What A Shame
7 April 2010
I am a big fan of the wrong turn series, especially the first one, i have only seen the second one once. But this film, oh what a shame, it does let the series down. The main problem with it is the acting and the dialogue. The story itself or the idea for the story isn't bad at all, but why choose such cheesy actors delivering such cheesy lines. The main lead copper isn't too bad, the female lead is okay, but the rest of them, oh where to start. There isn't enough hillbillies in it either, 2 or 3 of them at a count when there is meant to be a family of them according to the original wrong turn series. They seem to try and take this story back to the original woods too but somehow it just doesn't work, it doesn't have the same feel, maybe because this was set a night and the original was in the day. The special effects, gore and CGI leaves much to be desired too, its so cheesy its not stomach churning, more comical. But its not the worse I have seen/watched this year and I kind of did like the ending too. The worse of the year for me still goes to Cabin Fever 2.
