      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Driving down a West Virginia highway on the way to an interview, Chris Flynn (Harrington) gets stuck in traffic because of a big rig accident miles ahead of him. Deciding to take a detour down a dirt road, he soon discovers that he has definitely taken a Wrong Turn when he plows into another vehicle stuck on the road. As the strangers start comparing notes they realize that it

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a color palette that is fully saturated, with the lush green West Virginian backcountry visually contrasting the creepy storytelling. Fleshtones are naturally rendered and blacks are deep and solid. While the picture is generally sharp, finer details can appear somewhat smeared. Contrast and shadow delineation are quite satisfying. Pixelization can be a bit of a problem, creating a digital appearance, and edge enhancement can be obtrusive at times. (Suzanne Hodges) The disc also includes a modified 1.33:1 (4:3) full screen version of the movie (not reviewed).

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby
