Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings

Plot synopsis:
The film opens in 1974 at the Glenville Sanatorium for the mentaly ill with Dr. Ryan (Arne McPherson) showing a local psychiatrist Dr. Ann McQuaid (Kristen Harris) around the psychiatric hospital. The cannibals from the previous films-One Eye, Three Finger, and Saw Tooth now are locked up in the institution as children. But the cannibals escapes and sets other insane patient free in the hospital. Then cannibals savagely murder an orderly, a guard, Dr. Ryan and Dr. McQuaid.The film then switches to present day (in 2003) where a group of nine college kids; Kenia (Jennifer Pudavick), lesbian couple Sara (Tenika Davis) and Bridget (Kaitlyn Wong), Lauren (Ali Tataryn), Jenna (Terra Vnesa), and Claire (Samantha Kendrick), along with their guy friends Kyle (Victor Zinck), Vincent (Sean Skene) and Daniel (Dean Armstrong) are going snowmobiling. They are heading to their friend Porter's cabin in the mountains. They get lost in a storm and seek refuge inside the now abandoned Glenville Sanatorium. Little do they know, the three now adult cannibals are hiding out in the sanatorium and murdering trespassers (The movie is silent about whereabouts of rest of patients set free by cannibals).The group of teenagers explore the asylum, and decide to wait out the storm. After a montage of rolling around in wheelchairs, acting on illegal drugs, drinking booze and acting like teenagers, the storm still hasn't stopped so the teenagers are forced to sleep in the desolate building. In the middle of the night, Vincent, suffering from insomnia, walks around the asylum and finds Porter's mutilated body - apparently he didn't make it to his cabin either. He is then killed by Saw-Tooth having a metal rod shoved into his chin and out through the top of his head.The next morning, everyone discovers they are still snowed in, and Vincent is missing. The gang splits up to look for him, and Jenna witnesses the cannibals cutting Porter up. She runs back to tell the others and they all meet up in the auditorium. Something wrapped in Porter's jacket is thrown at them and Kenia opens it up to reveal Porter's severed head. Screaming and panicking, the group flocks around the door, trying to get out but the doors are locked. The three cannibals, up in the balcony, throw down a strip of barb-wire and loop it around Claire's neck, pulling her up to the balcony. Kyle tries to save her, but it is too late and the barb-wire tightens, severing Claire's head. Horrified, those who are left of them (Kenia, Sara, Bridget, Lauren, Jenna, Kyle and Daniel) run outside and try to escape on their snowmobiles, but the engines won't turn and it is revealed that the cannibals had stripped them of their spark plug wires. Lauren sets off on her own to ski down the mountain to retrieve help and the other six run inside to try to defend themselves.Kenia, Bridget, Sara, Jenna, Kyle and Daniel barricade themselves in an office where they find files on the three cannibals that say the three are deformed and cannibalistic. Sara, armes herself with a fire poker. Daniel and Kyle leave to go find more weapons with Kyle remembering the room filled with knives and saws that him, Kenia, Claire and Jenna found while they were searching for Vincent. The three are chased by Three Finger who is also wielding an axe and they find the room filled with knives, lock themselves in and hide, waiting for him to pass. Meanwhile, One Eye attempts to break through the door of the office with a drill but Kenia, Bridget and Jenna fend him off.Back with Sara, Kyle, and Daniel, they stock up with an arsenal of knives and other tools, and run back to the others, but on the way Daniel is grabbed by the cannibals and dismembered with a knife. Sara, Bridget, Kenia, Jenna and Kyle go to look for Daniel after hearing his screams. The cannibals are slicing off pieces of Daniel's skin and cooking them in a pot of boiling oil. Kyle is separated from everyone else and discovers the killer clan torturing Daniel.The teenagers devise a plan to catch the cannibals and succeed in trapping them inside a cell. Kyle attempts to set them on fire, but Kenia coaxes him into having the heart and not killing them. Sara, Bridget, Kenia and Jenna go to search for the spark plugs that were stripped from their snowmobiles earlier, and Kyle stands guard outside, but Three Finger manages to pick the lock to get the cell open and Saw Tooth grabs Kyle by the throat and delivers one punch then the screen goes black.Kenia goes to check on Kyle and finds him and the cannibals gone. She runs back to the office with Sara, Bridget, and Jenna and the four girls decide to stay in the room until morning. One of the cannibals appears wearing a potato sack, and the girls stab him to death only to reveal it is Kyle whose tongue was cut out so who couldn't talk and they just mistakenly killed him. The girls then encounter the three cannibals and are chased up into the attic. They find some old winter clothes and put them on and then run back down to the main floor and try to escape through a window. To their dismay, they are all grated, except for one where the grate is bent. Sara rips away the grating and shatters the glass and the girls climb through the window and out into the snow. But Jenna-who climbs through last-doesn't make it and is killed with a drill.Kenia, Sara and Bridget run away into the snow pursued by the cannibals on the teenager's snowmobiles. Bridget is captured, but escapes using her knife to stab one of the killers in the arm. Kenia is wounded, and Bridget is killed. Morning starts to come, and it is revealed that Lauren had frozen to death, just a few yards from a road.It switches to the cannibal chasing Kenia on the snowmobile, but Sara hits him with a log. The two then board the snowmobile and drive off into the snow--but they run into a barbwire fence and are both decapitated. Three Finger then appears, grabs the girl's heads, throws them into the back of the yellow tow truck that appeared in the first film. Three Finger Hops in himself and he and the other cannibals drive off and the film ends.

