Wrong Turn: 5 Bloodlines may be the dumbest film of the entire franchise, or the cheapest, I can't tell. Set in the fictional town of Fairlake, WV (a town that was once wiped out by hill people) during a fictional Mountain Man music fest on Halloween, a group of friends end up entangled with the Hillicker cannibal mutant brothers and their new pal, serial killer Maynard Odets. Maynard causes the kids to wreck the car and everyone ends up arrested and in jail. The three mutant brothers knock out the power and cell towers to the town and commit some grisly murders in order to help Maynard escape. A brief cameo by Ser Loras Tyrell from Game of Thrones (as well as a bigger role from the khaleesi's handmaiden Doreah) almost make things interesting. Other highlights include electrocuted security guard, Three Fingers feeding a girl her intestines to a soothing guitar solo, one victim getting buried up to his neck in a soccer field before he and his friend get ground up by a tractor, some classic drawn and quartered numbers, shots to the face or burned alive traps, you know, the usual. The movie finally hit a boredom threshold and I could barely hang on. Especially annoying was the fake downtown with zero people despite a massive fest going on. Easily the worst of the series from my perspective, and maybe the dumbest ending of any of them. 3 eyes poked out of socket out of 10.
