Wrong Turn 3 : Left For Dead (2009) 6/10

Starring : Tom Frederic, Janet Montgomery, Gil Kolirin, Christian Contreras, Jake Curran, Tom McKay, Chucky Venn, Tamer Hassan
Director : Declan O’Brien
Running Time : 92 mins

A group of prisoners and guards are run off the road and find themselves trapped in the woods with no means of contacting the outside world. They are attacked by a tribe of inbred hill folk and, with the help of the lone survivor of an earlier attack, Alex (Montgomery), they soon discover that the hill folk are cannibals that plan on eating those that they take down.

The Wrong Turn movies have always been okay, and as far as hill folk attack movies go they were better than some, but this one has started to lose the plot. The idea of a group of prisoners having to fight off the hill folk isn’t a bad one, but sadly the characters are too one-dimensional to make this as appealing as it could have been. Given some nice character build ups and some background to all the criminals would have given this a much higher rating but, sadly, that just isn’t the case here. Coupled with one of the most ridiculous ending attacks ever, and most will find this more funny than scary.
