Film Openings - The Wrong Turn

Today watched the film opening of “Wrong turn” and analysed it. I think doing this will help us with our main task of creating a film opening of a teen horror. While analysing this film opening we realised that it contained of the common horror film convention such as the fake scare. This happens when the women almost falls down the cliff, this was shortly followed by a real scare where the male character has been killed and she then begins to be pulled up by an unknown threat in an aggressive manor. The music at this point then became faster as the “baddies” presence became acknowledged by the viewer. The opening ended with the unimportant characters being killed, this happens in most horror movies as a prologue.
Wrong turn is rated 6.0 on the imbd website.


Wrong Turn is a 2003 American slasher film, directed by Rob Schmidt, and written by Alan B. McElroy. The film was shot in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and stars Desmond Harrington and Eliza Dushku. It is the first film in the Wrong Turn franchise which has since grown to include three direct-to-DVD/Blu-ray sequels.
