Classic horror movies have some prominent themes. One of the most common ones is to take a wrong turn for whatever reason and suddenly find yourself lost in the middle of nowhere. My preference for a desolate area is either outer space or a forested area where access is difficult.
I think in both cases escape is quite difficult, so I can enjoy the adventure and the fear of the unknown.
The adventure of Wrong Turn begins when Chris (played by Desmond Harrington) decides to take a shortcut to escape a traffic jam.
I must say that I liked the movie, even though I found it a classic, because of the fact that there are others who have the same idea and that the position of prey and predator is constantly shifting.
Both in terms of location and the way deformed people are incorporated into the story, the momentum of the story goes up. The fluency and the development of the characters do not fall below mediocre. In fact, the development of the characters from prey to predator proves what a person can become when the circumstances force them to do so.
While the story progresses as a mixture of a simple road adventure and a teen movie until we encounter the deformed groups of people living in the forest, the deformed group that suddenly appears and the way it kills the people it targets; creates a tense atmosphere and slowly imposes fear.
As the main character, Cris stands out as the one who starts and sort of ends the story. Desmond Harrington, who brings the character to life, does a good job in terms of both instilling fear and the development he shows. The actor contributes to the fluidity of the movie and keeps the adventure and excitement alive with the chase scenes.
But I must say that it is the mutant characters in the jungle that give the movie its real fear and tension. These physically deformed people are the main source of the fear created in the story and they take on the aspect of fear and tension.
From the beginning to the end, the movie manages to convey the tension and excitement to the audience. I think that especially the theme of misdirection is used quite successfully in this movie because the scenes of getting lost in the forest and encountering deformed people make the story quite realistic.
I can say that there are some gaps in the movie. Although an “auto scrap graveyard” was created from their vehicles in an area where hundreds of misguided people disappeared and the mutant characters live in a house on the side of the road, there is no satisfactory justification for their mystery for years...
...but I suggest that those who are thinking of watching the movie should keep themselves away from such questions because the positives of the movie far outweigh the negatives.
I recommend you to watch Wrong Turn with its tense atmosphere, impressive practical effects and gripping pace. It offers the viewing pleasure that can satisfy those who love the thriller and horror genre. With its classic theme, it also offers the chance to make comparisons between movies with similar themes.

I'm not pro-horror movies, but the description of this film is somewhat intriguing. If it's anything like walking dead, then I would enjoy it.
Have you seen the film, walking dead? Is this anything like it?
Yes, I have seen it, but this is not one of them and the stories are quite different.
