Plot

The Hillicker brothers Three Finger, Saw Tooth, and One Eye murdered a pair of bikers Daria and Nick in the bike trail at West Virginia. The brothers are under the care of their demented relatives Jackson and Sally, the caretakers of the local medieval hotel resort Hobbs Springs. Danny attends the resort for a family inheritance along with his girlfriend Toni, her brother Rod and their friends; Vic, Charlie, Bryan, and his girlfriend Jillian. Upon arrival, he is welcomed by Sally and Jackson, his cousins, but unbeknownst to his friends, the cannibals and Jackson murdered elderly hotel guest Agnes Fields at the hallway.

Bryan and Jillian, who were shopping for groceries the next day, are informed by Sheriff Doucette concerning the disappearances of the townsfolk including the hotel guests and Agnes. As he drives away, Doucette runs on a roadblock where he is killed by Three Finger. Alarmed by Bryan and Jillian's news of the townsfolk's fate, Danny's friends became suspicious to the nature of his cousins and his interest of staying with his family which began to detoriate his relationship to the group until Toni sent Vic to find him who was hunting with Jackson out in the woods and Vic sees Saw Tooth devouring a deer that was killed by Danny in his hunt. When Danny planned renovating the hotel to re-open next year, his friends reluctantly give in but Jillian and Bryan had enough and began to leave the town while stealing the items from the hotel for money. Upon doing so, they discovered a hidden door to a basement leading to an underground bathhouse where the cannibals attack the couple. Jillian is killed, but Sally stops them from killing Bryan before dragging him to her bedroom and asphyxiates him with her pillow under Jackson's orders.

Now turning against his friends during a heated argument with Toni, Danny is introduced by Jackson and Sally to his long-lost family of cannibalistic inbreds at the clearing. They explain to him, who is a Hillicker, of their origins and the tradition to live the family bloodline. Vic, who overheard their conversation and followed them, was captured by the Hillickers who cuts his throat and tear his innards out for the whole clan to eat for the ceremony. As the rest of the group began to leave the next morning, Toni, Rod and Charlie discovered Jackson cooking meals in the kitchen with dismembered corpses of the victims, including Bryan and Jillian. Horrified, they attempt to escape only to run into the cannibals who kills both Charlie and Rod during their chase after the latter's sister choose to get Danny back. Toni arms herself with a rifle from the armory and enters the bathhouse to confront Sally into manipulating Danny against his friends. As they fight, Toni disfigures Sally and shoots off her leg with the rifle. Enraged over harming his sister, Jackson orders Danny to kill Toni but he lets her go to escape as Jackson pursues her until the latter retaliates by stabbing him in the head with the door keys, killing him. The cannibals surround Toni as Danny leaves her to be killed by Three Finger.

One year after the reopening of the resort renamed as Hillicker Springs, Danny becomes the new manager and continues to relive the Appalchian bloodline by intercoursing with Sally at the bathhouse as the Hillickers watch.

Production

Director Declan O'Brien was replaced by director Valeri Milev for the sixth installment in the Wrong Turn franchise.[4][unreliable source?] Originally served as a sequel to Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines (2012) to complete the prequel trilogy, but was scrapped. Shooting for the sixth film was reported to have commenced in March 2014 in Bulgaria.[5][6]

Release

Fox Home Entertainment released it on home video on October 21, 2014. It grossed over $1 million in combined DVD and Blu-ray sales in North America.[7]

Reception

28 Days Later Analysis reported on it being ten years "since actress Eliza Dushku played Jessie, a woman chased by a gang of cannibal hillbillies. A ten year run with five sequels makes the Wrong Turn film series one of the longest running horror franchises in recent history".[4][unreliable source?] Joel Harley of Starburst rated it 7/10 stars and wrote, "If anything, this is one of the best entries yet."[8] Steve Barton of Dread Central rated it 1.5/5 stars and called it "all crap with a few good moments", though he praised Sadie Katz's acting.[9]

Court case

In October 2014, a court case was filed in Ireland over the unauthorized use of a photo of a woman who went missing in County Wexford. The judge declined to issue a temporary injunction, but the case came back to court in early November 2014. As a result of the lawsuit, distributor 20th Century Fox recalled all DVD and Blu-ray releases of the film with no plan to repress or re-release and have also pulled all online streaming sources.[10]