Review:
In my eyes, nothing will be better than the first one and it should have stopped at the first one.There wasn't any character development at all (I know you don't expect that much in scary movies but there was nothing), their actions were the antithesis of what any person with common sense would have done, there wasn't enough back story to really fill us in on how this started, it was just a hot mess!
Now in 2003, insert some nudity (great tits on the 3 sexy actresses, thumbs up) and some friends with snow mobiles decide to head out into a snowstorm, and get lost and take a wrong turn (surprise!), and end up at that sanatorium we met the brothers in at the opening...Sadly, this can't be taken seriously as a horror movie.
So this movie can be entertaining, but its got to be watched as a silly bloody comedy, NOT a horror film.
Not to say that everything in this movie is predictable (if you're drunk) but if you're sober then yeah its pretty cut and paste.If you thought, like I did, that maybe this was some sort of prequel and you could watch the beginning of this now direct to DVD series then oh boy are you in for some crap.
So in short if you'd like to see some kids get cut up for about 90 minutes and you don't mind turning off your brain, then yeah you may dig this movie.My advice, go watch Silence of the Lambs or maybe Red Dragon, now those are some good movies right there.
Overall, I was satisfied with the gore, as well as the kills that brought it.One more thing I really liked was that Wrong Turn 4 seemed to take a more "humane" approach to the hillbillies.
I always thought the Wrong Turn movies had really good makeup artistry on these hillbillies, but this is simply unacceptably and horribly made.
"Wrong Turn 4:Bloody Beginnings" tells the story of a tragic snowmobiling trip in West Virginia that turns into bloody battle for survival.A group of teenagers get pummeled by a massive blizzard,get lost and end up in an old sanitarium where disfigured cannibalistic mutants live and stalk for their prey.So we have Three-Finger,One-Eye and Saw-Tooth butchering and devouring their beautiful victims."Wrong Turn 4" is a downright silly slasher/cannibal flick with plenty of nasty gore on display.A couple of bare breasts is a nice touch.I haven't still "Wrong Turn III" yet,but if you like 'em bloody you can't go wrong with "Bloody Beginnings".7 blizzards out of 10..
and the stupidity is very clear in their way of thinking during the movie like that scene when their friend Daniel ( dean Armstrong ) was getting torturing in the basement and they were in the room thinking how to rescue him they took so much time to think till their friend has died ...
Getting stranded in a freak snowstorm, a group of friends seeking shelter in a supposedly-abandoned asylum find it still inhabited by cannibalistic inmates housed there years ago hunting them down one- by-one and must find a way of getting away from the vicious killers.This was a rather fun and entertaining entry in the series which has a lot to like about it.
All of these great action scenes are given a great sense of fun here as the gore and kills here are both over- the-top here, featuring numerous amounts of splatter and carnage which allow the film to be pretty brutal at times with some innovative torturing methods all of which give this one here a lot to like.
The fact these are the only positive aspects of the movie says it all really, we can only hope this series has come to an end before we have Wrong Turn 8: Space Cannibals (that might be better than this actually).2/10.
Wrong Turn was a good two piece film series gone down the drain sadly with it's terribly acted, awful effected third installment and there was no way a fourth could happen but Declian O'Brian, who directed three, then decided in order to make fans happy then went and bought Wrong Turn 4: "Bloody Beginnings".
If I had to say, Wrong Turn 4 is definitley the most watched to me in the series due to me and my friends crazy obsession with this film back in the day and theres reasons for that.
And now, we have the fourth part, titled Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings, and even though I would put it below the first two films of the saga, I liked it much more than the third one, at the same time that I generally had a good time while I was watching it.The characters from Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings are reasonably well defined, and they are not AS stupid as what we are accustomed to see in the horror genre.
