Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort (2014) Reviews

• Not that great...

  edie_wojciechowski2014-10-13

  A lot of sex and some gore doesn't make this a good movie. You can see clearly that the budget of this one was pretty much the same as part 3, 4 and 5. A lot of unknown and not really great English actors and actress. I think the story was too much over the top, Declan, the director of the previous three parts, just let the story simple (how the original also was). I love boobs, of course, but the nudity in this one is just too much and adds nothing to the story. Some special effects are nice, but really nothing more than that. If you like part 3, 4 and 5 you probably like this one too. But not really something for me.

• Takes a promising premise and butchers its execution.

  The fact that Wrong Turn became a franchise in the first place is baffling, not that I'm complaining. The original was essentially The Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets The Hills Have Eyes, and it was great for what it was, but hardly original enough to warrant the franchise treatment. Then it got an action-packed, direct-to-video sequel featuring Henry Rollins kicking all sorts of inbred cannibal ass, and it was awesome. Then the sequels kept coming and coming; Wrong Turn 4 has some merit in its own trashy sort of way, but 3 and 5 are among the worst "films" ever made. So going into Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort, you know not to expect top shelf cinema. But at the very least, you hope for some camp value, gratuitous nudity, and brutal kills. Wrong Turn 6 tries something unique to the franchise, though: a psychological angle. It's a story about a guy who inherits a large mansion from an unknown relative, and the mansion turns out to be the home and breeding grounds for the grotesque inbred cannibals we've come to know and love. The psychological aspect comes into play with the mansion's caretakers, distant relatives to the protagonist, and how they gradually lure him away from the reality that he once knew, represented by his oblivious group of friends, and eventually seduce him into their demented family culture. It's quite disturbing actually, and there are plenty of wince-inducing scenes here. The problem is the writing, directing, and acting - the bare necessities for a good film. The dialogue is horrendous; sadly, not in a so-bad-it's-funny sort of way. Things aren't much better acting-wise. It's not like great actors could have done much with a script like this, but these people are so unconvincing in their performances that the dialogue-driven scenes become downright aggravating to sit through. The sole exception is Sadie Katz as the caretaker Sally, who gives an unsettlingly sensual conviction to her character. She's by far the most alluring part of the film and deserves props for adding some credibility to the otherwise irredeemably bland cast. In regards to the directing, it can feel like you're watching a soft-core porn in one scene and then a graphic, torture-porn ridden snuff film in another. This may be due to the writing, but there's not even an attempt at building suspense. It just transitions from scene to scene with no regard to consistency in tone, pacing, or atmosphere; until finally, the movie ends. Again, there are admittedly great ideas buried under the disastrous execution. The plot is a nice change of pace for the series, the deaths are gruesome, and the ending is no doubt unnerving. Sadly, Wrong Turn 6 is bereft of production value, and the subject matter is too bleak to be enjoyed in a campy, fun way. It's a dreary exercise in gratuity; from the glorious nudity to the grisly gore, it's all shock and no awe. If you've seen the previous five installments, you might as well watch this one - it's a hell of a lot better than 5. But don't go in hoping for a return to the schlocky entertainment value of 2 or the genuine terror of the original because you sure as hell won't find either in Wrong Turn 6.

• Where did the storyline go?

  Landkrabben2014-10-15

  A pretty bad movie. Nothing more. I am a big fan of the series, number 1 was my absolute favorite, i like the prequel they started in number 4 but number 5 was weird but still made sense in the "storyline" of the other films. But what the hell is up with this one? It does not make any sense what so ever, it has absolutely nothing to do with the previous movies other than the 3 inbred brothers. It pisses me of, but i hope they are putting more sense to it in the 7th movie and explains what exactly was going on in this one. A random guy who inherit a hotel and is somehow related to the 3 brothers, a small "town" in the middle of the woods with a whole bunch of inbreeds and a weird and creepy brother and sister running the hotel. But where the hell has their dad gone? I was hoping this would tie the prequels together with the original trilogy somehow like the last "final destination" maybe the ending could have been the brothers view from the opening scene at the 1st one with the mountaineering. But no we just get a movie that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest.

• Worst of the 6 Parts !!!

  aliszlanta2014-10-17

  This is the worst part of all the wrong turn parts . This part is all about porn porn porn . I think that the wrong turn series should be put to an end here as it is getting pathetic after each series . The characters / actors in the movie are completely rubbish , none of them know how to act ... the plot itself is tedious and there is no interest in any scene . I was a huge fan of Wrong urn series but now i will stop watching this crap .... Even the direction of this film is not good ..... There is 1 idiot in the movie who always has a camera with him and by the end of the movie we understand that the guy was as useless as his camera and there is no connection of it in the movie ... GOOD BYEEE WONGR TURN Series .. You lost a Fan . Ratings = 0/10

• This is a series that didn't need one sequel let alone 5, but if you have seen the others then you might at well watch this one.

  "I want to meet these people and find out what I'm all about." Danny (Iloot) has just found out that that he has inherited a mysterious resort in West Virginia. Him and his friends decide to take the trip to see what he has. When they arrive they meet Jackson and Sally (Katz) who claim to be his relatives. What starts out as an exciting new adventure take a deadly turn when family secrets are revealed. So...what can I say about Wrong Turn 6? If you have seen the others then you will know what to expect from this. There is a lot of gore and cannibalism. So if that is your thing then you will love this. When most horror franchises get into the 5th and 6th movies they turn more comedic. This one hasn't done that yet, I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. What I do know is that this is a series that didn't need one sequel let alone 5. Overall, if you have seen the others then you might at well watch this one. I give this a C-.
