Tagline: It's the last one you'll ever take.
Plot: Chris (Desmond Harrington) has a job interview in Raleigh in three hours and he's making good time in his refurbished classic Mustang convertible...until an accident miles down the highway turns Chris' three-hour trip into a six-hour wait.Determined to make this critical appointment, Chris makes a hard U-turn and heads back up the West Virginia highway. Running low on fuel, he finds a dirt road that seemingly intersects the highway after about 20 miles. It's clearly a road less traveled, but to Chris it seems to be a quick fix to get around the highway traffic jam. Not far away, Jessie (Eliza Dushku) and her friends, Carly (Emmanuelle Chriqui), Carly's boyfriend Scott (Jeremy Sisto), Evan (Kevin Zegers) and his girlfriend Francine (Lindy Booth), stand quiet; stunned as they survey what's left of their road trip after the tries blow out, leaving them stranded deep in the middle of the woods. Chris heads down the dusty, winding back road, as the green forest canopy overhead casts ominous shadows of twilight on his foreboding path. He loses control around the curve and by the time he can see the disabled Ranger Rover in front of him it is too late to stop or swerve. The rear wheels lock up and the Mustang roars into the back of the SUV, scattering the people surround

 The film does achieve a couple of good, unexpected scares. And to the credit of Alan B. McElroy's script, these characters don't say nearly as many preposterous things as young people often do in this genre.--Anita Gates (The New York Times)
There are occasional moments of real flair from director Rob Schmidt, including some wonderfully gnarly death scenes and a few clever shocks that horror movie geeks will love (and will want to play back).--Jamey Hughton (MovieViews)
Overall, the film has some good moments and a few nice death scenes. I admit to having been startled a few times, but I still can’t recommend “Wrong Turn” after witnessing a self-destructive ending where a character must play Rambo and fight off the cannibals. 6/10--Scott Spicciati (Movie-Vault.com)
Wrong Turn is not a total failure – in particular, the sound editing and Elia Cmiral’s original score add a degree of suspense to the otherwise pointless action. In the end, Wrong Turn is simply the victim of a tired genre, where better special effects and bigger budgets don’t necessarily make a better horror film.  --David Levine (FilmCritic.com)
Wrong Turn is a tense, unrelenting nightmare.  --Carl Lazarevic (MovieWeb)
An efficient, unpleasant and tiresome hick horror flick, "Wrong Turn" is stocked with victims you won't care about, chased by villains you won't believe.  --Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
WRONG TURN does a decent job of doing what it needs to do in its niche, without getting too original at any point, without developing many of its characters at any point and without giving you much to remember three minutes after you walk out of the movie theater. 6/10--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
Excellent horror flick with good characters, impressively nasty death scenes and some genuinely scary ‘monsters’. You’ll never go into the woods again.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
"Wrong Turn" is low-end schlock that will likely land with a dull thud in the video remainder bin before the frost is on the pumpkin.  --Lou Lumenick (New York Post)
This is standard hack-and-giggle fare, with a few wisecracks mixed in with the gore. ... Actually, there is one sincerely scary moment. At the very end there is a strong hint of a sequel.--C.W. Nevius (San Francisco Chronicle)
A predictable but well-made slasher - it would be much better if only it didn't stick so rigidly to a formula we all know off by heart. 6/10--Gary Panton (Movie Gazette)
Joining the queue for this turkey is probably a wrong turn - and you may well wish that you could join in the carving. 3/10--Anton Bitel (Movie Gazette)
...the gore is disturbingly realistic, and the faux-teen cast is slaughtered in marginally creative fashions, but for all its frightful slasher intent, Wrong Turn fails simply because there’s not one iota of originality to it.  --Marc Savlov (Austin Chronicle)
