DON'T go in the Woods!!! A simple rule in horror films, especially if you are a good looking teen. But alas, a juicy horror flick just wouldn't be right without a group of teens breaking a few laws of horror-dom. Wrong Turn is about a young guy named Chris, driving fast and furious to get a job interview in North Carolina. Unfortunately, he finds himself stuck in traffic behind an accident on a long stretch of West Virginia highway.

  • Chris, played by Desmond Harrington (Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, Ghost Ship, and Steven Spielberg's awesome sci-fi mini series - Taken)

Then, as the title aptly reminds us, Chris sees a way out of the traffic jam, and pulls onto a dirt road. It is here Chris meets a group of 5 young folk ... by smashing into the backside of their car. You see, this group got stuck in these dark woods a little earlier that day, when their tires were blown out by some strategically placed barb wire on the road.

  • Jesse, played by Eliza Dushku (True Lies, Soul Survivors, and best known for role as Faith in Buffy the Vampire and spin-off Angel television series)
  • Scott, played by Jeremy Sisto (Dean R. Koontz's Hideaway, and the title role in upcoming TNT mini series, Caesar)
  • Carly, played by Emmanuelle Chriqui (Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County, Future Sport, Ricky 6 and next year's The Crow: Wicked Prayer - number 4 of the film series)
  • Evan, played by Kevin Zegers (John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness, Specimen, Bram Stoker's Shadowbuilder, and Fear of the Dark)
  • Francine, played by Lindy Booth (genre television series - Eerie, Indiana: The Other Dimension, Relic Hunter and Odyssey 5 - plus, Teenage Space Vampires and American Psycho 2)

OK, so your tires are blown out, and some moron has just smashed into your car, stranding on a lonely, dusty road ... what should you do? Why split up and find a phone in the woods , of course! And where else should a phone be found in the middle of the woods ... a creepy cabin, of course!! I guess these are the very last 6 teens on the planet that don't carry a cellphone.

Now, the infamous pig squealing' scene in the classic film, Deliverance, is pretty damn scary. So, what could be worse than two inbred, mountain men rapists? Why 3 inbred and rather deformed, backwoods cannibals, of course!!!

  • One Eye - Ted Clark (Happy Hell Night)
  • Sawtooth - Garry Robbins (Humongus, John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness)
  • Three Finger - Julian Richings (television series War of the Worlds, Highlander: The Raven and Amazon, plus David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch, Mimic, Cube, Urban Legend and the upcoming fantasy film on TNT - Prince Charming)

Let the Hunt begin!

Release Date: May 30th, 2003

The official web site is notably lacking a trailer (the 2 scuttlebutt's are that they are saving previews for Buffy, The Vampire Slayer final episodes - or - that the trailers were created, but too intense to show), but there are photos and info:
