Wrong Turn is a franchise of six American slasher horror films created by Alan B. McElroy and distributed by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. All six films follows various families of deformed cannibals who hunt a group of people in West Virginia by killing them all in horrific ways and using a mixture of traps and weaponry for food. Three cannibals who have appeared in every Wrong Turn films are: Three Finger, Saw Tooth, and One Eye. The first two films of the series was released theatrically, while later installments were released directly on DVD up until 2014.
In the first film, a group of six friends are stalked by One Eye, Saw Tooth and Three Finger. Chris Flynn (Desmond Harrington) is forced to make a detour after a chemical spillage on the road he had been travelling. He then makes a wrong turn and crashes into another vehicle which had already fallen victim to one of the family's road traps. Whilst searching for help the group discover the cabin belonging to the three inbreds.
The second film introduces a larger family of inbreds: Ma, Pa, Brother and Sister. Three Finger and the Old Man are the only returning characters from the first film. This time, the inbreds hunt down a group of reality show contestants who are taking part on a survival reality show. The Old Man from the first film plays a much more dominant role in this one. It's discovered that he is in fact affiliated with the inbreds, completely changing the meaning of his role in the first movie.
Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead features a group of prison officers and escaped convicts after the returning character Three Finger caused their transport bus to crash, allowing them to escape and take the surviving prison officers, Nate (Tom Frederic) and Walter (Chucky Venn) prisoner. Whilst fleeing, the convicts and their prisoners stumble across both a lost truck which had been transporting thousands of dollars, and Alex Hale (Janet Montgomery), who has been lost in the woods after Three Finger killed the rest of her friends. Eventually, Three-Toes (Three Finger's son) is killed by Nate and Alex. Three Finger finds Three-Toes's severed head, which makes him furious. He creates a shrine and leaves the head on display in his cabin. The one surviving convict, Brandon, convinces Nate that he was innocent all along, and in turn is allowed to go free. Sometime later, Nate greedily returns to collect the remaining cash from the armored truck. Brandon appears and betrays Nate, shooting him in the back with an arrow. While Brandon is collecting the cash, a cannibal comes up behind him, holding a crude club, and kills him. The identity of the cannibal is unclear. Alex is the only survivor of this film. It was revealed in the director's commentary for Wrong Turn 4 that Three Finger died in the ending of Wrong Turn 3.
