Wrong Turn 5 - Bagno di sangue

When the original Wrong Turn hit theaters, who would have thought it would have spawned 4 sequels? Ask any horror fan and they aren't surprised as this series has everything needed for a franchise. The last entry went back to deliver a prequel story and worked pretty well. The latest entry Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines plays as a sequel to part 4 continuing on the prequel storyline.

Wrong Turn 5 follows a group of college kids visiting a small town for the Mountain Man Festival, but their thoughts of fun are thwarted quickly when a family of inbred cannibals unleash and onslaught of violence to get back one of their own. Much like every film series this one has had its ups and downs, but one thing you can always count on is the excessive gore and nudity. This entry sticks to the formula and has no shortage in the gore department sporting some creative and graphic kills. The story itself is pretty simple and works, but felt a bit forced. Maybe it was due to the last entry working so unexpectedly well, but this one felt a bit lower budget. The acting is pretty bad to average throughout which is really no surprise, with the exception of Hellraiser's own Doug Bradley stepping in to lead the charge. He gives this film the missing punch to help keep it limping along without completely falling apart. The make-up job on the cannibal brothers looked pretty bad this time around and could be the biggest issue taking away the creepy realism that it needed to work on a bigger scale.

Clearly this is far from a perfect film, but in these types of films you expect certain things, killing, gore, and nudity and it delivers. If you enjoyed any of the other films in the series or just the rage of cannibalistic hillbillies then you will surely have a fun time with this movie.

"Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines" is the fifth and I hope the last movie of the Wrong Turn series and in this one we have again about the same in which some students who are on a trip for Mountain man Festival on Halloween when they encounter a group of cannibals who they want to to save their cousin from jail.

When I learned that it came out a new Wrong Turn movie I was expecting a really low and bad movie and that it was. I believe that this movie is the worst movie of the Wrong Turn series. The plot was not good and the actors interpretations were really bad.

Finally I wish this movie to be the last one from this series because I think that this series it does not have any more to give us.

"Wrong Turn 5" continues the slasher tradition made by the previous four movies, but this time around the slashing is not just limited to the characters. The budget for this movie was slashed as well. Although the production travelled to Bulgaria to film in order to cut costs, the movie looks real cheap in a number of aspects. The town's street scenes are obviously a studio back lot, the interior rooms are very obviously sets, and the make-up for the hillbilly killers looks especially cheesy.

Further problems can be found in the screenplay. There are a number of plot issues that are murky or are simply not explained at all. The characters also do some really dumb things that I think even real people who are not highly intelligent would do.

As for the ingredients you expect in a movie like this - sex/nudity and gore - well, I admit the movie does score some points in these categories. There's gratuitous sex, and the gory moments get especially squishy at times. That stuff is certainly welcome, but I think even die hard slasher fans will admit that apart from that stuff, the movie doesn't really have that much else to offer that's positive. You'd be better off skipping this entry of the series and putting part 2 back in your DVD player for another run.

In Fairlake, West Virginia, there is a festival during the Halloween called Mountain Man Festival. A group of college students hits the patriarch Maynard (Doug Bradley) of a hillbilly cannibal family on the road and they are arrested with Maynard by Sheriff Angela (Camilla Arfwedson). Soon his boys assault the Sheriff Station in a night of crime spree.

"Wrong Turn 5" is a stupid, annoying and unfunny collection of clichés. The characters are irritating and take the most imbecile attitude as possible. The town has a festival but it seems to be a ghost town. The story might have worked with humor, but the heavy hand of director Declan O'Brien makes a forgettable garbage. My vote is one (awful).

Title (Brazil): "Pânico na Floresta 5" ("Panic in the Florest 5")

... for becoming an actor myself. I have no skill set whatsoever, have never acted before or starred in anything besides my own life..., i even was unable to play a rock in our pre-school play because i just don't have it in me. But still, i am confident and straight-forward in saying that this movie assures me of my future career as an actor. Please, directors or whoever fills his days with this crap, contact me to perform in the next Wrong Turn and it will be at least more successful then this one...

No... Really... I almost vomited at the acting job... And i'm used to drinking whisky from the bottle...
