I loved the original WRONG TURN and thought the sequel WRONG TURN 2:DEAD END was even better. However, WRONG TURN 3: LEFT FOR DEAD is not very good at all.
*Characters that you think are going to be vital (Three Toe, the Latino cop pretending to be a convict, the female deputy) are literally discarded a scene or two after they're introduced.
*There's only one cannibal killer (Three Finger) in the whole movie AND he seems to have suddenly developed the ability to teleport around the (strangely bright!) night-time woods at will.
*Two survivors go completely against their established characters for a gratuitously mean and grim-ended coda.
*The acting is pretty bad. Several British actors play American characters, and drop their accents in the middle of scenes Janet Montgomery plays basically the same character she played in the (far superior) HILLS RUN RED- her character exists solely to scream, cry, look like Selma Hayek and be placed in peril to get rescued by the hero.
The gore is far too reliant on CGI- the amateurish, obvious computer effects completely ruin the kills; it's also painfully obvious that characters "driving" are being subject to some woeful rear-projection CGI as well.
Poor writing, poor execution (and poor executions!) and woeful, overly digital gore. The sole high point in the film is Tom Frederic, who is the only good actor in the picture and manages to turn in a good, likable performance with a convincing accent.
If there is a WRONG TURN 4, I suggest bringing back Joe Lynch. At least he knows what he's doing...
