The phrase “take a hike” has its own sense of terror and menace when associated with the Wrong Turn horror franchise: a series of six films about dumb, sexy teens getting lost during a camping trip and ending up as some deformed forest cannibal’s dinner.
In this 2021 reboot of the series, the nightmare-hike-gone-wrong is taken to a whole new level. Check out the below trailer for the film, which was written by franchise creator Alan. B McElroy and directed by Mike P. Nelson.
This reimagining of that archetypal ol’ Wrong Turn story has been updated for our times, replete with a creepy child singing America (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee) and enough staccato editing moments to give you whiplash.
Gore-hounds and haters of the great outdoors alike can see Wrong Turn in cinemas right now, as the horror reboot is playing in IRL cinemas all over the country. Click, if you dare, the below link to sort out your own passes to this ghoulish camping trip.
As the trailer above points out, it’s now 2021, and curious teens “still haven’t learned” not to go into them shadowy, psycho-filled woods. And I couldn’t be happier. Head to a cinema near you now to get in on the carnage.
