Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort is an apt title for a franchise about to give up on its iconic mutant cannibal brothers. But before I get too far into it, I would like to point out that Wrong Turns 3, 5 and 6 do not feature any actual "wrong turns" like the other movies. Essentially you're traveling somewhere and get lost and end up dead, except in these three films no one takes the wrong fork in the road. I mean, even the kids in the first Wrong Turn knew they were taking a shortcut, and maybe the films should have been called DEADLY SHORTCUT or something.
Anyway, at this part in our story, we're still a sequel to Wrong Turn 4 and 5, but also a prequel before the original Wrong Turn. Got it? The Hillicker brothers (Three Fingers, Saw Tooth and One Eye) all now live in an old, family owned resort (and secret sex ritual spa) with their non-deformed cousins, Bryan and Jillian Hillicker, who also need another Hillicker to keep the bloodline pure. Enter Danny, a cousin and his two carloads of big city friends, who thinks he is inheriting the resort. Well eventually most everyone gets killed dead in a grisly fashion, including one death by firehose up the butt. When Danny finds out he needs to breed with his cousin to keep this large hidden clan of inbred mountain people going, you'd think he'd be running away, but he's way into it. Danny lets Three Fingers kill his girlfriend and ends up running the place. And... Scene. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me but this is the last time I ever have to watch a Wrong Turn flick so I'm pretty goddamned ok with it. 5 weirdly subservient yet bloodthirsty mutant cannibal cousins out of 10.
