Wrong Turn is an American slasher film series created by director Rob Schmidt[1] and writers Alan B. McElroy, Adam Cooper and Bill Collage (uncredited).[2] The original script is similar to The X-Files episode “Home”.[3] The series consists of seven films, five of which share the same continuity, while the later two films are served as a reboot.
The films originally focus on various families of deformed cannibals who hunt and kill a group of people in West Virginia in horrific ways by using a mixture of traps and weaponry. The reboot film features a centuries-old cult in Virginia who respond violently to outsiders who intrude on their self-sufficient
civilization. The film series became known primarily as a direct-to-video franchise grossing $21.8 million in home sales.
