Starting point is 00:00:17 of alcohol no no charracki Thank you to Liquid Ivy and prize picks for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Man, but you're right, it was slated as such a longer movie that is just making me. Interesting, right? We didn't do that thing that we do, right?

Starting point is 00:00:41 Where we watched the wrong one? Yeah. You think there's two wrong turns? I don't know, we just saw that other thing, so that kind of stressed me out. God. well we did at least at least it won't be as bad a sequel right god god bless america wrong turn well look up the runtime 2003 but then the other one hold on we might be right because wrong turn what's the next one 2021 yeah but look up wrong turn 2003 runtime

Starting point is 00:01:12 125 oh so we saw the wrong runtime of the other movie of the other one okay we and I both did that guys we just watched wrong turn 2003 not to be confused not the 20 21 one okay this yeah 2003 one yeah I would say short and painless but it was short and a lot of the scares a lot of scares and I loved the timing yeah I loved how short that was I liked a lot of the setting I do wish we got to know more about the Raleigh situation, but we will be talking all about that. If you guys are listening to us, five stars on Apple, Spotify, wherever you are. Don't forget, RejectnationShop.com. Pick yourself up a sweater, if you haven't already. What are you doing?

Starting point is 00:01:58 Yo, we just watched wrong term. We've watched a lot of horror movies together. Yeah. We usually do franchises. Sometimes we do these one-offs. How did you feel this kind of stacks up to the movies we've been watching? I got to tell you, this one

Starting point is 00:02:12 I mean, it's kind of moving a little bit to the top, except for the fact that I wanted those, the characters to be written a little bit smarter in the beginning, but that ending really paid off for me. But it did feel very 2003, the way the characters were written like of that time. You're right.

Starting point is 00:02:28 Oftentimes, it would be like damsel in distress. But then there's the one strong woman or whatever. And then the guy who's like, I've got to get to work or whatever, but they kind of don't know what. Very much of the times. but I'm with you this is I thought this was excellent yeah I really loved that we decided to deviate away from like first we're in the woods then we're in that house of theirs which is creepy yeah and I'm thinking to myself all right we've seen this a bunch of times cabin in the woods evil dead yeah nightmare on elm street is a little different but we're stuck in the house for some of them yep Friday 13th we're just like in the house we board in the house and I'm

Starting point is 00:03:11 in the houseboard and so i was like okay how long are we staying here for and then when we get to the watch tower i'm like oh this is new this is kind of cool and then when we have that long ass sequence in the trees yeah i'm like that is baller different different and not like anything we've ever seen and we've watched a lot of horrors not something like you guys have seen because you probably watch more yeah but nothing we've reviewed for the channel no no a lot of stuff that is when we both were like yeah we haven't seen that before and it did really pick up and that was the first character move in the trees because i was thinking how do we find a weapon how do we get rid of this i mean if they can shoot us in the trees they can see us and then that guy pulling that branch back was the first

Starting point is 00:03:56 step towards now we're getting into that smart writing for them where they might actually be to take care of these guys which i found very exciting there was a lot of things that ended up not mattering and I'm trying to decipher whether I like that or not like we found the radio we radio the cop and I guess we ended up needing him for his car but it's kind of like that doesn't really pan out for more than 30 seconds we see his gun that doesn't end up really mattering we got a pick up shot of that right we got to get to ralee because I'm thinking like oh is somebody going to come looking for him if he doesn't end up there right in all fairness and you guys might be saying this in the comments it was kind of a

Starting point is 00:04:37 a rocky start to this video. We couldn't get audio on it and all this stuff. So maybe in the first five minutes, we got more of an explanation of the Raleigh situation. Yeah. That you and I just kind of were like... And we were still a little anxiety ridden or something. Right.

Starting point is 00:04:50 But I do want to look into that and see. You know, oftentimes when I'm by myself, I'm sure you're the same way, Tara. I'll rewind a movie a hundred times. Oh, for sure. I'm like, wait a second. Because I get so distracted. Me too.

Starting point is 00:05:00 Yeah. But here when we don't do that, sometimes you don't get the luxury of seeing like, wait, did they more explain that? Or maybe they didn't. I really don't think they did because even when she was walking with him. With Eliza Duccio? Exactly.

Starting point is 00:05:12 And he's like, I got to get to Raleigh. And I thought she was going to be like, what for? She goes, you better hurry. Exactly. That was it. He never said what it was for. We just only knew that he is a doctor because he on cadavers. But he takes that phone call early on, and then it dies on the phone.

Starting point is 00:05:32 So I don't know, maybe he had said something that way. If we listen back, we're like, oh, we pick things up. I did think him. being a doctor would play more into this as well. He just is able to identify that it's a minx, the animal. But I thought later on somebody was going to be injured or he was going to have to be like punch, choke somebody out and be like, I know because of where the trachey hits some kind of, you know, some kind of medical jargon.

