Spoiler**, Spoiler**
At last I was able to see this movie after reading a lot of reviews. I really enjoy it because I am a fan of suspense/thriller movies. I did not see much gore, as many people have written here, although there are some scenes that might be difficult to be watched by some people. I think that the scene where the dead body of Francine lies on the table with her leg and arm chopped off might be disturbing for some people. The scene where Carly's head is cut off by an ax is not that gory, although the close up in her eyes while the pupil is dilating might be shocking for some people. The scene where the trooper's eye was blew out by the arrow was cool. It was like a roller coaster.
In general. the movie was good in terms of action and suspense. The acting was OK. There were some things that were hard to believe, though. For example: Chris received a shot in his leg almost at the beginning of the movie. I'm not sure if the bullet was inside his leg, or it was just a scratch, but he ran pretty well, and was able to climb the trees. How come the people in the surroundings were not aware of the inbreed presence? Didn't they have to look for gas or some other stuff to live? I guess that these guys were the old guy's client, who supplied all their needs, but I guess with all these missing persons, the local authorities should suspect of something. Finally, when Jessie jump to the tree, she hit the branch with her stomach. I think that with a hit like that nobody will be able to grab a branch and start walking on it as if nothing had happened.
The inbreeds were not as creepy as they look in the trailer, and I did not like the constant laughter of "three finger". It took out part of the suspense and the horror of the film. The idea of not not having them speaking as human beings was great. It gave more mystery to their existence.
Finally, thank GOD that the scene where Chris and Jessie were kissing each other in the waterfall was deleted. How come two persons in the middle of nowhere, chased by three maniacs, and after watching all these people being killed can think about a french kiss?? Only in a soap opera.
Well, before I saw Wrong Turn I did not expect to watch an Oscar nominated movie, but a one full of suspense and action that would made me jump once in a while from my seat, and this is what I got. This is why I will give this movie 8 out of 10.
