Boring
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
View MoreIt is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
View MoreWell I have to say that when it came out I thought it was complete trash because I was comparing it to the first two movies but now that the three other sequels are there its not that bad and especially if you liked the first two... Sure it's clearly not perfect and a lot of decisions for the plot are weird like the fact that they killed the only other cannibal and that the movie barely had scenes with the cannibals in. Other things bothered me like the CGI and the mask used for Three-finger. Personally I think that Declan O'Brien ruined the franchise and made it a joke, Valeri Milev isn't better but still the third was where it started to be bad and then came the fourth, the fifth and now the sixth... In the end this flick is fine I guess, disappointing but all right.
View MoreNate (Frederic) is a young cop in charge of transferring a bus load of high profile criminals. The cops know that the ring leader Chavez (Hassan) is planning a brake out so they route the bus down a back road in West Virginia. Bad idea, the only returning inbred cannibal from the earlier two films in this series, Three-finger (Borislav Iliev) runs the bus off the road and begins to pick them off. The criminals overtake the cops and find bags of money from an old brinks truck the inbred cannibals must have knocked off years ago. The greedy criminals with Chavez in charge attempt to make it out of the woods alive with the money. Outside a gory opening scene, this movie makes more wrong turns than you can imagine. We start with no likable characters and only two inbred cannibal killers and one is killed off quickly. Most of the running time is spent watching the 'let em die anyway' criminals, betray each other and get picked off by a 90 pound inbred. Three-finger is portrayed more as an annoying distraction for the group than the killing machine he is supposed to be! Sure there is some graphic gore thrown in, but this is light years away from the style and fun of the original.
View MoreThis could be fun if you had decided to somehow drop your IQ for a couple of hundreds of points (Who am I kidding? Just watch something else). The movie is full of blatant inconsistencies of the aggravating type that you need to be braindead to overlook. In fact the whole thing is simply a series of kills of a rather large but instantly forgettable cast by what I could only call a halfwit leper leprechaun. The victims are just so plain stupid, seemingly lacking all instinct of self preservation, making one bad call after another (much worse than the previous titles of the series) and jumping head first into their own death, that there is not a shred of sympathy to be felt. I just wished they were dead sooner so I could go on with my life that I put on stall to view (and now review) this piece of crap. The villain is equally uninteresting as the victims, not scary, simply a person with a badly made Halloween mask. The first Wrong Turn was not a model horror movie but at least had a shroud of mystery surrounding the villains and some excellent details of deformations that made the cannibal hillbillies truly repulsive. Now we have a trained monkey to be scared of, BUT a monkey that can travel through time and space as it seems, because this is the most annoying feature of this flick. Should you choose to watch this, despite so many warnings here be prepared for this recurring scene. Someone knocks someone else down, he doesn't bother killing the helpless person, instead he chooses to run in a straight line as far from him as possible and after a few seconds he ends up being ambushed by the helpless person. If this is not space-time travel, I don't know what is. The time traveler will usually be Three Fingers but others in this movie have a go at it too (mainly the bad-ass convicts). Seems to be a thing in these woods. Another thing might be how the hillbilly seems to wander around the woods with such ease with a truck when no one else can find even a simple dirt path. Anyway, this list of anomalies could go on forever but it's not worth it. Bad acting, bad dialogues, bad camera work, no suspense, ridiculous scenario, childish special effects and many more flaws leave no redeeming qualities for this movie. I cannot understand how this went in production in the first place but how it left the editing room or found distribution is beyond me too.
View More"Wrong Turn" was a great movie, the first one that is, then it started to go somewhat downhill in part 2, and now having seen part 3, I must say I am at a loss here. Why is the series on a downward slope and not able to pull up?The story in "Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead" is not really bad as such, but it is the lack of excitement and thrills that makes it less than mediocre. And also that there is basically only one of these misshapen mountain folk running around. Sure, you see a boy as well and another towards the end, but throughout the entire movie it is just a single one doing all the killing. And he looks comical and goofy, so it is very hard to take him serious as a murdering mad man.There is an okay amount of mutilation, blood and gore in this third movie, and that is one of the better things about it. And another thing that made it bearable to sit through was that the people they had cast for the various roles were actually doing good jobs with their given characters. (Just hard to take the mountain man serious as he looked like a spoof character!)There isn't really any great plot twists or surprises to the movie, and it plows forward at a fairly good pace. The only surprise twist there was in the movie, was the end scene. I enjoyed it, and think it was actually a nice touch to the movie. But all throughout the movie I sat and hoped for the movie to pick up and shift into a higher gear.And there were some pretty funny errors and goofs in the movie. For starters, Chavez must have incredible arm strength to be able to hold a shotgun out in stretched arm and fire it without any recoil. That was hilarious, even worse than Rambo and his guns. The other thing I noticed was when they cut off the legs to remove the dead person from the chain, it must have been some amazingly sharp blade on that knife as it cut through meat and muscle like butter, and it cut through bone apparently without even slowing down - or perhaps that convict didn't have any shin bones? It was just awful.I am sure that newcomers to the "Wrong Turn" series, will find it enjoyable, but if you are a seasoned and weathered gore hound, then you will find "Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead" to be nothing particularly interesting and to be a fairly mediocre movie at best. I have seen "Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead" twice now since it came out in 2009, and can't say that it has gotten any better since.Despite this, then I will still give parts 4 and 5 a go as well, just to have seen it all.
