Well they did the teenage/young adults, they did a reality spin, now Wrong Turn takes on some prisoners. This is good, as we have no reason to give a damn about those up for the killing. It removes any need for character development, not usually a plus but we all know why we came to this film. It's a shame they've reduced the mutated hillbilly family to pretty much just one guy. There's needless gore, repetitive chase sequences and a bizarre car scene which is a mix of very bad greenscreen and location work. It was confusing. The ending really ticked me off though, the ultimate in tacked on, thoughtless, middle finger up to the audience endings. Even for something this cheap and quick, they could have at least respected the characters a tiny bit.

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.

As a fan of the first two 'Wrong Turn' films, I was expecting this to be a good but not great film with enough gore/horror/comedy to keep me entertained for 90 minutes. How wrong I was. The plot consists of this; four college kids are out rafting in the Bluefish River area, however their fun is abruptly ended when they are attacked by the mutant cannibal hillbilly Three Finger (Borislav Iliev). Only the teenager Alex (Janet Montgomery) succeeds in escaping running through the woods. Meanwhile, a group of dangerous criminals are transported from the West Virginia Grafton Penitentiary in a custody bus escorted by three security guards through the backwoods. Predictably the bus is attacked by Three Finger, causing the bus to crash in the woods and the struggle for power and survival begins.

Initially, I thought the plot was fairly well thought out and had the potential to work quite well. However, it doesn't work and these are the reasons why; the terrible casting, the laughable special effects and the dire script. I understand that this was a low budget horror movie but it could have been done so much better. The casting of British actors in American parts didn't help the film either with most of the casts accents slipping constantly, Tamer Hassan is particularly bad in his role and often reveals his strong London accent.

The special effects are beyond cheap and they look like something from the 70s or 80s. But undoubtedly the worst element of this movie is the script which could have been written by a couple of teenagers, the guards and cops have clichéd dialogue and the other actors have such a poor script to work with you almost begin to feel sorry for them.

Overall this movie is very poor and most importantly not scary in the slightest. In the end I found it a little insulting to the 'Wrong Turn' franchise.

I give it 2/10 and I think that may be slightly generous.

I am huge fan of Wrong turn series, wrong turn 1 and 2 were pure original gore until this crappy sequel showed

Wrong turn 3, I wasn't even aware of this film until preview teaser came out, and not for cinema, for DVD. I wondered why would such film go straight to DVD. So I watched this film, and it was the worst piece of crap I have ever seen. When I watched the preview I knew it was going to be bad anyway so I guess I was expecting it.

Actors, scenes, settings, effects were all so terribly made. I found no actors useful, maybe the girl and the police but they weren't so good either. And the prisoners, they made me laugh, especially the scene where the prisoner and the hillbilly fights, that scene frustrated me and I wanted to smash my TV go in to the movie and kill the hillbilly myself. What's up with the voice of that prisoner, I could barely understand him and he came to the point where I found really annoying.

The effects were so horrible that it was standard "home-made adobe effect". An amateur could make this effects using After effects. Such as when the guy gets slashed by the trap in the beginning scene, and he slices off, the effects were totally CGI. It's only real when they cut the camera shot and suddenly it's all real. The movie Cube had a better slicing scene in the intro and it is very old, well older than this

What I really want to point out is, do not buy this or rent this, it is waste of valuable money. I'd rather spend it on a charity. When you walk into the video store and see this movie on the shelf, say to yourself, "o look it's another crappy movie made by idiots". If you want to watch this, download it, like I did, it's only worth downloading.

Wrong Turn 3 (2009)

* (out of 4)

Downright horrid third entry in the series has a bus full of convicts and police taking a shortcut through the West Virginia mountains when they're ran off the road. The cons take control of the situation and they head off in the woods but it doesn't take long before a mutant redneck shows up to take them out.

WRONG TURN 3 is a direct-to-video release that is without question one of the worst horror films that you're going to see from this era and there's no doubt that it's a major step down from the previous two installments. If you ever want to show someone what a cheap, wannabe attempt to rip off fans is then this here would be the perfect example. Not only are we given an incredibly stupid plot full of annoying, worthless characters but we're also given some of the cheapest looking special effects that you'll ever see. Whereas the first WRONG TURN went for suspense and the second went for over-the-top gore, this one here is just an awful attempt at making money.

