Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: Schmidt makes us flinch the old-fashioned way -- by giving us a box seat to the unspeakable. Read more
Scott Von Doviak, Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com: This sleazy slice of hicksploitation features a band of inbred mountain men so monstrous and foul, they make the toothless hillbillies of Deliverance look like the Vienna Boys Choir. Read more
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: While this movie doesn't have the warped sensibilities of 1977's similarly plotted The Hills Have Eyes, it has decent performances and genuine suspense. Read more
Kevin M. Williams, Chicago Tribune: The sole saving grace of Wrong Turn is its honesty. You get exactly what you expect -- blood, guts and people being taken to the killing floor. But just because it's honest doesn't make it good. Read more
Anita Gates, New York Times: Lazy would-be horror film. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: A stultifying blend of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, boot camp, and maybe The Blair Witch Project, Wrong Turn is profoundly less than the sum of its influences. Read more
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: Suffers a fate similar to that of many other horror and supernatural thrillers released in the last decade: It leaves you with the feeling that you're watching an episode of The X-Files, only Mulder and Scully never show up. Read more
Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly: A blood-simple backwoods spatterfest that makes shameless use of the same old antirural moonshine Hollywood's been bootlegging for decades. Read more
Gary Dowell, Dallas Morning News: To call Wrong Turn tedious and uninspired is to be kind. Read more
Mark Olsen, L.A. Weekly: This self-styled throwback to the down-and-dirty horror films of the 1970s and '80s never delivers what it definitely promises. Read more
C.W. Nevius, San Francisco Chronicle: The plot unfolds like a slasher-by -the-numbers kit. Read more
