Wrong Turn (2021)

This reboot of Wrong Turn is a lot like the reboot of Child's Play from a couple of years ago in that it has nothing whatsoever to do with the original. It's a 100% standalone movie that only has the name in common with the original franchise. They could have called it Lost in the Woods or something and it wouldn't have changed anything. Gone are the crazy cannibals with messed up faces. This Wrong Turn gives us perfectly normal people who just like to live off the grid. And not one of them is Three Finger. They're just regular people tryna live their life. This is the reason this Wrong Turn didn't land well with horror fans. It's only natural to compare a reboot to its original and totally understandable to get upset when it pulls the 'ol bait-n-switch and gives you some random new story.

Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort, the previous Wrong Turn from 2014, had little semblance to the rest of the franchise. It got weird and became a movie about teens and cults. So I wasn't actually expecting this new Wrong Turn to have any semblance either. They already turned the corner back then and there's already been a precedent set for reboots to just lease a franchise name to slap on their own unrelated movies.
This Wrong Turn is about a group of friends who go hiking deep in the Appalachians and find a culty commune of Old South holdouts. One of the holdouts gets killed and the friends go on trial for the crime. The commune's court is in a cave, there's torches, everyone's in robes. It's weird. The friends get "convicted" of the crime, face a super harsh penalty and try to escape. This is when the backwoods chase begins.
