Soon, Jen and her friends find themselves in a sinister battle for survival…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The Wrong Turn series – based on a movie so unmemorable that you’re probably shocked that it’s even a series at all – gets a gory reboot that does not hold back on its gruesome kills or its intense wilderness setting.
