Pack your map, take the backroads, and head deep into the woods. We're discussing 2003’s Wrong Turn.

This week on The Horror Cut, Stephen and Gary hack their way through the blood-soaked woods. We’re talking gnarly kills, inbred cannibal hillbillies, and the film’s surprisingly tight pacing that keeps you on edge from start to finish.

From practical gore effects to that iconic watchtower scene, we explore why Wrong Turn still holds up as a backwoods nightmare and a cult favorite among horror fans. Is it just another teen-slasher in the woods, or is there something more twisted hiding in the forest?

Tune in -- just don’t expect to make it out alive.

Buckle your seatbelt, keep your eyes on the runway, and whatever you do, don’t mess with fate. This week on The Horror Cut, Stephen and Gary take a hair-raising ride through the death-defying chaos of 2000’s Final Destination.

We’re breaking down the original film that made us all paranoid about tanning beds, plane turbulence, and rogue logs on the highway. From its Rube Goldberg-style death sequences to its twisty take on destiny, we’re diving into the flick that turned the Grim Reaper into the ultimate micromanager.

Is Final Destination a brilliantly original concept that redefined supernatural horror, or just a series of elaborate freak accidents tied together by teen angst? Either way, death has a plan… and it doesn’t like being skipped.
