Wrong Turn was a surprise horror-what-happens-next thriller that kept me engrossed through out with few scenes giving me some chilling moments.

Chris is running late for his job interview as he travels through highway to reach the destination. To his dismay , highway has been blocked due to some road accident which makes him turn to different mud- ridden road for which he has to go through deep forest area. His day turns worst when he meets another group of people who are trapped in the jungle and slowly gets hacked to death one by one by bunch of man-eating cannibals. Together , must pave their way out of jungle before they get eaten by the merciless cannibals. 

Directed by Rob Schmidt , Wrong Turn was released in 2003 and had no big names attached to it. However , this turned out to be a surprise slasher movie that will give a chill running down your spine. Right from the beginning of the film till the end , it grabs your attention in every frame. Some scenes do stand out like the one when Chris and Jessie hide themselves underneath the bed and one of the cannibal is trying to find his bullet dropped from the gun. I like the scene where they jump from the tower into tree and camouflage themselves. Direction is good along with good performances. Screenplay is tight. Cinematography is eye grabbing capturing the essence of the mountain area. Performance by the star cast is nice. Emanuelle Chriqui is ridiculously gorgeous.

Overall , a very good fright flick that you may wanna catch up if you wanna get scared.