Besides, the performances show enough conviction, while the gory scenes are appropriately grotesque.On the negative side of Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings, we have logical holes in the screenplay, some brief moments of boredom, and an irritating deviation of the original setting, because instead of being developed in the remote woods of Virginia, most of the film is developed inside an abandoned hospital, which makes me suspect two things: 1) Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings is adapted from a screenplay which was originally written without the intention of being part of this franchise; or 2) director Declan O' Brien had to alter the locations when he found an excessively hostile weather in the woods of Manitoba (Canada), where the film was shot.Nevertheless, I liked Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings despite not being a highly memorable horror film, and it is pleasant to see this franchise again on the right track after the tedious third movie.
We never learn what happened to the other escaped patients and learn very little about the cannibals' new victims (other than that they like to party, have sex and do unimaginably stupid things).The film is full of bad dialogue, bad acting and implausible situations.
But there was actually ONE good thing about this movie, yep, that was the songs sang by the Blackout City Kids: Wrong Turn and Survive.
I have seen the other 3, 1 & 2 weren't bad, 3 you could see was pushing it, and then a 4th, they must of been snorting something when writing script and picking the plots.NO OFFENCE to the guy from Denmark who actually thought this was good, but were you sober when you watched the movie?
A group of kids on a ski trip make a Wrong Turn heading for their cabin to an abandoned insane asylum were three of the mutant inbreed kids from the last three films were being held until they "liberated" the patients.Own its own, Bloody beginnings is a pretty good horror flick with some gory slow deaths and a lot of hot girls being chased by the inbreeds.
I go for DEAN ARMSTRONG AND ALI TATARYN because they made the movie much palatable.Good acting but only small screen time for Ali. Wrong movie to star in for the both of them (but at least Daniel's death was one of the great scenes but too gory)BTW, he looked at least thirty X.
Wrong Turn 4 has one of the most idiotic openings of any horror film I have ever seen, with the series' three supposedly feral inbred cannibals, Sawtooth, One Eye and Three Fingers, displaying remarkable acumen and superb lock-picking skills to escape incarceration in what must be the most poorly designed and badly located sanitorium in the world.
Such abject idiocy is hard to swallow, but it does at least result in some very nasty violence early on (including one spectacularly brutal death scene involving barbed wire and a mechanised door system) which, if anything, promises that the rest of the film will be a good time for gore hounds.Indeed, as Wrong Turn 4 progresses, it more than capably fulfils its potential as a very grisly flick, offering up plenty of OTT splatter (a combination of great practical effects and less successful CGI); sadly, it also continues further down the same amazingly logic-free path, delivering amazingly bad plot developments and some of the most deserving victims in the history of horror.
As a result, the film is enjoyable on one level, but absolutely infuriating on another.In the end, the balance is tipped slightly in the film's favour by the fact that every girl in the film is extremely easy on the eye, with Jennifer Pudavick looking particularly great in her tight sweater (which sadly stays on throughout), and Tenika Davis and Kaitlyn Wong deserving of a special mention for not one but two completely unnecessary but very welcome lesbian sex scenes..
I liked Wrong Turn (7/10) and I really had fun watching Wrong Turn 2 (9/10) , I did not like Wrong Turn 3 (3/10) at all.Wrong Turn 4 is a better then the 3rd one in the series, It was not as good as first one or as fun as the second one.I liked how the movie started off and found it really in trusting and then one really good gory death scene at the start!The rest of movie was a little disappointing as deaths in this movie were pretty lame and silly as well (But they did not look as fake as the death scene in last one) but they are still so silly that you will laugh, even the last death scene was really funny !This movie will not scare you or creepy you OUT and it won't even gross you out!I also liked how the cannibals look a lot more scary then they did in last one and the make up effect was decent.
Also acting is also good for Straight to DVD movie and bit better then last one.I Will give Wrong Turn 4 5 out of 10.
Although I have now seen all four in the horror/hillbilly/cannibal franchise, I can only remember bits and pieces of the first one, I remember not liking the second one, and I recall that the third one opened with a good kill but then slid into mediocrity.So when Wrong Turn 4 was offered to me, I wasn't exactly jumping up and down like a 6-year-old on Christmas morning.
The staff are grotesquely tortured and killed and the opening chapter offers an array of chaos in the hospital hallways all set to classical music.Fade to black and then we meet a group of sexed-up friends who while on a skiing/snowmobiling trip take a wrong turn (wink wink nod nod) and end up taking refuge in the sanatorium while a major winter storm bares down on them.If we need to tell you what happens next then you really must see more horror movies and you should stop reading this right now and go out and rent yourself any 5 to 10 slasher titles to get acquainted with the clichés that fill a plot while characters offer some of the dumbest solutions to ensuring their survival.Wrong Turn 4 does nothing to elevate it above the clichés and borderline retarded decision making.
The women of the film are comprised of sexpots and lesbians and before the group even gets to sanatorium that will seal most of their fates, we get plenty of boobs and ass that give the average horror movie that extra 'ummph'.As aforementioned, there is nothing new to be found in Wrong Turn 4.
