Are we supposed to root for the killers?
1 November 2023
Danny (Anthony Ilott) and a gaggle of friends arrive at Hobb Springs Resort, which Danny has unexpectedly inherited. The two caretakers - brother and sister Jackson (Chris Jarvis) and Sally (Sadie Katz) - set everyone up for their stay, but what the guests don't know is they are part of the inbred cannibal family and Danny might be related.

So this is how it all ends? I swear the only creative effort put into these films are the title puns. The sixth and final (to date) sequel is just another hillbillies-stalk-random-characters affair. Amazingly, the filmmakers opt to have the least sympathetic victims ever as they are all spoiled trust fund stock brokers from New York. Do you want us to root for the villains? Helmer of 3-5 Declan O'Brien split for greener pastures (seriously, he turned this down to make The Marine 4 & 5) and newcomer Valeri Milev takes over. I wanted to laud the series for finally having a female director, but turns out he is just Bulgarian. Pretty obvious English is his second language when he doesn't demand Jarvis - who gives lots of rants about loving his heritage - use a Southern accent. I will give him credit for one scene where Jackson is teaching Danny how to hunt with a bow and arrow that is crosscut with a bit where Three Finger hunts a cop. Of course, all that credit is revoked after the firehose enema scene.

While watching this one, my mind started to wander and I tried to see if I could remember all of the sequels I had seen over the past month. Okay, Wrong Turn 2 was the reality show one with Henry Rollins. 3 was...ah, dang, what was it...(thinks for like 3 minutes)...oh yeah, the prisoners one. 4 was the prequel in the snow. 5 was...heck...(thinks hard for a minute)...oh yeah, the Doug "You're all doomed" Bradley/Assault on Precinct 13 one. And 6 was...I forget. It is amazing how these films have gotten so far on so little. It is just giggling hillbillies attacking folks in the woods and nothing else. Sign of the times I guess, but it really earns this series the title of laziest horror series ever.
