Nelson and written by Alan McElroy (of 2003\u2019s \u201cWrong Turn\u201d) is such a gem. And it\u2019s not just worthwhile in comparison to that Eliza Dushku-starring hicksploitation film, which equaled the artistry of a pancake. For my fellow skeptics, let me make it clear: gone are the West Virginian inbred cannibals and their hoard of corpse meat and car keys; the same goes for\u00a0the dull predator vs. prey\u00a0dynamic that dominated the first \u201cWrong Turn\u201d (and inspired five sequels).\u00a0The culture clash here between &#8220;goddamn hipster freaks&#8221; and people of the woods is more complicated here, and the way it unfolds\u00a0is brutal and shocking without being depraved itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>This is a remake that has clearly moved on from the original, and now wants to be graded on its brains instead of its brawn\u2014for the dialogue it adds to the tension between two civilizations, especially as McElroy evolves the slasher story to cult horror, like an\u00a0Appalachian &#8220;Midsommar.&#8221;\u00a0That last part is\u00a0where it gets a little less sturdy, but director Mike P. Nelson has a confidence that keeps this movie bolder than you expect. And considering its\u00a0fitfully nasty traps, it\u00a0can be mighty thrilling when you don\u2019t really know where a reboot like this is going.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This \u201cWrong Turn\u201d shares the title mostly by branding\u2014a group of hip, diverse young hikers\u00a0also make a bad decision here, this time in search of a\u00a0rare Civil War fort off an Appalachian trail. The batch includes Jen\u00a0(an incredibly <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>\u00a0Charlotte Vega) and her boyfriend Darius (Adain Bradley), an out-and-out <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>ist who works for a non-profit and openly dreams about an equal society.\u00a0In <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> these hikers,\u00a0who include a gay couple and also an interracial couple, are a\u00a0liberal beacon for what they think the future of America should be.<span>\u00a0They&#8217;re also dead meat, starting with the rogue tree trunk that suddenly barrels down the hill in an excellent, frantic sequence, killing one of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Not that these outsiders\u00a0weren\u2019t warned by the locals of the nearby\u00a0small Virginia town to stay away,\u00a0after then accusing the hikers\u00a0of never working &#8220;real jobs&#8221; (to which the young folks then reply with their different careers, albeit none of them blue-collar positions).\u00a0The initial tension in the movie is between that of curdled Confederate dreams and Bernie Sanders-grade socialism, and while it can be a little on-the-nose, it does make for a strong foundation related to fear of the other. Which so happens to later manifest itself in the woods with a creepy cult known as The Foundation, who wear animal skulls as masks and moss as camouflage, and\u00a0have created a secluded civilization\u00a0the Appalachian mountains since 1859. Adam (Dylan McTee), the hiking group&#8217;s hothead, is dragged into one of the traps set by members of The Foundation, sending the hikers into panic mode. Along with the figures Jen sees in the woods, and the traps that injure them around the mountain (Darius takes a spiked ball to the chest, but recovers with help of med student Milla [Emma Dumont]),\u00a0they&#8217;re convinced it is they who are being hunted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>What\u2019s striking, and a bit sloppy about this movie, is that it still humanizes everyone, albeit while honoring\u00a0two different understandings of what is considered barbaric.\u00a0When the hiking hipsters attack one of the Foundation members\u2014without any outright violence committed beforehand\u2014the act of killing becomes a divisive choice between the group. Adam, the guy who does the skull-smashing deed with a tree branch, screams out in self-defense, \u201cThese are clearly not good people!\u201d<span>\u00a0The hikers face judgment when they are\u00a0captured by other members of The Foundation.\u00a0&#8220;Wrong Turn&#8221;\u00a0then invests a chunk of its running time in a creepy court scene, inside the torch-lit caves of the cult, overseen by its stern ruler John (Bill Sage), whose rulings involve either darkness or death. He is deeply insulted\u00a0when Jen, pleading for her life, accuses The Foundation of being barbaric.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Foundation is what particularly moves this film away from its original, instead bringing up memories of Ari Aster\u2019s cult horror movie \u201cMidsommar.\u201d &#8220;Wrong\u00a0Turn&#8221;\u00a0is practically emboldened\u00a0by the horror that Aster has popularized,\u00a0of being doomed by a terror that\u2019s just out of your eyesight. And it\u2019s certainly Aster-like with the amount of head trauma here, as Nelson\u2019s often jolting moments of skulls getting crushed, shot, stabbed etc., prove to be just the type of cold-blooded beats you\u2019d want from a movie filled with visceral emotional and physical pain. Nelson certainly has a more down-and-dirty approach than Aster, using desaturated colors with his copious daylight (like Fede \u00c1lvarez&#8217;s &#8220;Evil Dead&#8221;\u00a0remake), making the surrounding woods all the more claustrophobic, especially when it appears that the trees have eyeballs.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But the intellectual ambitions of this &#8220;Wrong Turn&#8221;\u00a0sometimes overwhelm it, and the\u00a0ultimate meaning behind The Foundation comes apart when you think about it. As a snarky\u00a0Frankenstein of\u00a0Darius&#8217; socialist dreams and the locals&#8217; conservative ideology, the cult doesn&#8217;t make too much sense as the statement it clearly wants to be. It does, however, lead to some great thrills, as the traps set by The Foundation (for animals?\u00a0for people?) on the mountains are horrific and surprising\u00a0in their own right.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>There\u2019s a lifeline during this horror in the form of Matthew Modine as Scott, Jen\u2019s father. The movie even begins with his search for her, and\u00a0it gives the story a depth that makes it especially painful and nasty\u2014everyone here is a family member, someone&#8217;s loved one. And as the story goes on, McElroy scripts an often tight but long game with select pieces like Scott, and the locals back in town\u00a0who beat him up when he asks too many questions.\u00a0At the same time, &#8220;Wrong Turn&#8221; proves sharp at creating a strong sense of characters being doomed, but giving them a glimmer of hope if they can beat the next nasty threat in front of them.\u00a0Meeting the mountain&#8217;s locals is only just the beginning, and it becomes exciting to see McElroy and Nelson evolve &#8220;Wrong Turn&#8221;\u00a0into a bizarre, winding odyssey, albeit with a lot more on its mind than just\u00a0a cool kill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>In theaters only on January 26th and January 30th\u00a0via Fathom Events.
