I like Wrong Turn for what it is: a tribute to (or ripoff of, if you prefer) 'backwoods horror' films of the 70's and 80's such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, Just Before Dawn, Hunter's Blood, Rituals and, of course, Deliverance. There are some good chase scenes and scary looking villains (though they're shown too often) and, yeah, a few good looking women, but the film lacks the atmosphere of those earlier classics and it succumbs to every cliche in the genre. Worth seeing though. Not surprisingly, the sequels are mostly rubbish.
