Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings

In my heart of hearts, I knew the magic couldn’t last forever – falling well and truly down the other side of the bell curve, this is a nasty and mean-spirited series entry that disposes of the sicko sense of humour that elevated the previous two, and instead puts a laser focus on sadism and cruelty which makes much of it unpleasant to watch. Thank goodness the cast of victims are a truly dopey (and obnoxious) bunch which at least takes some of the tragedy from their eventual disposals; the change of locale really does nothing to freshen things up, and just removes the intriguing rural vs urban subtext of the previous entries.
