Now, when I first settled down to watch Wrong Turn 6, I wasn't expecting anything flashy; I was just expecting more gore than what was necessary, and some weirdness with the inbred cannibals. What I did not expect was the long unnecessary and plain confusing plot line, that did the film no justice. The acting in this was well done, but I feel that the characters were weakly written. None of this felt real. After watching Wrong Turn 1- 3, these characters just feel so flimsy and two dimensional, there's nothing about them that makes me care that they're being killed off. They were just props for the cannibals and that is really disappointing, especially after in Bloodlines, having such a strong set of characters.The timing of this one is really confusing. The films 4-6 are meant to come before the timing in 1-3, but yet... the characters have GoPros, they have smart phones, they have all this technology, that wasn't even available within the technology time of the first three films. I know that it was rumoured that this film was meant to be after 1-3, so the film order goes 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 6, but this was not done clearly enough, and to anyone with a little bit of lore to the whole story of Wrong Turn, it was really confusing and very off putting.The only reason this has gotten three stars from me is that of the make up. The special effects make up was done really well; of course, there are parts that could have been done better, as with every film that uses special effects make up, but that was really the only reason I didn't stop watching the film. The effects were good, and that's the only reason this is highly rated from me. If the effects weren't as good, this would only be a one star rating.From a horror fan, and someone who has loved Wrong Turn for a while, I would recommend just watching the first three films, four and five at a stretch. Forget this one exists; it's really not worth the time to sit and watch it. Wish I could have that time back to watch the first film again. A shame. This had real potential. It just turned into a cash monkey.

The fact that Wrong Turn became a franchise in the first place is baffling, not that I'm complaining. The original was essentially The Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets The Hills Have Eyes, and it was great for what it was, but hardly original enough to warrant the franchise treatment. Then it got an action-packed, direct-to-video sequel featuring Henry Rollins kicking all sorts of inbred cannibal ass, and it was awesome. Then the sequels kept coming and coming; Wrong Turn 4 has some merit in its own trashy sort of way, but 3 and 5 are among the worst "films" ever made. So going into Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort, you know not to expect top shelf cinema. But at the very least, you hope for some camp value, gratuitous nudity, and brutal kills.Wrong Turn 6 tries something unique to the franchise, though: a psychological angle. It's a story about a guy who inherits a large mansion from an unknown relative, and the mansion turns out to be the home and breeding grounds for the grotesque inbred cannibals we've come to know and love. The psychological aspect comes into play with the mansion's caretakers, distant relatives to the protagonist, and how they gradually lure him away from the reality that he once knew, represented by his oblivious group of friends, and eventually seduce him into their demented family culture. It's quite disturbing actually, and there are plenty of wince-inducing scenes here. The problem is the writing, directing, and acting - the bare necessities for a good film.The dialogue is horrendous; sadly, not in a so-bad-it's-funny sort of way. Things aren't much better acting-wise. It's not like great actors could have done much with a script like this, but these people are so unconvincing in their performances that the dialogue-driven scenes become downright aggravating to sit through. The sole exception is Sadie Katz as the caretaker Sally, who gives an unsettlingly sensual conviction to her character. She's by far the most alluring part of the film and deserves props for adding some credibility to the otherwise irredeemably bland cast. In regards to the directing, it can feel like you're watching a soft-core porn in one scene and then a graphic, torture-porn ridden snuff film in another. This may be due to the writing, but there's not even an attempt at building suspense. It just transitions from scene to scene with no regard to consistency in tone, pacing, or atmosphere; until finally, the movie ends.Again, there are admittedly great ideas buried under the disastrous execution. The plot is a nice change of pace for the series, the deaths are gruesome, and the ending is no doubt unnerving. Sadly, Wrong Turn 6 is bereft of production value, and the subject matter is too bleak to be enjoyed in a campy, fun way. It's a dreary exercise in gratuity; from the glorious nudity to the grisly gore, it's all shock and no awe. If you've seen the previous five installments, you might as well watch this one - it's a hell of a lot better than 5. But don't go in hoping for a return to the schlocky entertainment value of 2 or the genuine terror of the original because you sure as hell won't find either in Wrong Turn 6.

First and foremost I am a huge fan of B-movie horror. I am especially quite a fan of slasher/cannibal/human nature type movies. Acting is never my first priority with these types of film. Rather I look at content and pace. And of course, especially with these types of movies, gore and sexuality/nudity. So I must admit I was thoroughly pleased with Wrong Turn 6. Absolutely my favorite of the series. I especially love that we find out the how and why of the inbreeding. Also we are given a story that allows us plenty of gory deaths and sexual situations. It even throws in a curve ball. Just when you think the lead actor will escape or turn away from the clan, he doesn't. No, he embraces it. And in turn consummates with his awesomely hot sister. A must watch movie in my opinion. Oh, if only they all delivered as well as this one did.

Danny, a young man who grew up as an orphan, discovers he has relatives who own a hotel in the middle of nowhere. He doesn't expect much, but when he arrives there, it turns out to be a rather huge (quote) 'palace'. He immediately makes plans for renovation and reopening. However, the friends who accompany him make disturbing discoveries about his family...This is probably the least favorite sequel of the horror fans, because it takes 73 minutes until the chase really begins. To distract the audience from lack of action, the producers put in more nudity than the previous 5 episodes altogether. Somehow the pieces don't make a good picture, for example the 3 freaks disguising as monks for a ritual are a 1960s European Gothic movie element that doesn't fit into a modern American splatter series, even if shot in Bulgaria.Yet the movie has a couple of strong points, too. An amazingly edited scene is when the hero is invited to hunt with bow and arrow. This temptation of violence is cut in between the other family members chasing the sheriff while the voice over comment is very ambivalent. Another case of parallelism is when the hero is introduced to the bizarre family members. Instead of kissing his girlfriend, he finds himself in the arms (or rather, legs) of his cousin, floating from his past into the future intended for him without even noticing. In no previous episode, anyone was attracted to join the family, that was a good idea in the script to start with. However, some silly stuff and poor acting do a certain damage to the overall impression. I voted 8/4/6/7/5/4 for the 6 movies.
