4. Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings

After killing off all of the good cannibals in the third movie, the franchise had nowhere to go but backwards. Who wants a Wrong Turn film without Three Finger and his brothers? Turns out, if critical reception to the 2021 reboot is anything to go by, a lot of people. But before that, 2011's Bloody Beginnings.

Director Declan O'Brien introduces the vicious, deformed Hillicker Brothers (Three Finger, Saw Tooth and One Eye) as inhabitants of West Virginia's local sanitorium. When the three break free and murder the entire comportment of staff (freeing the other patients as they go) the hospital is left abandoned for years. 29 years, to be exact, when a group of college kids happen across the place while snowmobiling.

Bloody Beginnings is no less cheap than its two predecessors, but brings with it a sense of nastiness that would linger from this point onwards. The kill sequences are genuinely unpleasant, the visuals darker and more unsettling, making this the most atmospheric entry in the series. After Left For Dead's nadir, this is a franchise back on the right track.