Starting point is 00:05:52 And we didn't get that either. So I do feel like they did lay out either a lot of red herrings, which is cool, or just things that didn't play out that maybe got caught on the cutting room floor, got left on the cutting room floor. Right. I'm not exactly positive there. But in general, I love a movie that doesn't overstay. It's Welcome.

Starting point is 00:06:10 This was 85 mother-offin minutes. They got in. They got out. They got in and out. And we like the characters. I love Emmanuel Shrieky and her hubby or her future hubby. Yep. That romance, you know they're going to die immediately.

Starting point is 00:06:22 I think that Eliza Dushku and our main dude, they had fire chemistry. We were wrong about them kissing. Kind of talked about that. We were a dangie. Yeah. Yeah, I thought so too. Yeah. But there was enough love in this.

Starting point is 00:06:34 and I do like the fact that the two strangers are the ones who have to come together and that he doesn't end up leaving her. Yeah. Yeah, it's cool, man. That's cool. I'm looking at the description. It says an indescribable nightmare begins

Starting point is 00:06:46 when a group of young friends is stranded on an isolated road deep in the Appalachian Hills of West Virginia. No hope of rescue. Okay, so that's no reference to our guy, desperate and fearing for their lives, the horror surges. Okay, so I don't think that we know.

Starting point is 00:07:00 I'm going to look up this mofa. Yeah, you should. I mean, yeah, and I also just like the special effects and the makeup in this, especially with the three guys. And like, and the way that the guy, that, uh, I forget the director's name already, but the way that he directed them, exactly, to go like, like, their sounds. Like, their sounds are terrifying. They speak in their own language to each other. And just, we didn't even get, there was one pickup of the weird guy's hand. And it was all. deformed and like it looked like he didn't have fingers and we only got one pickup of that but they just they did a really good job of showing us small things that would freak us out giving us that

Starting point is 00:07:45 information about seeing who these guys are and how they operate and what they sort of feel like and look like but they kept it still a little bit behind the scenes until just we get sporadic moments which really kept that fear I think alive especially when the the smaller brother is chasing us in the trees and you just hear him like it's so grinky and gnarly and then of course he gets hit by a tree falls down and he survives like oh my goodness but that it does leave me wondering when you mention the the falls down and survives yeah it's like what are these things and and are they using the human body parts you know what's

Starting point is 00:08:27 the lore to like you know stay alive for longer to replace things like I I just, I think that there was more to this. Probably their pitch deck would be very interesting because I kind of think they fleshed out even more than we saw. Yeah. And I would be curious because were they eating that? Was it tor? And then why did they end up torturing her?

Starting point is 00:08:48 You know, and then they do survive a lot of stuff. And how are they doing that? Are they supernatural? We have the same kind of questions as we do about Jason, you know? Totally. And I do think they're eating them because I think what they found in that stew was probably human bones. because we saw the teeth, the eyes.

Starting point is 00:09:04 Everything's in the fridge. Why are you separating it? And, yeah, what are you using it for? And what's up with the dolls? That was still a weird thing that we didn't get. I guess they were just things that they got from people's car, so maybe little kids. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:09:20 You want to hear a little bit of trivia? Let's do it. Eliza Dushku did a lot of our own stunts for the movie. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Several of the cast and crew were covered in poison ivy throughout the filming of the movie. This was due to the chairs being placed in what was

Starting point is 00:09:33 thought to be a group of weeds only later to be discovered as a patch of the rash-causing plants. Oh, I would be like, I want a raise and maybe I'll sue later. I'm not going to be that asshole. Have you ever had poison ivy? No, isn't it very painful? It sucks. Yeah. It's very, very common on the East Coast, poison sumac and poison ivy. I don't know many people on the West Coast who have gotten it. No. For us, like the people on the East Coast, especially campers like I was. You get it a lot. Have you had it? Yes, I've had it once. No, you don't. get it a lot.

Starting point is 00:10:04 You get it once and you're like, I don't want that. I don't want it. You don't want it? But there's like certain things you're not supposed to do, but that you could do to get rid of it quicker. Like there's all these different theories about like adding gasoline to the poison ivy, which is why for a second I was like, is he putting gasoline on and different stuff you can do.

Starting point is 00:10:20 There's creams, but it's itchy as fuck and it's painful. Oh God. They had to work through that and all of them had it. That's insane. Well, it says several of the cast and crew. That sucks. Damn. The female lead character.

