Please end this lame garbage now...
Someone else said this is one of the weaker entries in the series... I laugh as this since they've all been weak trash. It's like they take the same script, change the location and a few of the murders (lets face it, all anyone watches these for is the murder and breasts - don't deny it). Of course they're back to the same three morons - inbred fools who still haven't explained why they're cannibals. At least in the Hills Have Eyes, those inbreds are living in the desert. Less things to eat. This is the worst and cheapest of these films and once again - no one survives except the damn cannibals. I hope they end the next one they way I wished they'd ended the Friday the 13th's. Just nuke the entire area. If the damn inbreds survive that - make them all President. Can't be much worse than who we already have. I'm done by the way. If they make another - I'm not watching it. NOT!
A bloodline that has been sucked of any blood
Personally quite enjoyed the first two 'Wrong Turn' films, they weren't perfect or great but had a lot to recommend. Hated 'Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead', with the exceptions of two small things. Hated even more 'Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings', a prequel detailing the hillbillies' origins that just came over as completely pointless with nothing interesting to say and was just badly executed as a film. The same goes for 'Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines'. It's like the fourth film, it makes exactly the same flaws as the third film, amplifies them and makes more on the way while not having either thing that stopped that film from being worse.
Camilla Arfwedson is the sole reason 'Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines' gets any stars at all, she is the only actor who tries to give a halfway OK performance and the only asset where any effort is evident. Everything else however is done so amateurishly that all her valiant efforts seem a waste.
The rest of the acting is a disgrace, there was a sense that nobody was even trying and it was painful to watch. The only things the cast succeed in doing is accentuating that their very sketchily developed characters are either bland, obnoxious or both and impossible to care for. Especially when their behaviour throughout is just so stupid and illogical. The script continues to be cheesy, awkward and cliché-ridden.
Story is both derivative and takes simplicity to extremes, and ruins it further by failing to bring any kind of atmosphere to any of the components, just a lot of cheesy death scenes with lots of gratuitous gore that makes anything meant to resemble tension or terror feel nauseating or unintentionally funny. There is none of what made the first two films work, everything is just too cheap, too safe, too predictable and too clean. It had a decent premise to work from, but starts dull, un-scary and dumb and stays like that all the way instead of doing the thankful 180 that the second film did.
In conclusion, falls completely flat in nearly every way possible with the sole halfway OK asset outdone by the rest of the film being an intelligence-insulting mess. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Braindead but OK
When you miss with a shotgun from 1 meter away....the rednecks are dumb, but the city people are even dumber. I loved the first movie, but this is a low budget movie. Its more like a slasher movie, than horror. I give it 5/10 stars because its OK to watch a braindead movie sometimes :)
