Plot:
At the beginning of Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort, we see a couple making love in a jungle. Later on, both of them get killed by those three disfigured psychopath serial killers.

Next we move on the main story. We get introduced to a group of friend. One of them is Danni, who has recently learned that he inherits a resort inside a jungle. So he is taking his girlfriend Toni and some other friends to visit that place. Meanwhile in the resort, we see a brother and a sister working as the manager. Those siblings seem to have some kind of incest relation between them.

Upon reaching the resort, none of the friends, except Danni gets excited. The siblings also get disappointed, as they expected only Danni to visit them. But Danni's friends, especially his girlfriend, are supportive enough to understand his emotions and decides to stay there for a few days. But soon after they arrive, a old lady gets killed in the resort with the help of the brother.

The friends try to adjust with the environment. They find the antique furniture and the big swimming pool exciting. In the meantime, we see the brother is planning for something big with the 3 disfigured killers and orders them to wait. At the same time, two of the friends meet the local sheriff who is looking for the old lady who was killed in the resort. The others passes their times by partying and hovering over the history and the antiques of the resort.

The brother convinces Danni to go to hunting. While Danni kills a wild deer, one killer kills the local sheriff. One of the friends see the killer eating the raw dead deer. We gets scared and runs away and end up injuring Danni and himself in birbwire. After returning to the resort, the sister attends Danni. At one point, she tries to seduce him, but his girlfriend comes and later on, Danni and his girlfriend  have sex.

Next morning, the friends hold a meeting where most of them want to leave the place. But Danni pressures everyone to stay. Then two friends (a couple) plans to steal some old artifacts and leave. They then find a secret room where the sex rituals were held. They start to have sex there but the three killers attack them. They kill the girl there. The boy gets killed later by the sister who first tries to have sex with him.

Danni and his girlfriend have an argument, as the girlfriend wants to leave. She also finds the behavior of the sister with Danny suspicious. At that night, the siblings take Danni to a nearby village where all of the inhabitants are Danni's relatives and all of them are disfigured. The 3 killers are also the residents of this village. One of the friends follow Danni there who gets caught and then killed by the villagers.

They give Danni some drugs. By getting intoxicated by that drug, Danni sees the sister as her girlfriend and finally has sex with her in front of the villagers, which was their main target. The next morning, he returns to the resort where all others are set to leave. Then the friends find the horrific truth behind the resort. The killers attack them, accompanied by the siblings.

Can they escape from there? What happens to the masterplan of the killers and the siblings? Lets watch Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort to know the answers.

My review about the movie Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort:
First of all, I didn't like the movie Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort.

The plot of Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort was not bad. It brought the family legacies and a broader perspective than the other movies of this franchise, which only features killing for no reasons. From that way, its an improvement. But the poor direction and screenplay have ruined it. The same plot could be shown in better way.  Some of the scenes (like trying to seduce an almost dead guy) looked totally unrealistic, even for a horror film. Several times, the sequences didn't match. And as a horror movie, it may fail toally to scare you.

The acting adds another negative point for Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort. Acting of most of the characters were bad. Specially the bad acting of Anthony Ilott as Danni and Sadie Katz as the sister harmed the viewing experience. Among all, the acting of Aqueela Zoll as Danni's girlfriend seemed natural. The other characters didn't seem realistic. The dialogues were okay. The costume designs were good.

The locations used for  Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort looked beautiful, specially the resort. The set design was also good. The lighting, sound effects and the camera works were also okay. Same can be said for the music and sound effects. The special effects were also good, but at some times, the make ups will look unrealistic.

Just like all other films of this series, Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort has several nude scenes and gore scenes. So whoever has a idea of this franchise, knows that this movie is not for children.

So overall, Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort may fail to please you, even you are horror movie fan. People who do not like horror movie may find this one disturbing. With a broader plot like this than the previous films, this movie had the potential to become far better than them, but it failed. I didn't enjoy watching is, so I will not recommend to watch Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort to others.

But what do you think of it? Don't forget to share with us in the comments.

Thale Movie Review

Thale

                                             

Thale is a Norwegian supernatural mystery horror movie released in 2012. This movie is written and directed by Aleksander L. Nordaas. The major (and almost all) characters of the movie Thale are played by Silje Reinåmo, Erlend Nervold, Jon Sigve Skard, Morten Andresen and Sunniva Lien. This movie is based on a Scandinavian folklore character named Hulder.

