Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort (2014)

Not even bad in a good way

Absolutely Fantastic

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

A sudden and mysterious inheritance brings Danny and his friends to Hobb Springs, a forgotten resort deep in the West Virginia hills. Hobb Springs is being looked after under the watchful care of Jackson and Sally. Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort is just as stupid, disgusting and horrendous as the last few sequels have been since the original plus the dumb cannibals are being controlled by a dumb teenager so that's smart and we've never seen that before right? This movies get worse and worse with each sequel and if a 7th one gets made? It will do the same.

Danny (Anthony Ilott) unexpectedly inherits the Hobbs Springs Hotel and is eager to meet family he has never know. He takes along with him a group of victims, er ah friends. Seems Danny has been brought back to take over the hotel for the fine young cannibals and to preserve the purity of the blood line to the dismay of his girl friend (Aqueela Zoll).What's to say? I liked #4 the best especially the opening classical music scene which they have failed to top. This is 80's style slasher, naked girls, kill them in different ways, and eat the body parts. "Fun is the kind of therapy we all need."The town has a board full of missing people and a puppy. This film sets up for what could be a great sequel if they got some writers.F-bomb, sex, nudity (Aqueela Zoll, Sadie Katz, Roxanne Pallett, Talitha Luke-Eardley)

Judging from my other reviews, you would not think that horror films would be my thing, especially very gory ones. Actually aim to have a diverse taste in film, so seeing films from all decades and genres with no bias intended. Plus have seen my fair share of horror franchises where at least one film has been good.While neither of the first two 'Wrong Turn' films were perfect or great, they were fun and effectively creepy films with a lot to recommend. The series went seriously downhill from the third film onward, with the fifth film being especially bad. In 'Bloody Beginnings', 'Bloodlines' and this, the flaws from 'Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead' are exactly the same, amplified and then more are made on the way while not having either thing that stopped the third film from being worse. Before anybody says anything, despite the series going so drastically downhill they were all seen because every film in a film series deserves a chance regardless of critical consensus.Only Sadie Katz is anything close to acceptable, she is alluring and actually looks like she's trying. Like Camilla Arfwedson in 'Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines' however, everything else however is done so amateurishly that all her valiant efforts seem a waste.The rest of the acting is a disgrace, there was a sense that nobody was even trying and it was painful to watch. The only things the cast succeed in doing is accentuating that their very sketchily developed characters are either bland, obnoxious or both and impossible to care for. Especially when their behaviour throughout is just so stupid and illogical. The script is the cheesiest, most stilted and most cliché-ridden of all six films.Story is both derivative and takes simplicity to extremes, and ruins it further by failing to bring any kind of atmosphere to any of the components, just a lot of cheesy and predictable death scenes with lots of gratuitous gore that makes anything meant to resemble tension or terror feel nauseating or unintentionally funny. There is none of what made the first two films work, everything is just too cheap, too safe, too predictable and too clean. It had a decent premise to work from, but starts dull, un-scary and dumb and stays like that all the way instead of doing the thankful 180 that the second film did.Visually, there is nothing slick, professional, inventive or atmospheric here, slipshod is a better word for it. The effects are not as bad as in films 3-5 but are still pretty cheap. The direction has no personality or professionalism of any kind, there isn't a sense of understanding the genre or how to overcome a less than lavish budget.In conclusion, really bad. 1/10 Bethany Cox

First and foremost I am a huge fan of B-movie horror. I am especially quite a fan of slasher/cannibal/human nature type movies. Acting is never my first priority with these types of film. Rather I look at content and pace. And of course, especially with these types of movies, gore and sexuality/nudity. So I must admit I was thoroughly pleased with Wrong Turn 6. Absolutely my favorite of the series. I especially love that we find out the how and why of the inbreeding. Also we are given a story that allows us plenty of gory deaths and sexual situations. It even throws in a curve ball. Just when you think the lead actor will escape or turn away from the clan, he doesn't. No, he embraces it. And in turn consummates with his awesomely hot sister. A must watch movie in my opinion. Oh, if only they all delivered as well as this one did.
