Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead

It seemed like a good idea, but it did not make such a good movie.

On it’s own it’s an OK movie, but nowhere next to the best in the Wrong Turn franchise.

Left for Dead goes back to the original inbreed slasher they had in the original, which is a good thing, and vast improvement over the last one.

This time around the inbreed slasher family (I don’t know if they have an official name) hunt down a bus filled with inmates from a near by penitentiary who attempt to escape after the inbreeds cause their bus accident only to wish they were back on the bus heading for prison.

Not since John Carpenter’s, The Thing has there been a horror movie with so much testosterone being hunted like oversexed teenage girls, but I guess A group of prisoners who have not been with a woman in a while can give off the same sent to a slasher.

So the one thing this movie does well that the whole franchise is built on is doing things differently than other slasher films and not relying too much on the clichés.

But the characters being killed are not that interesting, and are not played too well by the actors portraying them, so it falls really short of what it could be.

On its own, it’s mediocre but the weight of having it be a part of the wrong turn titles gave it shoes to big to fill, and it couldn’t do it.