Starting point is 00:10:33 Jesse Burlingame was named after the heroine in Stephen King's novel, Gerald's game. That's cool. Okay. Nice little nods to Stephen King. Rejectation, summer's coming up fast. Which means we've got beach days, hikes. Maybe one or two outdoor shoots lined up, maybe. And if there's one thing I've learned while getting in shape this year, that hydration

Starting point is 00:10:54 makes a huge difference. Back at the end of January, I weighed 218 pounds. And as of the last time I weighed myself, I am 179 now. Six-pack Greg coming in. I need it for the summer. In all seriousness, liquid IV, and these are bags I bought. They didn't send it. I bought them myself.

Starting point is 00:11:11 Liquid IV has been a constant in my life. I take one at least once a day. The one I mainly take is their sugar-free hydration multiplier, especially the raspberry lemonade, my favorite. It's real simple, you just tear it open. Pour it into 16 ounces of water. You can either shake it, mix it, you're good to go. Sometimes I mix it with my protein shake to get my protein shake

Starting point is 00:11:30 a little bit extra flavor. I especially use it after cardio or during long work days. And even on rest days, when I want to stay sharp, it's just a great pick-me-up. It feels so good. And liquid IV, one of the advantages that they have. They have three times the electrolytes than your leading sports drink, plus eight essential vitamins and minerals.

Starting point is 00:11:47 And it's powered by LIV hydroscience, which basically helps your body absorb everything fast. It's vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and seriously, no artificial junk. So if you're gearing up for a better summer, looking for a good midday pick-me-up. You know hydration's important, the multitude of reasons to support your body

Starting point is 00:12:46 eight rebounds. Basketball terminology. It's that simple. If your picks hit, you win. Even my dumb noggin can keep up with that. And the more picks that you string together, the more money you can make, up to 1,000 times your entry. And what's cool is, it's not just basketball.

Starting point is 00:13:01 You can mix and match players across different sports like baseball, football, hockey, even esports. It's like building your own custom bet.

Starting point is 00:13:39 This first movie doesn't have any nudity. There were attempts to include some nude and sex scenes, typical for the genre, when writers like Adam Cooper, Bill, College, collage, and others were working on different versions of the scripts. For example, opening was changed and had Rich and Haley, dating nude in the river before being killed while having sex on land. Francine and Evan having sex in the woods and not near their crashed cars. Jesse's clothes being torn off from her when she's tied to the bed. That would have been so...

Starting point is 00:14:10 Yeah. Because they didn't seem sexual. No. And more similar scenes, which weren't kept at all in the film. I'm glad. I think they made the better choice. It's like, I get it that when you're in a horror vibe, you're like nudity is, like a given when you're like this is what we're going for like boobs and blood but um i think this

Starting point is 00:14:34 this goes for to show it's a much better movie they made it way more realistically that was unnecessary it is interesting though it's the only one in the franchise that doesn't have sex and nudity and i'm curious what movies are coming next which now maybe where we actually do have a franchise yeah i could being like this is a one-off we thought it i mean i guess at the bottom i'm seeing we're wrong turn to dead end and then there's another wrong turn but I don't know we'll look it up we'll look it up director Rob Schmidt said on the commentary that he considers this film to be his own personal tribute to classics like texas chainsaw massacre and the hills have eyes which is another one of my favorite horror movies I haven't seen that one oh that's one you got to watch creepy I'd watch it with you if they'd let me I haven't seen a while and this is actually the original the hills have eyes which I've never seen I only saw the remake the remake okay the promotion for this film was a minimal due to the MPA deeming the majority of TV spots and trailers too intense for the viewers. Even the commercials that were aired were heavily trimmed. Really? Okay. Well, I get that. The kills were very good.

Starting point is 00:15:39 There's a lot of like blood, gory, the thing through your map. Like, I mean, they get to it right away. And I guess with this, like what could you show? Them in the car, an arrow going by their face and then them in the watchtower and fire. Otherwise, you're probably showing the kills. Throughout the film, Eliza Dushku is wearing a white shirt with the Albanian two-headed eagle emblem. I didn't know what that was. I didn't know that.

Starting point is 00:16:06 Cool. Oh, Eric Andre was considered for the role of three fingers. That's wild. That's the guy who had three fingers. Yeah. Interesting. Chris Flynn's character was known as Adam in the original 2002 script. I wonder why they changed that.

Starting point is 00:16:22 That's interesting. Let's get to some spoiler trivia. During one of the last scenes in the movie, Eliza Dushku actually set actor Julian Richards Three Finger on fire. It was actually. Like, I wonder if they use that shot. I know.

Starting point is 00:16:38 Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When the four are running from the cabin after awakening the mountain men, Desmond Harrington broke his right ankle after landing on the opposite side of a log. This made it very difficult to shoot some of the scenes after his leg,

Starting point is 00:16:53 after his left leg is shot and he has to limp on his right leg. Oh, that's miserable. I guess they must have. Otherwise, we'd have been pissed at production. They must have already shot him getting shot in the leg. Otherwise, they would have switched it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy.

