Even the straight to DVD (or VHS for us older folks) kind ususally have just what I need. Woods people-teens-blood-menial story-no sub plot. What else could you ask for.Goosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047656254205572983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-92165888450996240142007-05-17T14:42:00.000-04:002007-05-17T14:42:00.000-04:00Hey Stacie, welcome back, I've missed you!

I have mixed feelings about Wrong Turn-Yes it is a return to 70's style horror flicks, yes it is a welcome return to "hillbilly horror" (love that genre), yes it has some great gory set pieces-But, I agree the two leads are weak and a couple of the CGI enhanced kills look a little too CGI to me. Thanks god films like this helped end the scream/ironic/ultra-polished tread of the 90's. Now if they will just stop with the remakes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-46035537007418508832007-05-17T12:10:00.000-04:002007-05-17T12:10:00.000-04:00It pleases me greatly to see such an outpouring of...It pleases me greatly to see such an outpouring of affection for <B>Wrong Turn</B>, I heart it so.<BR/><BR/>Mr Ross- I admire the ingenuity of bringing booze in a ziploc baggie. I've never considered such a thing. I did cut a block of cheese with some scissors once, though.<BR/><BR/>Sad Man- yeah, I like that Lindy Booth. As Amanda By Night pointed out to me, the guy who plays her boyfriend in <B>WT</B> also plays her kinda-boyfriend in the <B>Dawn of the Dead</B> remake. There's your Lindy Booth trivia for the day!<BR/><BR/>Pierce- definitely give it another try; you may still dislike it, but that's ok. We'll still like you! ;)<BR/><BR/>Robert- yes, every once in a while I let some personal tidbits leak out if they relate to the movie at hand. It's weird, though- I think Final Girl is a very personal blog without being a personal blog at all, if that makes sense. I just mean that I think people can get an idea of what I'm like by reading my posts regardless of the fact that I don't really talk about myself much. However, it's all about the movies, not me, and I like it that way!<BR/><BR/>Theron- I agree completely. Jeremy Sisto is pretty cool...I don't think about him all that often (meaning, I don't necessarily seek out his films), but whenever he shows up in something he puts in a good performance and I think "I really like that Jeremy Sisto!"Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-47809779596743111752007-05-17T10:49:00.000-04:002007-05-17T10:49:00.000-04:00Jeremy Sisto is my favorite part of this great fli...Jeremy Sisto is my favorite part of this great flick. He's such a great actor, but he seems to always played complicated, disturbed characters. Who'd think that in a horror/slasher movie, he'd get to play the most normal character in the film? He rocks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-1701334422586031812007-05-17T04:20:00.000-04:002007-05-17T04:20:00.000-04:00Nice post, Stacie.

I think what I just said means that I trust your judgment more than my own. Don't let it go to your head Stacie!<BR/><BR/>P.S.

But I remember the first time I saw it I was at the edge of my seat, especially with the 'inbreds return home' scene. Plus, how can a movie with sexy, SEXY Lindy Booth be bad?

But I mean it. It's one of those films that set me on edge, and I hope Part 2 will be just as good (doubting it). <BR/><BR/>One of my favorite kills of slasher 'histoire', would have to be that Axe chopping the top half of 'her' head. Lovable! Reminds me that I should probably pick this one up. I don't have many newer films, so this would be a nice addition.<BR/><BR/>-Body Boy (bodyhorror)Josh DeSlasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229382844556631429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-29627453508535649332007-05-16T16:44:00.000-04:002007-05-16T16:44:00.000-04:00That was a good spring, because Wrong Turn came ou...That was a good spring, because Wrong Turn came out not too long after House of 1000 Corpses.
