Released in 2003, Wrong Turn is a thrilling horror film that takes viewers on a terrifying ride deep into the remote forests of West Virginia. Directed by Rob Schmidt and written by Alan B. McElroy, this film introduces a group of unfortunate travelers who find themselves hunted by a family of cannibalistic mutants. Packed with intense suspense, gruesome kills, and edge-of-your-seat tension, Wrong Turn quickly became a cult classic among horror fans, spawning a successful franchise in the years that followed.

The story begins when Chris Flynn (played by Desmond Harrington) takes a detour off the main highway while driving through rural West Virginia to avoid a traffic jam. After colliding with another car whose passengers had also been led astray by poor directions, they quickly realize that something far more sinister is lurking in the woods. The group, consisting of Chris and a group of young campers—Jessie (Eliza Dushku), Carly (Emmanuelle Chriqui), Scott (Jeremy Sisto), Evan (Kevin Zegers), and Francine (Lindy Booth)—embark on a desperate attempt to survive as they are hunted by a family of deformed, inbred mutants with a taste for human flesh.