People are picked off one by one and just when the good guys get the upper hand, they do something stupid to give back the advantage to the crazy homicidal ones.Still, for reasons that we will likely regret in 2 years when someone revisits our review and reminds us that we gave favor to Wrong Turn 4, we enjoyed the experience for both its brutality and its simplicity.
We then see these teens stumble about for a holiday and they get lost and find the deserted place (taking a wrong turn) where they are soon hunted and stalked by the grown up cannibal mutant men.Now I do like the plot and I think it works and never flaws.
If that wasn't enough, their character portrayals are just as worse, having that said like they have no idea what the hell's going on and they devise the stupidest plans and they make the crappiest decisions I've ever seen in a horror film.A lot of the scenes were very pointless and made no sense but what do you expect from Declan O' Brien.
Plus have seen my fair share of horror franchises where at least one film has been good.Personally quite enjoyed the first two 'Wrong Turn' films, they weren't perfect or great but had a lot to recommend.
Hated even more 'Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings', a prequel detailing the hillbillies' origins that just came over as completely pointless with nothing interesting to say and was just badly executed as a film.
It makes exactly the same flaws as the third film, amplifies them and makes more on the way while not having either thing that stopped that film from being worse.It's the camera work that fares the least badly in 'Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings', that it's still not very good with only moments of atmosphere is saying a lot about how awful everything else is.Every single actor here is awful, no exceptions.
With a major snow storm coming in they decide to take shelter at an abandoned mental sanatorium but they don't realize that there are three mutant cannibals inside.Writer-director Declan O'Brien certainly makes up for the incredibly awful WRONG TURN 3 by making a pretty darn good slasher that manages to give us some likable characters and some memorable gore scenes.
I myself like gore in movies but in some cases, it's scary to watch with is a good thing.
"Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings" is the fourth movie of the Wrong Turn series and this one has to do with a group of college students who gets lost in a storm during their snowmobiling trip and they got refuge to a house which is the home of deformed cannibals.
It is fairly typical late teenager slasher characters we are dealing with here after all.There is a good amount of violence, mayhem, blood and gore in this fourth installment of the "Wrong Turn" movies.
I like the way it started with the guy making the wrong turn, getting in an accident with some others and all discovering the nightmare, wrecking yard with cannibals.
Honestly after that stupid lead chick decided not to kill the crazies, I wanted all of the college kids to get eaten.Good setting, bad movie, bad acting all the way around.
Instead the group just leaves one guard and happily go to sleep.When watching the movie I tried to come up with so many other ways it could have gone - perhaps kill the original assailants only to find more in the woods, but as-is this is only beer-horror and just-for-laughs movie.Anyways - compared to Wrong Turn 2 and 3, I suppose this is a step in the right direction.
I saw Wrong Turn quite a few years ago, it was a decent slasher film that despite it's clichés and typical characters, it was good enough to get by.
Little do they know, the three cannibals are hiding out in the sanatorium and murdering trespassers.So let me tell you about this film really, the characters are beyond obnoxiouslike incredibly to the point where you're wishing they'd die annoying!
Follows a group of friends that decide to go snowmobiling during their winter break.They make a "wrong turn", getting lost in a storm, and seek shelter in an abandoned sanatorium.They are completely isolated by the storm and are thankful they can get out of the elements.But the sanatorium has a troubled past, and some of its former patients still reside there and are not happy about the intrusion.In a deadly game of cat and mouse, the college kids must fight to survive the night....The title is misleading, I was expecting some sort of origin story of how the killers came about, but no, it's another stalk and slash movie which just takes a good movies name and tarnishes it.I don't know whether these are supposed to be college kids, because one of them looks at least forty, and the acting is truly horrific.There should be some humour in this, just like the second movie, to make it more palatable, but the director must think that we want to see women in bed for the majority of the first act and then just put really bad effects in the mix.It's devoid of any tension and frights, and it's nothing you haven't seen before, and it turns out to be quite a bad film.but an extra point for the final scene, which was probably (hopefully) snuff...
Wrong turn 1 was a great, entertaining movie, the 2nd one started to decline badly, i didn't even bother watching the 3rd one, but this one being a prequel i was really interested in knowing more about the hillbilly gang.
(3/10)Support Cast: Filled with other friends who all make disposable characters and the cannibals who make for good hunters you actually cheer for by the end.Director Review: Declan O'Brien – Taking the franchise the wrong way here, he is making the films worse and ruining what was starting to get good.
One thing that is apparent after four Wrong Turn films is that the cannibal killers themselves aren't that interesting, they grunt to each other, jump around a bit & eat human flesh but otherwise do very little else & I ended up watching this just waiting for the next kill as the rest of the story is so forgettable.
Add to that plenty of blood splatter, hacked off hands & a gory stabbing Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings is one to watch if you like gore.
