A Scene from the movie Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines

Plot:

Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines starts with a newscaster reporting about some festival from a small town. At one time, she goes to the woods and then gets attacked and killed by the three disfigured psychopaths. This time we see another man with them. Later on, it is revealed that that man is somewhat a relative of them and they are living in a cabin in the woods under his protection. He scolds them for not being enough careful.


Then we see a group of five teens, who are camping in the jungle. They have plans to visit somewhere else, but decides to visit that small town to see that festival. While they are on the way, they hit the relative of the maniacs (although it was planned by him). When they get out the car, he attacks them, but the sheriff and his deputy arrives there just then. The sheriff finds some drugs with the teens and after hearing everything, she arrests the group and the man and takes them all to the police station of the town. She (the sheriff) leaves her deputy with the crashed car, who is then killed by the three psychopaths who were waiting nearby for their prey.

At the police station, one of the teens confess that he owns all the drugs. So the sheriff lets the other four teens go. They rent rooms in a nearby hotel. Meanwhile in the police station, the man (the relative of the killers) threatens the sheriff that she should let him go, otherwise his people will come for him and kill everyone to set him free. Naturally, nobody gets scared.

The three killers reach that town to look for him. It seems like the festival of that small town is something like a Halloween costume party, so the disfigured maniacs roam around the town without drawing much attention. Then they enter the power station of that town, kill the guard and shut down the power of the whole town.

Then they start killing the teens one by one. They even kill one in front of the police station. This creates panic and the sheriff frees the captured teen along with another prisoner and gives them shotgun after deputizing them. But this doesn't stop the three killers. She also tries to get help from other nearby police stations, but fails. They manage to kill her husband also.

At one point, the relative of the killers gets free from the jail. Now, the leader rejoins the unstoppable group of killers. Can the sheriff stop them? Can any of the teens survive? To find the answer, you need to watch the movie.


My review about the movie Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines:
First of all, I didn't like this movie at all.

The plot of Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines is very simple and predictive. If you have seen a few Hollywood horror movies or any other of the same series, it will be pretty easy to predict the ending which is nowhere near exciting at all. The direction was also bad. And as a horror movie, Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines will fail totally to scare anyone.

The acting of the leading characters in Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines were not that bad. The dialogues and the make ups were okay, although nothing extraordinary. The scenes of the killing were gore in Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines which they were meant to be. Although the scenes in the jungle looked good in this movie, but the set design of the town was poor.

Another important thing is, in Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines, the teens plan to go to that town and reaches there, so this fifth movie of this franchise does not contain its trademark scene, a mistakenly taken 'wrong turn'.

Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines contains nudity and gore scenes. So who has any idea of this movie series, knows this is not for children.

I've had the chance to watch only the Wrong Turn 4 of this series other than Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines, so I can't compare the fifth one with the ones before part 4. But to me, Wrong Turn 4 was far better than this. I've read in a lot of discussions that the first two movies of this series were actually good and then the series is getting worse by each new sequel. And most of people has given their comments as Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines is the worst of this series.

So, finally, I didn't like Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines for its lack of a good plot, lack of any excitement or surprise, poor set design and too many gore scenes. A poor IMDB rating of 4 (while I'm writing this review) also supports my opinion. I think, other than the hardcore fan of this gore horror movies, nobody else will enjoy Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines.
