How that franchise has fallen from exciting and riveting to crass and predictable in the span of 4 sequels is saddening.

This 5th installment is basically a redux of the 3rd one, with a similar set-up and a just as forgettable cast of characters. It unevenly tries to maintain a balance between slasher, backwoods & gore but has none of the jump-out-of-your-seat thrills of the former and dispatches the second midway through the movie. So we are left with gore, and plenty of in a mean and disgusting way. The kills are traditionally inventive and bloody in the "Wrong Turn" franchise, but now they're just meant to induce nausea. The creatures slowly feed a bimbo her entrails, slowly smash a hunk's knees to smithereens, slowly burn a drunkard in a can, you got it, it's got to be slow and mean and disgusting. And the creatures laugh maniacally throughout it all, as if the director expected its audience to laugh with them at their victims' misery. I found it mean, gratuitous and insulting and came out of this seating feeling dirty and cheap.

On a positive note, there's some good sex scenes that are a throwback to more "innocent" slashers, and the sheriff had presence and gusto. It also looks slick and professional, which does not excuse its zero values.

Some teenagers go to a festival in a small town where a kind of Halloween masquerade takes place. When an old man attacks them with a knife, the kids get arrested too, because they carry drugs on them. However, the old man is the leader of the freaks we know from the previous parts of the series. They come to rescue 'daddy', and among the Halloween masks, they don't even attract too much attention with their looks. The police station is soon under siege, a situation reminding me of the John Carpenter classic 'Assault on Precinct 13'.

Part 5 is probably the most vicious episode of them all, not hiding the violence in a dark forest, but openly showing it in the streets and enjoying it to a degree some viewers may find disturbing. There were 5 major censorship cuts in the DVD released in my country, and it is not hard to see why (some missing footage could be spotted in the bonus material, anyway). Not that I was angry about that - it was over a bit sooner. 'Wrong Turn 5' is rather crude and simple, splatter effects over story content, apparently the series is on its decline here. Camilla Arfwedson got a great female lead role as the sheriff at least. I voted 8/4/6/7/5/4 for the 6 movies.

... for becoming an actor myself. I have no skill set whatsoever, have never acted before or starred in anything besides my own life..., i even was unable to play a rock in our pre-school play because i just don't have it in me. But still, i am confident and straight-forward in saying that this movie assures me of my future career as an actor. Please, directors or whoever fills his days with this crap, contact me to perform in the next Wrong Turn and it will be at least more successful then this one...

No... Really... I almost vomited at the acting job... And i'm used to drinking whisky from the bottle...

"Wrong Turn 5" continues the slasher tradition made by the previous four movies, but this time around the slashing is not just limited to the characters. The budget for this movie was slashed as well. Although the production travelled to Bulgaria to film in order to cut costs, the movie looks real cheap in a number of aspects. The town's street scenes are obviously a studio back lot, the interior rooms are very obviously sets, and the make-up for the hillbilly killers looks especially cheesy.

Further problems can be found in the screenplay. There are a number of plot issues that are murky or are simply not explained at all. The characters also do some really dumb things that I think even real people who are not highly intelligent would do.

As for the ingredients you expect in a movie like this - sex/nudity and gore - well, I admit the movie does score some points in these categories. There's gratuitous sex, and the gory moments get especially squishy at times. That stuff is certainly welcome, but I think even die hard slasher fans will admit that apart from that stuff, the movie doesn't really have that much else to offer that's positive. You'd be better off skipping this entry of the series and putting part 2 back in your DVD player for another run.

In Fairlake, West Virginia, there is a festival during the Halloween called Mountain Man Festival. A group of college students hits the patriarch Maynard (Doug Bradley) of a hillbilly cannibal family on the road and they are arrested with Maynard by Sheriff Angela (Camilla Arfwedson). Soon his boys assault the Sheriff Station in a night of crime spree.

"Wrong Turn 5" is a stupid, annoying and unfunny collection of clichés. The characters are irritating and take the most imbecile attitude as possible. The town has a festival but it seems to be a ghost town. The story might have worked with humor, but the heavy hand of director Declan O'Brien makes a forgettable garbage. My vote is one (awful).

