Pros: Eliza Dushku
Cons: ..

More hot babes, psycho killers and bad choices. Life goes on. First we find our hot hunk doctor-wanna-be, stuck in traffic and needing in the worst way to get to Raleigh, I assume N.C., for an interview. Got your choices, wait in the traffic jam and ...

Cons: Drivel for dialogue--too much is given away

Cons: That there ain't been a sequel yet!

2003's WRONG TURN is one of the few true masterpieces of horror to come out in the last twenty years! There's no message here. No moral value. Just all out horror, blood and gore! Everything I love about horror films. At the same time, it's never ...

Cons: formulaic plot, runs a bit short, mostly flat characters

Cons: CGI and painted backdrops are too obvious, makeup was too fake looking, plotless
