Plot

Daria and Nick ride their bikes deep in the Hobb Springs Bike Trail at West Virginia. After bathing in a small watering hole, they start having sex. Meanwhile, Three Finger is spying on them. After finishing, they ride their bikes again until Nick falls off and discovers that an unknown assailant has shot him in the back with an arrow. Three Finger then kills Nick with another arrow through the face. Daria attempts to flee only to ride into a strip of barbed-wire planted by One Eye and Saw Tooth. Three Finger then decapitates her with a machete.

Danny, his girlfriend Toni, Bryan, his girlfriend Jillian, Vic, Toni's brother, Rod and Charlie go to the Hobb Springs Resort, where they meet the caretakers, siblings Sally and Jackson, who take them in. Agnes Fields, a vacationer, is soon attacked, possibly by Saw Tooth or One Eye, throwing an axe at her. After the cannibals refusal to follow his order, Jackson then snaps her neck, killing her.

Charlie, Vic, and Rod swim outside as Toni takes a bath and Jackson takes Danny out in the woods to hunt. Danny shoots a deer, while Sheriff Doucette is killed by Three Finger nearby. As Toni gets dressed, she sees Jackson wipe off blood from the wall, and she takes Vic along with her to look for Danny. Vic sees Saw Tooth devouring deer flesh, runs away, and falls into a trap with Danny. Vic escapes the trap and seeks help for Danny. Jackson and Vic carry Danny back to the resort, where Sally attends to Danny's wounds and begins to seductively undress him. When Toni walks in, Sally leaves and watches them have sex.

Vic, Rod, and Charlie harass Bryan and Jillian, who were having sex in the pool. The next day, Danny has a proposition at the breakfast table. He wants to fully restore Hobb Springs. All of his friends reluctantly give in but Jillian and Bryan head back to their room, where Bryan discovers that Jillian has been stealing the Staffordshire Collections. Bryan discovers a hidden door leading to a basement which is home to a gigantic, ancient spa. They have passionate steamy sex while Sally watches and masturbates, and the brothers attack them. Jillian is killed, but Sally stops them from killing Bryan.

Sally attempts to have forced sex with Bryan, but Jackson interrupts them as she needs to remain pure for Danny. When he leaves, Sally asphyxiates Bryan by placing a pillow on his face and sitting on it while she masturbates. Jackson and Sally then introduce Danny to his long-lost family of cannibalistic inbreds. They drug him and explain that they must keep the family blood pure through an incestuous mating of Danny and Sally. As Vic hides in the bushes, he listens to the conversation. Saw Tooth captures him and Three Finger cuts his throat and tears his innards out, and all the cannibals feast on it. After drinking Vic's blood, Danny has sex with Sally while family watches.

In the morning, Toni, Rod, and Charlie hear a knock on their door. When he enters, Danny tells them to leave, though he is staying. As they leave, they hide when they find that Jackson is cooking their friends. When they see Jillian's head in the freezer, they scream and flee, only to run into the hillbillies. Toni and Rod escape, but the cannibals capture Charlie and forcefully give him an enema using a fire hose reel and blast his stomach. Toni insists that she and Rod return to help Danny, but Rod tells her that they can send help later. Toni grabs a rifle and goes back for Danny. At the resort, Toni confronts Sally, whom she attempts to kill. Rod then attempts to leave but is captured in a bear trap and pulled to the three brothers, and Three Finger kills him using a knife.

As Sally and Toni fight, Toni burns Sally's face in boiling water and shoots off her leg with the rifle. Danny objects and asks why she is attempting to kill his family. Jackson says she knows too much and pursues her, but Toni stabs him in the eyes with the door keys, killing him. Danny approaches with the rifle aimed at Toni and makes the decision that he chooses his family. Three Finger kills Toni from behind. Later, Danny is shown as a caretaker at the resort. In the last scene, Danny takes Sally from a wheelchair and they have sex as the three brothers watch, indicating they want to continue the "pure", cannibalistic bloodlines.

Production

Director Declan O'Brien was replaced by director Valeri Milev for the sixth installment in the Wrong Turn franchise.[4] 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] 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]
