Why isn't it called Wrong Turn 7?


The last Wrong Turn was Wrong Turn 6: (Last Resort) from 2014. Why can't they just give this the only logical name it deserves: Wrong Turn 7?

Don't say it's a reboot, that is no excuse to drop the number.

Why was Metallica's 'black album' just called Metallica and not Metallica V?

I mean cause the writer of the original Wrong Turn wanted to essentially start over and do a different take on the 2003 Wrong Turn movie and make it more realistic, in terms of having the people living in the mountains normal looking living their own way of life.

If he called this one Wrong Turn 7 people would expect the shit they got from the other 6 Wrong Turn movies, crazy deformed hillbilly creatures running around easting people.

And like it or not it is a reboot, its taking the franchise name and starting over, its not gonna count all the shitty direct to dvd sequels, its starting over and ignoring all those.

And this actually got a run in theaters, if this was called Wrong Turn 7 theres no chance in hell it would've gotten into theatres.

No matter how you turn in they DO want to cash in on the previous movies.

If it has no crazy deformed hillbilly creatures it shouldn't be called Wrong Turn. If it does it should be called Wrong Turn 7.

Anything else would be the equivalent of bringing out a science fiction movie called "Alien" but without the alien, just luring people in with the name, because they DO expect an alien.

No, I think Hollywood is once again lazy as fuck.

But the film isn't called Deformed Hillbilly Creature, before the original film people wasn't expecting crazy hillbillys.

On the Alien logic, it shouldn't be called wrong turn only if no one makes a wrong turn.

people wasn't expecting crazy hillbillys.


Oh my god, he’s one of them!

reply

I guess those people hadn't seen The Hills Have Eyes.

reply

It made sense in my head 😂

reply

I thought it was called The Village part 2.

crazy deformed hillbilly creatures running around easting people


What's easting people mean? I'm assuming it refers to cannibals strictly eating people from the East.

They did it with Halloween. Guess they're trending.

reply

Were you trying to say "Guess they're trending"?

reply

Thanks. Fixed it.

reply

And Scream now too

reply

Because it's disassociating itself from the previous movies that it has nothing to do with.

reply

But that's exactly what I mean: they DO want that name because it's a guaranteed audience of people who EXPECT crazy deformed hillbillies.

reply

So is your complaint that they aren't deformed?

reply

It's a reboot.

Who cares what they call it. It is the original people who made the first one so they can call it what they want.

Just for you as it is funny.

It's a reboot/remake/reimagining

It all honesty. Who cares.

reply

Because they don’t want people to think it’s another crappy sequel.

reply

It was called Wrong Turn: The Foundation when it was being filmed; guess they thought it would make more $$$ if it appeared to be a remake/reboot/reimagining

reply

Next movie's gonna be the foundation people vs the mutant inbreds.
