I just love film.
Just because I give a movie 5 stars, that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. It just means that I LOVED IT.

    Wrong Turn

    ★★½

    It’s been quite a while since I went 5 days without watching a movie, but we back!

    Normally when I give a film a rating this low, I didn’t like it. In the case of this one, it was exactly what I was looking for. A forgettable early 2000s horror movie filled from top to bottom with all the cliches and tropes. 

    The positives are the premise, it’s admittedly pretty solid, despite the fact it’s been done before. (It helps…

    A pretty good dark comedy. 

    Robert Pattinson is obviously the main attraction here, and he doesn’t disappoint. He gives a performance that, for much of the movie, is rather unforgiving and pulls it off with flying colors. He is truly one of the greats we have working today, and an absolute chameleon no matter the role. If Sebastian Stan got nominated for his portrayal of Trump, Mark Ruffalo deserves one as well. He was hysterical in most of his scenes.…
