Wrong Turn (I) (2003)

Wrong Turn

Warning: Spoilers
Chris Flynn is late for a meeting and so he decides to take a short cut, but he ends up crashing into another car and now both sets of passengers on either car are stranded in the woods, as they go exploring, they find a cabin, home to cannibals.

It's nothing original, its the updated version of 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', but I will try to speak about the positives...I'm not the horror type...But, I found this film bearable, the opening was brilliant, the beautiful shots of the wonderful landscapes and then the build up to what lies in the cabin, in the dark part of the woods.

Eliza Dusku (Faith from Buffy) takes on a role, not quite so different to Faith, but at the same time, not so similar, her performance is satisfactory, while Emmanulla Chriqui, I don't know...I just found her irritating, and expected her to perish at the hands of the killers much earlier...But, to my disappointment, that did not happen. And then we have Desmond Harrington, his acting just seems to revolve around smouldering, like his role on Dexter as 'Quinn'..But I still find the guy watchable, he's just has the 'cool' factor.

Watchable, but nothing spectacular.