In the movie Thale, we see two friends and colleagues find a mysterious girl in the basement of a house. The mystery keeps on unfolding as they keep on finding strange incidents about her past.

A Scene from the movie Thale

Plot:

In Thale, at first we get introduced to to two friends cum colleagues named Leo and Elvis, whose job is to clean up crime scenes. Elvis is weak-hearted, he gets sick of the crime scenes. But Leo can keep his head cool while cleaning up.

One day they are doing their job of cleaning up in a house in the forest. After working for a while, they find a hidden passage in that house. The passage leads them to a secret chamber which again leads to a room. Elvis is very curious and he follow the secret path, while Leo reminds him several times that they are not allowed to touch anything, they only clean up.

In that secret room, they find canned foods, scientific books, drawings and a cassette player with some cassettes. It is evident that some scientific experiments were done in this room. The condition of the room also suggests that no one has been here for a very long time. Leo informs their other colleagues about the room and they are on the way here.

But before they leave the room, a naked girl emerges from a bathtub which is filled with some white liquid. The girl has some mask and cables attached to her which provides her life supplies. As soon a she wakes up, she removes them. The girl faints then and Elvis takes her out of the bathtub and places her on a table. Leo goes out and when he comes back, finds the girl strangling Elvis. Leo talks the girl to release Elvis and then gives her some clothes.

The girl starts eating canned foods which are already rotten. Leo goes out again to bring some food for the girl. Meanwhile, Elvis plays those cassettes and the girl reacts strangely hearing the voices from the record. Elvis then finds a nicely decorated room hidden inside that room. He follows the girl there. The girl has some special ability with which, she gives Elvis some vision of her past. Now all these time, some strange creatures seem to closing in that cabin.

When Leo comes back, they find a tail preserved in a refrigerator. Now three of them are sitting in the room waiting for other people to come. Then Leo tells Elvis that he has lung cancer. Earlier, the girls also seemed to notice something strange in Elvis's chest.

Suddenly, they hear footsteps nearing in, circling the cabin. The girl gets frightened so they lock the door. Someone tries to enter there by force but Leo and Elvis stop the intruder. Next a gas is released in the room through the keyhole which makes Elvis and Leo unconscious.

Then we see more of what happened to that girl. Elvis and Leo wakes up outside the cabin, blindfolded and tied to a chair. An old man tells them more about the girl. Some soldiers with weapons are inside that room looking for the girl. After telling the story, the old man proceeds to kill Leo.

Can Leo or Elvis be saved? Does to soldiers find the girl? What in their fate? Lets watch Thale to know these answers.

My review about the movie Thale:

First of all, Thale seemed as a average movie with an interesting plot, which has both of some strong and weak sides.

The plot of the movie Thale was good and seemed unique. It is not just an average mystery horror movie you watch regularly. But the problem with the plot is, it goes a little slow. The lack of contents can also contribute to make you feel bored. More contents, storyline, special effects, dialogues and actions could make this movie far better. But even with these drawbacks, Thale felt enough entertaining. The direction and screenplay were also good.

The acting of all the major characters were good in Thale. This movie has a very limited set of characters but the director chose them well. The dialogues were also good. But the whole movie is in Norwegian language, so unless you know that, you will need English subtitles with Thale. The make ups and the costume designs also blended nicely with the movie.

The music and the sound effects were also okay and matched nicely with the theme of Thale. The set design, lighting and camera effects will also seem well balanced. This movie is a low budget film, where most of the film was shot in the director's father's basement. But considering this, the director has done a good job. The camera works on only some shots may make you feel the lack of budget in the movie Thale. The strange creatures looked terrifying but natural, which we don't always see even in some high budget films.

The movie Thale contains some nudity, so it is not appropriate to watch this movie with kids.

So overall, Thale seemed a nice movie with some small drawbacks. I enjoyed watching this film. If you want to watch it to get frightened, you will get disappointed. But if you like mystery movies with folklore characters, I guess you will enjoy Thale. So I'll recommend watching the movie Thale to all mystery or foreign movie lovers.
