A group of college students gets lost in a storm during their snowmobiling trip and takes shelter in an abandoned sanitarium which, unbeknown to them, is home to three deformed cannibals. Terrible action, characters, acting and pretty much everything make 'Wrong Turn 4' even worse than it could be plus the ending? was cheesy as hell. (0/10)
... View MoreIn Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings, we get to see the start of how the cannibals came to be who and where they are in the Wrong Turn films 1-3. I thought this was quite a good idea at first, until I actually sat and watched the film.In Bloody Beginnings, we are given gore, decapitation, and more gore. That's pretty much all this film is.A group of college students go on a winter get away, but get lost on their snow mobiles. They manage to find a sanatorium where they take refuge for the night. Unknowing of the danger that lurks within, they party, drink and wake up in the morning one less, only to discover the danger lurking within the shadows.Now, I thought this was going to be a really good film. I thought that a prequel film to the original three films would bring some more light to the cannibals and their story. Although this did happen at the start of the film, with some insight to them and their beginnings, but it didn't tell us anything more other than how they ended up running the sanatorium. The rest of this film is just gore, bad CGI and horrible acting. I'm not sure what Declan O'Brien was trying to do with this film. The premise is a good one, but what they did within the film was just a let down. There is a lot that could have been done with this, but it just became a casual survival horror that lived up to nearly every trope of the book.Haunted / evil sanatorium – check Lesbian sex scene to drag in male viewers – check Teenagers partying, having sex, getting drunk – check Drunk teenagers unleashing an evil "force" - check Bad acting, too much gore, and horrible CGI – checkOverall, the first two films in the series are the best to watch. This was just a massive let down, and I'm wondering why I bothered watching films five and six after watching this one. It was just a big let down, and I can't help but sigh thinking back on it to write this review.
... View MoreGetting stranded in a freak snowstorm, a group of friends seeking shelter in a supposedly-abandoned asylum find it still inhabited by cannibalistic inmates housed there years ago hunting them down one- by-one and must find a way of getting away from the vicious killers.This was a rather fun and entertaining entry in the series which has a lot to like about it. One of the better parts here is with it managing to feature even more of the usual elements found in the last entries which comes off as a rather coherent connection to become that much more entertaining. That is mostly brought along by the film's great setting, as the large, cavernous structure with it's long, looming hallways, tight quarters and hidden rooms are used to good effect in both creating effective atmospheric locations and perfect areas for them to display their cruel tactics. It's also helped along by the raging storm and isolated nature while also taking into account the film's backstory about how they got freed and are now roaming the hospital grounds which is a great introductory scene of them running loose and leading the other inmates through their takeover of the hospital. When that leads into the later action scenes of them inside the building, there's quite a bit of fun on display with the stalking and hunting which are spread nicely throughout this, from the first walk-through where they see the shadows running throughout the hallways, the encounter in the kitchen where they first come across the family carving up their friend which starts in on the fun noose trap in the main hall and the resulting chases down into the basement as well as the different offices in the upper floors. The later scenes here, with the attack on the family who are gorging on their friend and leading into the first trap scene down in their jail cell is quite fun and the big finale is a series of chases through the main levels of the building and then outside into the surrounding woods which gives this all quite a bit of fun. All of these great action scenes are given a great sense of fun here as the gore and kills here are both over- the-top here, featuring numerous amounts of splatter and carnage which allow the film to be pretty brutal at times with some innovative torturing methods all of which give this one here a lot to like. While these here are the positives, it does have a few minor elements wrong with it, starting with the absolutely ludicrous decision-making by the characters which puts them into dangerous situations for that reason only, and it does hurt this one. From failing to leave once they know they're friends are missing and have bloodied equipment laying around and then have them trapped yet decide not to do anything which lets them come back later just lets this one feel so dragged out because their lack of rationale and common sense in the situation simply keeps them in trouble. As well, it's finale does seem to run on forever and get old after a while since it's not really all that clear what's going on with all the endless running around the same locations in the snow-covered woodlands surrounding the asylum, and it seems somewhat repetitive to keep going back to that same well of attack. Still, this here is a blast and quite enjoyable.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and drug use.
... View MoreThis movie is great. Great story, lots of Gore and the acting is decent. The movie has a great ending and something you wouldn't expect. I don't want to provide spoilers here about the ending. This movie is not for the weak of heart. It is very graphic. At the beginning of the movie it gets right into it and leaves you like your ready for the ride into the next hour and half of gore, thrills and suspense. The setting is great for the story and the characters are pretty weird. Some of the scenes are comic, but let me tell you, that the movie does get into some serious stuff. Well done, editing great, story great,and the special effects good.
