A bus transporting a group of convicts from a West Virginia prison is driven off the road by one of our hillbilly mutants. Guard Nate Wilson (Tom Frederic) is quickly overtaken by the prisoners led by crime kingpin Carlos Chavez (Tamer Hassan) and forced to lead them to safety. Along the way they encounter a armored truck filled with money (!) and Alex Miles (Janet Montgomery), a lone survivor of a rafting group who warns them of the bloodthirsty killers.
The pun in the title might be the most amusing thing about this one. The producers must have made quite a bit off Wrong Turn 2 (2007) as they took the next logical step - they cut the budget and went to Bulgaria (which actually doubles for the West Virginia setting quite well). They also pared down the bad guys, giving us only two (!) mutants and one of them is killed early on. One thing that struck me while watching this is we are three films in and the producers haven't even bothered to given the mutants any identities. Like no distinguishing looks (unless you count cleft lips) and not even a nickname slung by one of their prey. Even the laziest '80s horror series wasn't that slack. Apparently the lead mutant is called "Three Fingers" and has been in all three so far; fans probably only got that info from the credits. Speaking of lazy, wait until you get a look at some of the computer effects in this. There is one nighttime driving shot that made me burst out laughing as it looked like an animation GIF. A shame as helmer Declan O'Brien actually does a decent job with mood setting (he returns for parts 4 & 5 apparently).
