What happens

Wrong Turn is a 2003 slasher film directed by Rob Schmidt, written by Alan B. McElroy, and starring Desmond Harrington, Eliza Dushku, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Jeremy Sisto, and Kevin Zegers. The first installment in the Wrong Turn film series, it follows a group of six individuals being stalked by deformed, inbred, cannibalistic mountain men in the woods of West Virginia. Development for the film began in 2001 when it was announced Summit Entertainment and Newmarket Group teamed to produce Wrong Turn, a 1970s-style horror film to be directed by Schmidt, from a script written by McElroy. The film was a co-production between Summit and Constantin Film, with Stan Winston designing the creature effects and serving as a producer. Wrong Turn was released on May 30, 2003 in the United States by 20th Century Fox and Regency Enterprises. Although it grossed $28.7 million worldwide against a $12 million budget, it received mixed reviews from critics, with its criticisms aimed towards its overdone writing. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
