Product Description The backwoods of West Virginia are deeper, darker and deadlier than ever in this all-new, unrated chapter of WRONG TURN! The cutting-edge terror continues when a small mining town hosts the legendary Mountain Man Festival on Halloween, where crowds of costumed partygoers gather for a wild night of music and mischief. But a killer celebration soon gives way to a blood-soaked feeding frenzy when an inbred family of hillbilly cannibals trick and treat themselves to a group of visiting college students who are just dying for a good time... .com The Wrong Turn horror franchise again lurches forward with another grisly woodland face-off between unsuspecting young people and a trio of deformed cannibalistic killers. As with its predecessor, Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings, the fifth picture serves as a prequel to the events in the franchise's 2003 origin, with writer-director Declan O'Brien (Roger Corman's Sharktopus) returning to referee the mayhem. And, like the previous sequels, there are elements that might keep viewers and franchise fans engaged, most notably the presence of horror vet Doug Bradley--the once and future Pinhead from the Hellraiser series--as an incarcerated killer with a connection to the murderous brothers (series fans will recall that Wayne Robson played an older version of the character in the first two entries). Beyond that, however, it's bloody business as usual, as a quintet of concertgoers en route to a West Virginia music festival are brutally and systematically dispatched and consumed. The gory set pieces, which at times aspire to an E.C. Comics level of gleeful, diabolically elaborate deaths, exist as a sort of separate entity from the rest of the picture, which is woefully dull and cheaply executed. The murders, however, are energetically devised and executed, which should serve as indication of where the filmmakers' interests lie, with an entire supplemental feature (the seven-minute "Hillbilly Kills") devoted to detailing their elaborate planning. Those seeking splatter and nothing more should be fairly satisfied with the effects on display in Wrong Turn 5; all others needn't bother. The DVD includes enthusiastic commentary by O'Brien and producer Brett Levinson, as well as behind-the-scenes footage that shows cast and crew at work at the Sofia, Bulgaria, locations. --Paul Gaita

Bit of a Let Down
This instalment to the tremendous Wrong Turn series was a bit of a let down. This one is a sequel to number 4, still taking place before the original. Great concept, but the film had a lot of problems.Having said that, it was interesting to see who 'fathered' the hillbilly's. The sense of loyalty was profound, and the menacing ex-Pinhead actor was creepy. There was a sense in the film that it had difficulty progressing; a lot of the film was threatening banter between Doug Bradley and the Sheriff, and the festival was not a very good excuse for the people to gather in the town - after all, we hardly saw any footage of the festival.The characters were a bit weaker in this film, but it was terrifying at the end when the blind chick is found by the hillbilly crew - it is terrifying because we know what is going to happen to her after the film ends (based on the fact that we know the hillbilly's have a family in later years).Still, I did enjoy the film and I will watch it again (probably a few times). It will be interesting to see if this is a film that grows on you. 4 stars might seem too high based on this review, but despite the films problems, it still is a great movie, it definitely adds to the franchise. I just wish it had been produced more effectively.

Wrong Turn 5 - A Mixed Bag
I have all of this franchise on DVD and now in Blu-ray and have been somewhat of a fan. Here's what I noticed after the first viewing:Story:It's never made clear the time frame of this movie. WT4 was a prequel. After some long thought on this, I believe this is supposed to be after 4 and before 1. All 3 of these mutants are alive and well, so it doesn't make sense that this would be a continuation from 3.There is a reference from the older man Maynard that they aren't in an institution any longer. Maynard also refers to the 3 hillbilly freaks as "my boys." I never took him seriously, but after some consideration, maybe this man was really supposed to be their father. We don't know where this man came from or how he got hooked up with these 3. We just know that he ran into them at some point. We do see a computer screen at one point that would indicate that it is 2003, which would put this just months or even weeks before the original Wrong Turn.The story is very simple. Simply put, a group of victims gather at the sheriff's office one way or another and get picked off one at a time.Once the gang is more or less together at the sheriff's office, the sheriff tells everybody to stay together. They are trying to split them up to take them out one at a time. From that time forward everyone does their desperate best to try and split up. And when there's nobody else left that can leave, the sheriff herself wants to leave.This is all supposed to take place during a festival and the trailer leads you to believe that this is all wrapped around this festival, but you never get to see it. It's only an excuse to have an empty set. The sheriff was expecting a busy night of trouble from this festival and she didn't get one call or visit the entire night.I was confused as to how these 3 hillbillies could get hurt when smacked around by their 'father,' yet when one is shot in the leg, he doesn't flinch or even bleed. The one called 'Three finger' looks like he always did, but the other 2 don't resemble themselves from the other movies very much.The kills:Of course creativity is the thing with this and the movie does deliver some unique ways to kill people. I did feel that this time things had a bit of a "Saw" feel to it.The sex:Three sex scenes. They were very sensual rather than overly graphic. One had nothing to do with the story.The Special Effects:I didn't notice any CGI in this one. They went 'old school' and used actual animal guts. It gave a more realistic feel to it. Good call on this one.One particular kill was the first one where the woman is killed in the street. It looks like she has a day pack under her shirt. this is where the guts were stored for the scene. Really needed to do a better job on this scene.Maynard is shot in the shoulder. He's hurting pretty badly, but over time he just blows it off. Apparently he also has a self-cleaning shirt, as the blood gradually disappears as well.The set:This town sure looked like a small movie set. I was unimpressed. Low budget all the way here.The acting:Good acting all around. None of these actors are even American. You may pick up a slight accent from a line or 2 if you listen closely. Very impressive how well they acted and kept to an accurate American accent.Other random stuff:The ending of this movie looks a lot like the same location where #3 ended, at a hairpin turn. Pretty sure it's the very same place.Apparently people don't believe in using their brakes when something goes bad when driving.Nice BMWs don't have air bags.Greenbrier county, being a redneck area (I have lots of family still living there) has apparently become very open minded and elected a pretty woman to be county sheriff.The Extras:Few extras are included in the Blu-ray copy. No deleted scenes. You get to see how the killings were done and that the next installment may pick up not too far from where this one leaves off. That's about it.The disc itself:The picture quality was excellent and well presented with a nice menu system. There is a ton of movie trailers as well, which I could have done without.I give this one 2.5 stars. It's not far from WT3 in my mind. Actually 3 was better. There was real character development and drama going on in 3. This was more like a bunch of idiots trying to see how fast they can get themselves killed. So this would be the worst of the bunch. If you're a fan, rent it.

24 hour rental...really???
Saw the first two installments in the WT series and found them entertaining. Had a family issue arise right after we started watching WT5. Imagine my surprise the next night when I sat down to watch my rental and it was no longer available. Shame on me for not checking when I rented it, but I'd kind of figured a direct to video feature like Wrong Turn 5 would be available for longer than 24-hours after my $3 or $4 investment. I've rented movies from Amazon with a much higher pedigree that were available anywhere from 48-hours to 5-days after I purchased it. My bad for not waiting for this flick to find its home amongst similar offerings on Netflix. Here's to hoping Amazon extends the shelf-life of low grade "B-Horror" rentals to...I dunno...72-hrs. If I can't find time to consume in three days then I will gladly part with my money and consider the experience as never meant to be.