Title (Brazil): "Pânico na Floresta 5" ("Panic in the Florest 5")

Declan O'Brien has pretty much destroyed the heart pumping, terrifying Wrong Turn franchise with his absurd sequels, WT3 is an exception though. First thing that's wrong with this is that someone gets slaughtered within in the first five minutes. Where is the build up of suspense or story development? The acting is obscene. The only decent performance is Camilla Arfwedson as 'Sheriff Angela'. However the gore/death moments are the same cheesy nonsense from the rest of O' Brien's sequels. I was honestly laughing through a lot of the movie. There is no horror. No suspense. No memorable performances or moments. Just another lame slasher flick. Stop producing sequels. How in the hell is this supposed to be respectable horror?!??

This latest installment of the Wrong Turn series sees a group of young campers get unwittingly mixed up in an unfortunate series of events when the leader of a group of cannibals gets arrested. The "rescue mission" becomes a game of life of death when the said cannibals come to their leader's aid.

Now, the 1st movie was really good...good acting with very believable characters, good suspense, and really good creepy moments and enough gore to keep the gore fest fans happy. This one, however, was completely at the other end of the scale. The plot is ridiculous, the characters just look totally out of place (even the main town inhabitants look as if they don't belong there), the acting is pretty damn awful, and the make-up for the cannibals is amateurish at best...in fact I've seen better Halloween masks made by kindergarten kids. This is, in fact, a very bad Friday The 13th movie with a different title and there were parts where I kept expecting Jason to pop out from behind a tree or a corner of a building at some point.

When watching this movie you realise that absolutely nothing about it makes any sense either and just two examples of that are: 1) a cop gets charged at by cannibals...cop just stands there saying "halt" with no weapon drawn, and 2) the town is full of people celebrating the Mountain Man Festival yet as the movie goes on, without any explanation, it suddenly becomes like a ghost town. There are obviously much more than that but I don't have the time or space to list them all, and I don't want to ruin it (ahem) for you.

I've seen some really terrible movies in my time but this one ranks up there with one of the worst I've ever seen. I knew just 5 minutes into the movie it was going to be bad, but I didn't think it would be as bad as it was. I just wish there was an option for 0 stars because this movie doesn't even deserve a 1-star rating.

Avoid this absolute drivel at all costs unless you want to endure 91 minutes of pain. Don't say you weren't warned.

Hearing al the negativity about this entry I was a bit afraid to start this straight to DVD horror. I liked part 4 and had a big laugh with it especially with the end. The only thing I saw was that director Declan O'Brien was back behind the wheel.

Starts off rather with a big joke and some nudity, so far so good. We move further to a jogger running in the woods and do come across some weird faces, she thinks they are masks again but no, it's the hillbillies from wrong turn, off goes one finger in comes Doug Bradley. he cuts off her hand and so we see move to another joke, please give me a hand. You will see what I'm talking about. The opening credits starts and guess what, the hand being cut off is used to say Wrong Turn 5. By seeing that you immediately know that you are in a Wrong Turn flick with an easy script and lots of gore and this time a lot of tits being shown.

The whole Wrong Turn franchise has indeed turned away from a serious horror flick towards and extreme gory flick with some jokes added. I was more into part 4 but still I enjoyed it. The acting wasn't always convincing but Camilla Arfwedson (Sheriff Angela) did a fine job and Doug Bradley (Maynard) was fine too even as he is falling into one sentences like in Hellraiser (1987). He does remind you of pinhead sometimes but it do adds something toward his person here.

If you didn't like the franchise then this entry wont help you loving it from now on. It's gory, stupid sometimes and only made for the nasty killings, some believable, some exaggerated some stupid. But by now you know what you will get from Wrong Turn. I liked it even as the end was rather simple, and yes, the town was rather deserted for having a big festival. Sometimes the streets are full of people and sometimes it looked like a ghost town.

Gore 4/5 Nudity 2,5/5 Effects 4/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 1/5

I see no reviews for this yet so I guess Ill right the review for the last few with any hope in this franchise. Listen the last two sequels were unbearable to watch. The third and fourth sequel made me want to shoot myself while I was watching but this one I could find oddly watchable.

The makeup effects were still awful. It seems they just try less and less to make them look real and now they just look like people are wearing Halloween masks. But the storyline had switched and was a better, the acting was done fairly well much better then the last two and there was tons of gore to keep you entertained.

