!

SCARY

An exciting must have entry in the Wrong Turn horror franchise.

I'm a sucker for inbred cannibal flicks, which is why I liked the original, theatrically-released WRONG TURN (2003) and it's first DTV sequel, WRONG TURN 2: DEAD END (2007), a fast-paced and gory flick that mixed cannibal and reality TV genres to good effect. PART 3 kicks off in grand fashion, with two kayaking couples traveling down a river and stopping for a pot break. Enter mutated cannibal Three Finger (Borislav Iliev), as he shoots one of the girls in her breast with an arrow (it also pierces her boyfriend's hand as he's feeling her up!) and then finishes her off with another arrow through the back of her head and her right eye popping out of its socket, stuck on the arrow's tip (which the giggling Three Finger eats like it was a piece of chocolate). Three Finger kills the two guys, one with a spiked pole through the mouth and the other with a wire booby trap, which cuts him into three pieces (an obvious CGI effect, but watching Three Finger sticking his face into the bloody offal of the shredded body will put you off lunch for several days). The only one to survive is Alex (Janet Montgomery; THE HILLS RUN RED - 2009), but we will have to wait a while to see how she copes. The film then switches to West Virginia's Grafton Penitentiary, where guards Nate (Tom Frederic; BLOOD TRAILS - 2006) and Walter (Chucky Venn) must escort notorious prisoner Chavez (Tamer Hassain) and other violent cons, including skinhead Floyd (Gil Kolirin), to another prison. Only Nate knows that the prisoner chained to Chavez, Willy (Christian Contreras), is actually an undercover U.S. Marshal who believes that Chavez, with Floyd's help, is planning an escape during the bus trip. Since Nate was born and bred in the area, he takes the bus on the Old Mill Road to avoid an escape attempt, but it puts them in prime cannibal country (Ah, West Virginia. Home of coal mines and Slavic-looking flesh-eating mutant cannibals!). Of course, Three Finger spots the bus and forces it over an embankment with his pickup truck and the foot chase is on. Three Finger and his cannibal friend, Three Toe, begin slaughtering the prisoners in various ways, as Chavez gets the upper hand and makes Nate and a badly injured Walter his prisoners. With Nate as their guide, the group head for safety and run into Alex, who warns them about the cannibals (Not only is she a little late in that department, she really should worry about Floyd, who wants her to "sit and spin" on his lap!). The rest of the film is a series of gory set pieces, as the prisoners find an abandoned armored car full of money (and become greedy). Chavez shoots Walter in the head and then cuts Three Toe's head off and impales it on a pole for Three Finger to find. Willy is the next to die when he has his face cut off by a scythe booby trap (Chavez and Floyd cut off Willy's legs to free them from their leg shackles!). Will Nate and Alex escape, since they not only have to worry about Three Finger, they also have to deal with Chavez and Floyd's brutal tactics? Stay tuned, it's about to get bloody. As a gore flick, WRONG TURN 3 delivers in spades, as limbs are hacked off, necks are sliced, booby traps are triggered, brains are eaten, bodies are impaled and flesh is devoured. Too bad director Declan O'Brien (who directed three Syfy original movies in 2008: ROCK MONSTER, CYCLOPS and MONSTER ARK) and screenwriter Connor James Delaney throw all logic out the window, making every plot device in this film seem forced and outright ridiculous. Sure, the film is bloody as hell, but without a good storyline, all the film has to offer is a series of gory killings (some done with CGI enhancement, including Willy's face removal) with characters you don't care much about, so when they are killed, the viewer really doesn't mind. As far as killer cannibal flicks go, WRONG TURN 3: LEFT FOR DEAD is minor stuff, but if you like gore for gore's sake, you may want to give it a look. Me? I'd rather have at least a couple of characters I care about to go along with all the grue. You'll find none of that here, although the triple-cross finale did catch me by surprise and sets it up for the inevitable Part 4. Filmed in Bulgaria around the same time as THE HILLS RUN RED. Followed by WRONG TURN 4: BLOODY BEGINNINGS (2011), which is a prequel of sorts that tells the origins of Three Finger and his cannibal family, WRONG TURN 5: BLOODLINES (2012) and the final film, WRONG TURN 6: FINAL RESORT (2014), all of which I will be reviewing shortly. Also starring Tom McKay, Mike Straub, Emma Clifford, Todd Jenson, Louise Cliffe and Bill Moody. A Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment DVD Release. Unrated.

Good

This movie I really enjoyed because it seems like in this movie these two people were deformed. I thought the movie was about someone had taken a life into there own hands but as I read before buying the movie it's what I was looking for a movie that has Gore, Blood and killings and it was not in a city. I love Horro Movies and this movie is a great movie I will be looking to get Wrong Turn, Wrong Turn 2 and four because these movie keeps me at the edge of my seat I wouldn't buy a movie if it was a comedy horror it wouldn't be interesting to me but Wrong Turn 3 is a great movie.

Five stars