There are countless problems with this thing but we'll start with the CGI effects. To say they're awful would be putting it too kindly because these things are among the worst you're ever going to see. Yes, there's a lot of violence and gore here but none of it is effective because of how fake it looks. Just take a look at the scene where one man is split into three pieces. The CGI effect makes it look like jello has been sliced because when the man is sliced he just perfectly falls onto the ground in these pieces and not even the blood or guts inside of him come falling out. Even worse is a scene towards the start where someone takes an incredibly fake look arrow through the eye.

The characters are another major problem because you've really got no one to cheer for. The convicts are all people you hate and you want to see them finished off but before you get to that you've got to endure God-awful fighting and bickering. The good guys here are all rather boring, bland and you just don't care what happens to them. Even the mutant here is boring and whereas they're were brought to life in the first two, here they're just a cheap killing machine that adds nothing to the picture. Even the performances are pretty much forgettable as is everything else in this mess of a film.

Wrong Turn 3 Dead End, is nowhere near the level of goodness between Wrong Turn and Wrong Turn 2 Dead End. This film just destroyed the trilogy! Not it's just a twin. Wrong Turn 3 is nothing like the other Wrong Turns.

The negative points of Wrong Turn 3- It was boring, bad cast, stupid graphic of violence when people died and it was certainly TERRIBLY ACTED. Look at the guy who was screaming at the beginning of the film. THAT-WAS-TERRIBLE! The whole movie was just based on the people in the woods. They were just talking! This is the cycle of the movie: Kill, talk, fight, kill, talk, fight...

And the positive points of Wrong Turn 3- THERE ARE NONE!!!!

Terrible, stupid, bad graphic, overdone, three-finger Isn't three-finger, lack of plot, terrible tag line.

1.5/10

By the third movie, the audience has figured out the general plot.... Someone takes a WRONG TURN, and ends up cannibal fodder.

The acting is wooden, the gore is mediocre and way over the top ( a really bad combo...). The plot and subplots are both very predictable, and the ending was convoluted and left no real closure.

It really feels like a made for TV movie, that has been rewritten for the STV crowd. I barely paid attention and even so never got lost, nor felt as if I was missing our for not giving it more concern.

All and all, if someone else foots the bill, it is watchable but I would not recommend you spend hard earned cash on it.

This is my first review on IMDb, so bear with me, and let my first review be on this piece of garbage, straight to DVD, 3rd installment of the Wrong Turn saga...but I feel it my obligation to warn you, don't waste any money or time on it....whoever made this, obviously didn't! I enjoyed the first Wrong Turn, not the best in the genre, but a fun movie to watch (loved Eliza Dushku is this one). Especially after WT 2, I should have know better...this was going to disappoint. And it did more than that, I wouldn't even pick it up at the store if they were giving it out for free. Other than to burn it and make sure nobody else ever gets to see it.

Ah well, I know, especially in horrorland, sequels, good sequels are a rare find, as in any genre btw, but some are enjoyable to watch because they have something of the original in it, be it characters, plot, script.

WT 3 has none. I didn't even care when any of the characters met they're untimely and gruesome death. The script probably written on a post-it, the acting sometimes painful, overall pretty bad, and the special effects, well, not good enough to save this mess.

So, if you have never seen WT, watch the first one, never mind the rest, take my word on it 1/10

After reading previous negative reviews I still decided to give it a try. And I have to admit that I do not regret! Maybe it was not the most original piece but it was still entertaining enough from the beginning until the end. There was not too much talking (which is good for this type of movies), plot is simple but contains enough action. In my opinion it was not as good as the first movie, but it was much better than the second one. I do not like those "teenagers in trouble" type of horror movies (too many of those). Acting was not brilliant but it was decent enough for the prisoners. And I liked this money sharing part. Only those cops were not believable. In overall the movie was quite enjoyable!

"Wrong Turn" was a great movie, the first one that is, then it started to go somewhat downhill in part 2, and now having seen part 3, I must say I am at a loss here. Why is the series on a downward slope and not able to pull up?

The story in "Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead" is not really bad as such, but it is the lack of excitement and thrills that makes it less than mediocre. And also that there is basically only one of these misshapen mountain folk running around. Sure, you see a boy as well and another towards the end, but throughout the entire movie it is just a single one doing all the killing. And he looks comical and goofy, so it is very hard to take him serious as a murdering mad man.