This movie is about a group of friends who visits a small town to go to a Halloween festival. At the festival that honours murdering hillbillies for some reason they are starting to be tracked down my murderous hillbillies.

This movie actually was not bad. Compared to the third and fourth instalment's this one is gold but compared to the first its still crap. So if you want any hope for the franchise of Wrong Turn this is your last and best chance. Skip the third and fourth

The latest entry in the Wrong Turn franchise, a morally inept and reprehensible piece of trash that does nothing more than add an extra nail to the coffin of what is the horror genre, if you can even call this a horror movie.

But, I can't blame those involved entirely. I knew what to expect. After being subjected to the fourth film, and drawing the same conclusions basically, when I saw Declan O'Brien was helming this installment, I rolled my eyes in aggravation, as I knew this would turn out no better than the last installment.

There is no need for this movie to exist. There is no point in this movie's being. It serves no purpose, has no moral, other than being a quick and easy meal ticket for those involved in its conception. It's lazy, it's cheap, it's a mean-spirited and sadistic piece of trash. And courtesy of IMDb's censorship rules, I almost feel like I'm complimenting the movie by that statement. I feel even referring to it as a movie is insulting. This wasn't a movie. This wasn't entertainment. This was a snuff flick. It doesn't care whether you like it or not. This is arguably the lowest both the franchise and the horror genre have ever gotten, and do you know what really leaves a sour taste in my mouth? This isn't the last we'll see of it. As of now, we're upon the release of the third installment of the Joy Ride series (or Road Kill as it's known internationally), the latest installment being helmed by none other than Declan O'Brien. So I have this to say: thank you, Mr. O'Brien. Because I now realise that if you can make it in this business, then anybody can. You could make the most mind-numbingly dumb, sadistic, contemptible, no-talent-required piece of crap on the planet, and still continue to get hired for work. So thank you for giving me hope. And thank you for burying this franchise with your piece of s*it, god-awful installments. I at least have some hope, because no matter how bad the upcoming Wrong Turn 6 may be, they can't do any worse than you already have.

As a fan of the Wrong turn movies (first and second), I was surprised that there was a 5th of the series that was released (I only found out yesterday while I was on the internet)...

To my interest I had to watch this version also. I honestly do not get why Declan O'Brien keeps experimenting with the wrong turn series... I mean he really messed it up from the 3rd, 4th wasn't any better but a 5th one ???

Really ???? The setting and the acting are both bad and don't have any intense to it (apart from the gory deaths). I think Declan O'Brien is making these just so that he could express his love for different gory deaths .....;;;

And why are the characters so dumb in Declan O'Brien versions of the Wrong turn series ????... honestly....

I've seen a lot of horror movies, but this one is one of the worst. The plot is pretty typical of low budget film. I mean come on. We live in 21st century and you actually believe that some three retarded men can slaughter so many people in the middle of some town and get away with it? How can you make a film like this? There were guns, cars and everything else and yet they all died. BS. History also repeats again and there's not a drop of realism in what is filmed. Personally, I think the money spent on shooting this thing are thrown away and honestly I'm so sorry for wasting almost two hours of my life watching this "movie". My advice: Not worth your money, you will definitely be disappointed!

I have never felt compelled to write a review before, but I must say this was probably one of the worst movies I have seen.

The movie should be marketed as a success model for the mentally handicapped, because seemingly mentally deficient psychopaths can some how overcome normal individuals who suddenly lose all reason to the simple traps somehow devised by the the mentally challenged.

Not mention the incredibly horrible acting of individuals whom are able to capture the essence of a fish wriggling out of water by their strange convulsions, but are unable to convey the excruciating pain of of being dismembered or taking sharp object to their body.

Go into watching this movie with a low expectation and you wont be disappointing.

"Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines" is the fifth and I hope the last movie of the Wrong Turn series and in this one we have again about the same in which some students who are on a trip for Mountain man Festival on Halloween when they encounter a group of cannibals who they want to to save their cousin from jail.

When I learned that it came out a new Wrong Turn movie I was expecting a really low and bad movie and that it was. I believe that this movie is the worst movie of the Wrong Turn series. The plot was not good and the actors interpretations were really bad.

Finally I wish this movie to be the last one from this series because I think that this series it does not have any more to give us.

