Saturday is Horror Day #122 - Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead

 Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead


A relaxing rafting trip goes horribly wrong for two couples when they are set upon by the same inbred crazies from the first two films. The only survivor is Alex (Janet Montgomery) who manages to bolt into the woods, panic stricken, and evade capture.








A group of convicts is about to be transferred to another prison, when the warden receives word that there will be an attempted ambush and freeing of the prisoners by the gang members still on the outside. In order to outsmart those plans, the transfer is scheduled for a week earlier than planned, and will take a different route. Unfortunately, the new route will take them into the remote backwoods of West Virginia, and... well, you can guess the rest. The convict bus gets into an accident after being hit by a tow driven by the mutant called Three Finger (Borislav Iliev). The policeman who is accompanying them and the corrections officer have no choice but to free the prisoners from the back of the burning van, making sure they are safely chained together.



So, here we go again. Same mutants, new sacrifices. If you thought the second one was bad, I hate to say it but this one is worse. Everything sucks. Writing, directing, acting. No Henry Rollins to save the day. They even divested the film of the camp which was what made the first one and attempted to save the second one. This one is supposed to be a taut thriller with gore. It fails miserably. Except for the gore.

Even the mutants don't seem too excited to be there. Makes you wonder if they're cannibals, what do they eat when people don't stumble into their little corner of the world? At any rate, this one sucked. I'm going to give it .5 Stars just because there was a small attempt at making the traps innovative and horrifying. My advice is to steer clear. Hopefully the next one will possess some redeeming qualities, but I am not holding my breath on that.
