This movies plot is in no way connected to the 'Wrong Turn' films from the 90's & 2000's; even though it's made by the same guys, & it shares it's namesake. This film is not titled 'Wrong Turn 7" for a reason. They're simply using the namesake because they own it, and because they know it will get more attention, & word-of-mouth from potential consumers that way. The idea is to produce an updated/fresh version of a horror movie in which a group of attractive young people inevitably take a "wrong turn" in situation in which horror ensues. This film does just that in spades . The kills are original, and the plot is different than the normal deliverance type situation you might expect them to get into. This film should be viewed & reviewed on its own merits, & not because you didn't do your homework before watching it to figure out it's not a sequel or a remake. It does what it set out to achieve in thrilling & unpredictable ways. Everyone who is complaining that it's nothing like the earlier films are correct-this film is not a sequel, nor is it a remake- one has nothing to do with the other. The movie itself is a decent horror movie in its own right. I'm tired of seeing ppl give it such unfair ratings & reviews when, in reality it's really a very above average horror movie. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it's definitely got enough edge-of-your-seat action with great newly inventive kills. I really enjoyed it. I'm actually glad I looked at these poor reviews before watching the movie because my expectations going into it were so low, and I was very pleasantly surprised. Honestly, just don't listen to the haters, and watch it for yourself. Roger and Ebert gave it three stars. That's very impressive.
