In 2003, Wrong Turn hacked its way into cinemas. The movie – a brutal slasher film about a group of teens terrorised by cannibals – starred Eliza Dushku, Jeremy Sisto and Kevin Zegers.

Although Wrong Turn received mixed reviews from critics and so-so box office returns, the film proved popular with the home video crowd, leading to a direct-to-DVD sequel. Wrong Turn 2: Dead End made its debut in 2007, and thanks to a positive response it kick-started a long-running collection of Wrong Turn direct-to-DVD movies.

But how many Wrong Turn movies are there? Well, it’s probably more than you think.

In this post, I am taking a look at the Wrong Turn movie series to provide details about the films. So, if you have only ever watched the first entry, now is the time to play catch up.
