While Wrong Turn took The Hills Have Eyes and dropped it in Appalachia, there wasn't much going for the film except for Eliza Dusku's tight tank top. Wrong Turn 2: Dead End somehow beat the curse of the Direct-to-DVD dumps and proved to be a lot of campy fun and excessive gore and was better than the first film. Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead proves the third time is not the charm. This one should have been left dead.

Aside from the opening nudity, there are no tight tank tops in Wrong Turn 3. In fact, aside from a few good scenes of gore, the film is mostly shot at night and features cops and convicts. Somehow a group of skinheads and Latino thugs are being transported through the backwoods when Three Fingers (the only ghoul to return from the last film) causes the bus to run off the road. The convicts get the cops’ guns and start to trek through the woods while getting picked off one by one. But then there is a wayward armored car full of moola so the story gets really boring with more scenes of greed than gore.

Painful and pathetic, Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead is DOA. By no means check this film out. Even if you have invested time in the first two films. Why? Wrong Turn 3 is more of an action film than a horror film. Its shoestring budget keeps the gore to a minimum so the Unrated tag is just a marketing gimmick. The acting reaches pornography levels at times and the plot is pointless. If anyone wanted to watch Prison Break, they would. Because outside of the one deformed hillbilly cannibal that shows up for about six minutes, this film is basically an escaped prisoner morality play. Boring.