Starting point is 00:17:10 It seems like there was between the poison ivy. Terrible set. Yeah, it seems like a nightmare set. We need a race. This does seem like the early 2000s, though. Yep, you're right. Despite only being credited for. His producing makeup master, Stan Winston, was pivotal, of course, in the key design of the Mountain Men, in particular with Three Finger.

Starting point is 00:17:30 This marks the second last major horror film he has been involved before his death in 2008 at age 62. And his third slasher horror film he had been involved in following uncredited work in Friday 13th, Part 2 and 3, the latter of which he had been a core designer on the original hockey mask of horror icon Jason Voorhees, in respect of mongoloid appearance of Jason for those for those two parts interesting yeah wow and the opening credits on chris car radio a preacher can be heard saying if you plant your seed into your own kin you anger god this is foreshadowing because the movie is about inbred hillbillies yeah you see that um all right this one's long but it has a lot of likes so should i all right yeah let's do it years earlier before wrong turn 3 was made, cult horror director John Carpenter and another writer James Nichols wrote

Starting point is 00:18:25 unproduced horror thriller script titled Prey, which a plot that was very similar to wrong term, wrong turn in the Hills have Eyes 2, 2007. Carpenter described his prey script as a mix of deliverance and Texas chainsaw masker. The main characters of the script were three young women who go on a road trip through the woods in order to get to some mountain, but then they are captured by inbred family as living in the woods and the father of the family wants to use the women as breeders. At one point in the story of the, in the story of the script, the last surviving woman escapes from the inbred family. And just like in this movie, the family members start hunting after her through the woods but end up being killed by her during the hunt and father

Starting point is 00:19:08 of the family getting captured and put in jail. Okay, so I wonder what happened. They probably saw this and they're like, yeah, I guess Carpenter was like, we can't do it. It's too simple. Yeah. Obviously. Yeah. Body count 10. Rich Stoker, Haley Smith, Evan, Francine, Scott, Carly, State Trooper, One-Eye, Sawtooth, Deputy. Yeah, and they were good kills. But actually, we don't know if One Eye and Sawtooth are dead. How do we know? That's the ones in the, they're in, they got blown up, right? Yeah, but we don't know because we see the other guys alive. How do we possibly know? Yeah, I don't know. Okay, those are, that's a little bit of trivia for you guys. I am curious what the wrong term, turn franchise looks like.

Starting point is 00:19:57 Yeah. Should I look at them in and see how many movies we have? Yeah, let's see it. So wrong turn, I'm seeing that there was a 2003 one, which we just want, oh, my God. Wrong turn six, so at least six. Wow. Let's see, wrong turn two is in 2007, wrong turn three in 2009. wrong turn four bloody beginning okay two is dead end three is left for dead four is bloody beginnings

Starting point is 00:20:24 five is bloodlines six is last resort and that was in 2014 and then 2021 there's wrong turn again which must be a remake yeah but also there's two in 2009 oh no no that's a different franchise so okay wow i did not know we were starting franchise i had no idea and also we are also not sure if we're going through all of them or maybe if we're just doing the old one and then the new one maybe I didn't know that this was a franchise either are they related to one another

Starting point is 00:20:56 that one must be a reboot the one in 2021 right? Yeah but I mean the other ones are they related to one another? They must be right and it looks like completely different casts because it says like wrong turn two how could they use that name right? I really don't know

Starting point is 00:21:13 yeah I guess we'll have to we'll see yeah I don't want to spoil anything for ourselves. So maybe not, but one of the things that I will tell you is that the wrong turn, um, 2021 is written by Alan B. Why would he do that? McElroy. Um, Alan B. McElroy. So the, the new one and this one, and this one written by the same person. Oh, see? So there we go. No, we don't know what that means. But not, we don't know if it's the ones in between, but it could be this one and the reboot. Don't know. Maybe. Greg, are we covering all these? We didn't know this a franchise that's what we're talking to them about right now are we doing wrong turn did you notice was

Starting point is 00:21:50 a franchise there's like six we didn't know that i have no idea we kept saying up it's just a one-off we just don't know we'll talk we don't know well to let you guys know how we roll here we don't fricking know let all the moths in greg he doesn't care about us he wants us to get eaten up in here all right he would love it if we got eaten up and just out of here you know oh thank you for being us for what I'm assuming is a horror Thursday I was supposed to tell you guys that at the beginning yeah maybe prepper can add that up it's it's horror Thursday just an FYI I don't know I had that at the good insert baby let's go see Jax all right I don't think they they don't edit the this part so they'll never see it it'll be all right you guys will know in your heart of hearts yeah
