Magnificent Seven.jpg

There are no original ideas left. Every story that can be conceived already has been.

Wrong Turn

Your magnanimous movie maestro has just returned from a road trip from his home in the Deep South all the way up to the wild suburbs of Illinois. Next week he’ll be headed all the way to Atlanta for DragonCon. What better way to celebrate all this time on the open road than by watching all six of the Wrong Turn movies?

Wait… there are SIX of these things? Oy. You’d think after four wrong turns they’d be going the right direction again.
