Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines
Directed by Declan O'Brien
Hmm. I hear a lot of people call some horror movies torture porn. And yes, with this movie they are right.
I enjoy horror movies, but I like there to be a point to the violence (like The Cell). With this movie there was indeed much blood, but for no point and with no resolution.
Maybe you guys have seen it before, but this is the first movie I'd seen where a character is cut open and fed her own insides in her dying moments. I was strangely intrigued and deterred by that scene... You think you've seen it all in horror movie with digging out babies from woman turning into zombie, people getting pushes into pits full of needles, woman making dumplings out of aborted babies, nipples getting cut off as punishment, ect. But no. I had never seen a girl fed her own insides in a movie.
Yup, there's that scene I was talking about. Remember, kids, this pic is just from a fictional movie. Image from http://www.cinemalowdown.com/2012/10/dvd-review-wrong-turn-5-bloodlines.html
Wrong Turn 5 is definitely not for people like me who like movies to have a point. I really enjoyed the first Wrong Turn. The struggle of those characters was interesting and at least had dimension. WT5 characters don't really even put up much of a fight. There's just more of them to kill than in the 1st movie, so I feel that this is a quantity over quality call.
So you got your classic group of college age peeps heading out for a good time with loads of assorted drugs. The inbred mountain men, living in an abandoned sanitarium in the previous movie but now have been taken in by criminal Maynard in the woods, are out for the hunt and the kids seem like a fine target.
The young-ens are in the area for the Mountain Man music fest, earning its name from the legend of the inbred cannibals who killed the areas inhabitants long ago. The group gets into a car crash on their way though when Maynard steps in the road and fakes being hit to get them within stabbing range.
Luckily the sheriff shows up in time to take him in. However she also takes in one of the kids for possession.
Waiting for the dude to be released from the police station, the group doesn't go to the music festival and from the set it seems like everyone else is gone in the town to the music festival minus the inbred men, the sheriff, a drunk guy, the kids, and some other punks.
One by one the people all are killed (really there's not much plot besides that for most of the movie). In the end 1 girl from the group survives after getting her eyes stabbed and makes a blind run for it on the road. Unfortunately the inbred men get Maynard from the police station, which they've set on fire, and grab her from the road too. Maynard has promised her that he'd screw her, have the inbred men screw her, kill her, and cut off her boobs as souvenirs, so she's all sad like as they drive away with her.
If you've ever seen Ichi the Killer, then just Maynard's mention of the boob thing probably reminds you of the boob scene from that and makes you kinda cringe...
News lady flipping off one of the inbred men in the beginning of the movie. You can guess what happens next. Seriously.
It's not remotely hard to figure out. Image from http://horrorcharts.com/movie-wrong-turn-5/
Those 'no hope' endings bum me out most of the time... Like what was the point... That's why I like my horror to have a reason for the blood.
So, another movie that I would not recommend, unless you like pointless suffering for about and hour and a half.
