Having seen the first two in the series I though I'd chance on Wrong Turn 3 when it was shown on a cable station recently. Oh well, you win some you lose some.I knew that Wrong Turn 3 had been made for video so did not have any great expectations but it was quite clear that the producers had no real link with their predecessors in the franchise. The first Wrong Turns gave as much screen time to the mutants as the main characters and certainly Wrong Turn 2 gave some development as to why and how the mutants came to be, even though this was also a straight to video offering. Also the first two films were story driven with the first being an old fashion 'teens get lost' premise whereas the second was a satire on the reality survivor shows which seem to fill the schedules these days. It was clearly a cheaper affair but the writers clearly had some nouse and added lightness to the script that Wrong Turn 3 misses completely.It was no surprise to find that, according to IMDb, Connor James Delaney has not had his name attached to any other production since he got a pay cheque for this effort. If he got paid by the expletive he did quite well out of the deal. If he got paid for a coherent story then he is probably still paying backing the producers for breach of contract.Wrong Turn 3 quite clearly does not have the budget of its predecessors and this probably explains why the majority of the story takes place at night to hide the limited production values. The cast is the regular mix of B-movie unknowns with my interest only piqued by an early US role for Janet Montgomery whose American accent holds up better than the rest of the UK based cast whose accent drift around the world as they deliver mono syllabic lines interspersed with tiresome fight scenes, all the better for the fact that their white t-shirts are splattered with red 'blood' as they have been fighting with a meat grinder.And the story, for what it is, involves a group of inmates who are being transferred to another penitentiary early to prevent a planned break out. On their way they get knocked off the road by our friendly mutants and the rest is the standard run of the mill 'which one do you think will make it to the end' storyline. The writer and director add to the overall boredom by creating tension between the lead inmate Chavez (Tamer Hassan) and his nemesis Floyd (Gil Kolirin). The end result is that there is no tension. It is the constant third rate banter between these two as others around them die in fairly average fashion that makes this film very boring indeed. It is like watching two old blokes arguing over a wet paper bag.Declan O'Brien clearly has an agenda to fill in his role as director, and I see as writer of Wrong Turns 4 and 5, but this agenda does not include engaging with the audience.This is poor fare and if you have to waste 90 minutes of your time there are better ways to do so.

Today during the day I have been returning to the saga of "Wrong Turn" and this film really disappointed me a bit, plot, like that of all is almost identical but that does not bother me, it's ... it's one of the reasons that I like, besides the gore, I find that this film is very creative in terms of deaths and although the final and outcome of the protagonists facing deformed left me with little taste, it really does this film remains a step down relative to the other, it is the poor performance of special effects, more specifically deaths which left me with little taste and compared to other deliveries, I would have liked a higher quality, but good remains a good deal for those that love the genre and enjoyed this series

One of the major problems with 'Alien 3' was that 90% of the cast were murderers and thieves. Therefore, when they got eaten, no one cared. 'Wrong Turn 3' suffers from the same 'unlikability factor.' A busload of prison inmates crashes in the wilderness. They take the guards hostage and have to cross through the woods, while being constantly picked off by the typically malformed redneck cannibals.Only there's only one cannibal now. The others must have stayed at home for this one. And he does his best to pick off the cast, only you won't really care because none have been developed and they're evil druglords anyway. The film-makers throw in a token nice girl for the nice prison guard to spark up some sort of romantic interest with, but it's so forced it's unbelievable.The Wrong Turn 3 does really relate much to the two previous one, only in the (single) cannibal redneck. It's the sort of film that if you really don't have anything else to watch and are really bored, then you may just be able to sit through it. Otherwise, you might just want to give this one a miss (or stick to the infinitely more superior Wrong Turn (1). At least it didn't have a near all-British cast trying to sound American while running through a Bulgarian forest.

After reading previous negative reviews I still decided to give it a try. And I have to admit that I do not regret! Maybe it was not the most original piece but it was still entertaining enough from the beginning until the end. There was not too much talking (which is good for this type of movies), plot is simple but contains enough action. In my opinion it was not as good as the first movie, but it was much better than the second one. I do not like those "teenagers in trouble" type of horror movies (too many of those). Acting was not brilliant but it was decent enough for the prisoners. And I liked this money sharing part. Only those cops were not believable. In overall the movie was quite enjoyable!