There is an okay amount of mutilation, blood and gore in this third movie, and that is one of the better things about it. And another thing that made it bearable to sit through was that the people they had cast for the various roles were actually doing good jobs with their given characters. (Just hard to take the mountain man serious as he looked like a spoof character!)

There isn't really any great plot twists or surprises to the movie, and it plows forward at a fairly good pace. The only surprise twist there was in the movie, was the end scene. I enjoyed it, and think it was actually a nice touch to the movie. But all throughout the movie I sat and hoped for the movie to pick up and shift into a higher gear.

And there were some pretty funny errors and goofs in the movie. For starters, Chavez must have incredible arm strength to be able to hold a shotgun out in stretched arm and fire it without any recoil. That was hilarious, even worse than Rambo and his guns. The other thing I noticed was when they cut off the legs to remove the dead person from the chain, it must have been some amazingly sharp blade on that knife as it cut through meat and muscle like butter, and it cut through bone apparently without even slowing down - or perhaps that convict didn't have any shin bones? It was just awful.

I am sure that newcomers to the "Wrong Turn" series, will find it enjoyable, but if you are a seasoned and weathered gore hound, then you will find "Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead" to be nothing particularly interesting and to be a fairly mediocre movie at best. I have seen "Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead" twice now since it came out in 2009, and can't say that it has gotten any better since.

Despite this, then I will still give parts 4 and 5 a go as well, just to have seen it all.

After the first two movies which were 5 or 6/10 this one was a real let down. The acting is poor and the story is poor. It would have helped to have more deformed bad guys rather than just one throughout the whole film. As there are families of baddies in the woods I though the film would have progressed from the second film and developed more of a story into the third film but this doesn't happen. The gore is what you expect with a couple of tasty deaths but the acting really is bad and let's the film down badly.You can see why this was a straight to DVD movie..hopefully they don't try and make a 4th one unless a good budget is used. You can see when the actors are in the bus that the road ahead is cheaply added into the film to save money...Don't bother with this film 3/10.

While rafting in the Bluefish River area, four college kids are attacked by the mutant cannibal hillbilly Three Finger (Borislav Iliev). Only the teenager Alex (Janet Montgomery) succeeds in escaping running through the woods. Meanwhile, a group of dangerous criminals are transported from the West Virginia Grafton Penitentiary in a custody bus escorted by three security guards through the backwoods. When they park in a rest stop in a police station, Sheriff Carver (Bill Moody) is informed about the missing teenagers. The bus driver heads to their destination with the guards and the prisoners but a tow truck driven by Three Finger hits the bus that falls off the road. They are attacked by Three Finger and the perilous Carlo Chavez (Tamer Hassan) dominates the guards and the other prisoners. When they accidentally meet Alex, the girl tells how sick and threatening Three Finger is; sooner the survivals discover that Alex is telling the truth.

"Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead" is a poor sequel of this good franchise; actually is a terrible collection of clichés. The story is totally predictable; most of the characters are unlikable and maybe only Alex and Nate are charismatic; the "Freddy Krueger face" Three Finger is absurdly indestructible and without any credibility; the awful conclusion is a trigger for a possible sequel. The beautiful Janet Montgomery resembles Linda Fiorentino when she was young. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Pânico na Floresta 3" ("Panic in the Forest 3")

By all means the first Wrong Turn, was entertaining and original. Wrong Turn 2 was slightly original... both with great acting... Yet Wrong Turn 3: Left For Dead is a boring, corny and basically spoils how good the rest of the movies were. The movie is basically set in the woods with badly acted prisoners, two prison officers and a young woman who are fighting for their lives from a deformed in-breded mutant who seems whatever you do will never die, and a younger in-breded mutant.. It is basically an extremely badly acted 'horror' film which if you enjoyed the great entertainment from the previous movies, do not by all means spear yourself to watch this.

1/10.

This movie made me realize all the more how incredibly generic and below average the first movie out of the series actually was. At least the sequels showed some creativity and tried out some new stuff.

This is still definitely a movie though that had far more potential in it and the end result is therefore also far from anything real satisfying. Nevertheless within its genre there is basically very little wrong with this movie. It's still a good watch, that offers some nice stuff for the fans of it to enjoy.

