Movie Summary:

            A group of teenagers are hanging out by a lake. They are getting cozy with their boyfriends but when one of the girls is topless Three Fingers, one of the mutant brothers shoots an arrow through the girls boob. They kill all of the teenagers except one girl, Alex who escapes. She is left to fend for herself in the woods for a few days. Two days later a group of prisoners are being transferred including one of the most dangerous Mexican prisoners Chavez by Nate, a prison guard, on his last day before becoming a lawyer. On the way Nate stops by an old friend of his, Sheriff Calvin Carver, he hints that Nate has been in these woods before and therefore knows the area.

            During transportation the infamous Three Fingers attacks the bus. During the attack the prisoners escape, leaded by Chavez himself. (But one of the ‘prisoners’ is really a cop undercover to keep an eye on Chavez). So, Chavez forces Nate to be his guide to get to the watch tower to send for an SOS. (But this tower was burned down in the first Wrong Turn movie) While trying to get there the other officer helping Nate, who is now being held captive by the prisoners who are still handcuffed by feet together stumbles on Alex, by an armoured truck full of money. The money becomes the prisoner’s sole motivation for escape and survival. Chavez commands the other officer to pick up a bag of money, but he refuses due to his injury Three Fingers gave him. The officer tries to pull a gun on him, but his gun isn’t loaded. Chavez kills Nate’s partner.

            They continue the trail after forcing everyone even Alex who has joined their group forcefully have to carry bags of the money. So the group stumbles on a booby trap, they escape the trap set by Three Toes (Three Fingers son from Wrong Turn 2). They catch Three Toes and behead him leaving the head as a warning on the booby trap for Three Fingers. This only made Three Fingers furious. One-by-one Three Fingers kills the prisoner’s. (When one of them dies, they have to saw of his leg since they are all chained together by ankles, so when their running they have this one leg dragging.)

            During the killings Alex and Nate find the burned down tower. Chavez wants to get rid of Nate, but Nate promises to find another way. They find Three Fingers truck, and Chavez uses Alex for bait, they kidnap Alex, but Nate goes and saves her. Back to Chavez, his supposed ‘friend’ Floyd steals the money, and Chavez chases him down, only to find the money burning and Floyd killed by Three Fingers.

            Later Three Fingers is face to face with Chavez and fight him with a hatchet and meat hook. Both get beat, but Three Fingers wins and kills Chavez. NO ONE messes with Three Fingers! He hangs Chavez’s corpse on a tree, cuts his scalp and eats his brain.

            Nate finds Three Fingers cabin and frees Alex. Three Fingers tries to kill Nate, but then Alex stabs Three Fingers with a wooden stake that still had Three Toes head on it. Thinking it’s all over they drive away but Three Fingers jumps on the car, and they crash. Then Brandon, a prisoner that escaped Nate and Chavez decides to help them. (He seems like a nice guy!) The car is about to go in flames but Brandon gets Nate and Alex out. Three Fingers is finally killed by Nate with his meat hook. NOOOOO!!!

            Nate tells Brandon to leave, so he can start his life over, for Brandon had said he was wrongly arrested. They all leave and are ok.

            Sometime later (maybe days, or weeks, or months) Nate returns to the woods to the money filled truck. There is still money in it and Nate opens it up, but Brandon shows up and shoots poor old Nate with an arrow. Brandon says “never trust a con” (take that Nate)! Brandon looks at the money all happy, but then Three Fingers!!!! Yes!!! Is behind him holding this gross weapon dripping of fresh blood. (I like to think it’s Alex’s blood, so there is no survivors.) The movie ends and we hear Brandon’s screaming and Three Fingers laughing!! THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Review:

            What can I say, I liked this movie a lot. The storyline was great, I love how the convicts where ready to really fight the mutant. It was great; the deaths were bloody and gory. I know I’m weird like that. SO I liked this movie, there actually wasn’t much to hate. The topless make out scene in the beginning was stupid and un-necessary, and seriously the arrow through the boob? So stupid.

            I would totally tell you to watch this movie; it’s a good laugh if anything. You have got to love Three Fingers, and I came to love Brandon, he was the quiet guy that just went with the flow, but then shocked everyone at the end. I also liked the fake prisoner, but he died pretty early in the movie.

            Nothing else to say about this movie. Got to just love taking the Wrong Turn.