Let me just start by saying i'm a massive fan of horror franchises. Wrong Turn may not be the best, but it's my guilty pleasure.

Personally i hope they continue to make these, they're fun and thus far always contain some good gore and a few cheap laughs!

This film is a great improvement on both three, and four. It seems like they've committed a much larger budget to this one than the fourth. There's one or two recognizable names. It does contain some poor acting, but on the whole it's a lot stronger than the acting in the fourth.

The kills are a lot better in this one, one kill in particular was amazing!!!

I'd suggest you watch this film if you're a fan of gory horror, you will be satisfied. However if you're looking for a thought provoking film with a high budget, a great story line and solid acting and expect it from this movie, well you're an idiot.

I don't understand how people making movies don't seek to improve things over time rather than adopting the mindset of other industries that seeks to make every new product cheaper and cheaper. Wrong Turn 3 and 4 were steps in the right direction, giving us a horror franchise with a lot of potential.

Wrong Turn 5 is a step in the wrong direction with an low budget and almost no attempt at telling a story. Some small town in Kentucky had its entire population disappear centuries ago. Now, kids celebrate a festival there every year that's a mixture of concert, wild free spirit and Halloween. But that's just the background and none of that is shown. Instead we focus on 5 kids about whom we learn almost nothing. They like drugs and are on their way to the festival when they crash their car and almost run over some old guy. We've met the old guy earlier. He adopted and supports the cannibal hillbillies.

As a result of the accident they all end up in jail. The driver who has a rich daddy admits the drugs found were his so all the other kids are released. The old guy is a wanted felon on the run and he knows and keeps announcing that his boys will come to free him. The sheriff in charge is some wanna-be tough chick. Her deputies are getting killed in the meantime by the hillbillies, although we never find out the fate of one of them.

And indeed the hillbillies cut all the power, of course, so most of the movie is at night and in the dark; and start killing their way to the jail, although the town is pretty much a ghost town now with everybody and their mother at the festival. From there everything goes by the numbers.

Wrong Turn 5 was filmed in Eastern Europe but little effort was made to make it look like the US. Most of the movie takes place in some cardboard town intersection. The kids aren't particularly interesting or likable. All we know is that the big guy is so in love with his successful college graduating girlfriend and so desperate to keep her from leaving him that he proposes to her. We learn nothing new about the hillbillies either. And this time around they don't look particularly scary. The make up makes them look more neanderthalish than monstrous. One of them even looks and acts somewhat feminine. The death scenes are pretty good though and so are the special effects. There's also some nudity and sex scenes, but there's a frustrating shower scene with the prettiest girl that never materializes. Why? What keeps this movie from being a letdown though is Doug Bradley. It's so good to see him again. He gives spectacular performance. But again, we learn little about his character. What is he all about, what about his past? The subtitle "Bloodline" doesn't refer to anything really, other than Bradley and Hellraiser IV. Nothing is made of the mythology surrounding the town either. The cover of the DVD is deceptive, none of the two images correspond to anything that takes place in the movie. Finally, there is no sense of dread in this movie whatsoever. If I had any say in the development of part 6, I'd focus the story on the Bradley character, bring another writer on board and keep the good things that this franchise has: nudity, violence, gore.

Honestly I hated this movie, and I'm into sick twisted films but this was just horrible. If you have seen Wrong Turn 1,2,3 and 4 just stick with those, I thought Wrong Turn 1 & 2 were great but the 3rd one 4th and 5th one were just awful. I'm not going to lie though, of course I did like some of the death scenes cause they were intense but at the same time it's like "Really now that's just... well... whatever just continue on with this darn movie" sorry if I sound kinda stupid and but that's the way I felt, I will not spoil anything but if you really wanna know how this movie is, just look at reviews or something don't bother watching it and wasting your time. Me before watching Wrong Turn 5:Blood lines "Huh why does this have a bad rating it can't be that bad maybe I should give it a chance" 1 hour and 26 minutes later "Son of a b*ch <--(Can't swear on here) I just wasted my time like on 3 and 4, how could they end it like that god forbid there's going to be a 6th one unless they end the Wrong Turn series by killing every single inbred f**k in the movie... sh*t 5:00am should of bought Taken... I guess next time" that's how I felt, thanks for reading this.