Basically all of the movie its wasted potential is in its concept of having a bunch of tough convicts, who escaped, set in the woods against the cannibal-incest-mutant-freaks. It sounds real awesome and the movie could had really been like a "Predator" type of horror-action cross-over but the movie really does far too little with this concept. Of course this is also partly due the to movie its fairly low budget, this movie being a straight to video sequel and all but that doesn't make it less disappointing as a viewer though. Seriously, they couldn't have come up with some better stuff for this movie with such a potentially great and awesome sounding concept? The story now instead makes some odd and wrong choices.

The movie could had really used some more excitement and now all of the excitement basically only comes from its killings, that are being quite creative though at times. It makes this movie nice to watch for the genre lovers but it basically does very little for the movie its actual tension, horror and originality. To be honest, the movie is now more often being a bit silly and clumsy than anything spectacular or exciting. But overall this doesn't ruin to movie its overall watch-ability.

What could had also made the movie a tad bit better was if it had some characters in it that we could actual care about or at least get to know something about. All of the characters are really flat and stereotypical and it really should had focused a bit more on its main character and 'hero'.

But oh well, within its genre this certainly is not a bad one. There are obviously far worse movies you can waste your time on and with this movie you will almost certainly still have some fun as well.

Start of really well, With some teens hanging out in the woods, with some nudity at the start, the kills start there and then as they are killed by the cannibals , Alex see this, she heads back into the woods, while her friends are getting killed.

At this point, I did like the move but then it takes a really bad Wrong Turn.

Now we see a bus load of criminals who are being moved from one West Virginia prison to another.

Which takes a shortcut through the woods. While there in woods there bus is attacked and then Crashes.

Nate the cop, get all the criminals out of the Bus, before it blows up and then Latino take leads of the group and soon find out something else in the woods.

They go into the woods and Nate is attacked by Alex the Girl and then Nate calms her down but then Latino the criminal, dose not let her go.

There are way too many fights scenes going on this, it silly. There are some good deaths scenes, which I really liked but they somehow end up messing up one of the death scenes , which was so badly done.

Also these cannibals are not scary at all,I actually felt sorry for one ofthe Cannibal.

The acting from the whole cast was not that good at all , it was a least watchable.

3/10

For the gore, the death scenes. this is a real good film. some of the actors are a bit crap but also some are good. this one prob has the best death scenes. i loved them, something new from the 1st two.

although there is only 2 of the mutant killers. its still great to watch.

the storyline is good too. prisoners on their way to a jail get introduced to the cannibals in the forest. one by one they get taken out.

if you liked the 1st two you will also like this. so don't be put off by the negative comments and reviews.

rent it. buy it now.

OK,a lot say that WRONG TURN 1 was better than 2, i don't think so.Why? it didn't have much action,the story was dragging and it was lacking on the gore side,when comparing it to other modern day horror movies it just didn't do the job. WRONG TURN 2 however was a more solid and entertaining movie, the gore scenes increased and also did the action, and that is what a horror fan, or gore hound looks for, as now we have seen all the executions from 1 and 2 its time to go a little bit further,and thats what wrong turn 3 does, it pushes the levels of the killings and gore on a higher level, the story line wasn't that bad,nor the acting,not top notch but decent. And so it qualifies into todays modern horror giving you some good suspenseful moments. AND YES ALTHOUGH TILL NOW IT IS THE LEAST RATED I THINK IT DESERVES A HIGHER RANK, NOT FOR THE STORY OR THE ACTING BUT JUST FOR THE HIGHER LEVELS OF GORE WHICH WE ALL WAIT FOR WHEN A NEW MOVIE COMES OUT.

I never really cared for the first Wrong Turn, but in breaking the old horror cliché I actually found the sequel to be quite enjoyable; more victims, more freaks, good fun. This film however has taken all the good work in Wrong Turn 2 to make the film into a series akin to a mixture between Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th, what with mental Hillbillies cutting down a group of horny teens, and flushed it down the toilet.

We are seemingly transported back to the original family, where only the annoying laughing hick-mutant is left and he inexplicably has a plot-device son. Throw in some escapee prisoners, guards and a little eye candy for taste and you have the recipe for another badly scripted throw away movie that will no doubt be in pound shops by Christmas.

There honestly is not much point in watching this movie. Nothing exciting or amusing happens and the dialogue is bad but not cheesy so it's not even that satisfying to laugh at. You will just end up disappointed and a little closer to death. Avoid!
