Synopsis:

This is the scary as hell take WRONG TURN and the X-Files episode HOME. It removes the most bugging pieces and provides you with a nice horror compilation about inbred monsters.

Intentions:

I wanted to create a nice horror fanedit collection for Halloween 2008, uniting on DVD two great plots about inbred monsters. How intention was achieved: the usual way, which was as usual pretty unusual.

Change List:

Wrong Turn: - deleted climbing couple beginning - deleted Scott’s gooftalk all over the first half of the movie - deleted the cliffhanger ending Home: - deleted Scully reading her notes to Mulder at the crime scene - trimmed the black pauses (commercial interruptions) to better fit a continous story - deleted Mulder saying to Scully “I never saw you as a mother.” - deleted pig head on porch - deleted Mulder’s TV antenna trouble and the next mother reference - deleted Mulder and Scully having trouble in getting the pigs out and both of them goofing there - deleted Mulder’s fun surprise at finding the newspaper that states that Elvis is dead - added my own credits.

Additional Notes:

I always liked WRONG TURN and a have a weak spot for this movie. It is frightening, violent and disturbing. And from the first time I watched it, it did not so much remind me on DELIVERANCE, but on the incredible horror episode from X-Files: HOME. When watching it again and reading some reviews about it, I had to discover that a lot of people find it rather bad, most of all because it follows a rather cheap plot and offers no true surprises. It is just another typical B-horror movie. So I thought about getting rid of what was most bugging (especially the lame beginning and the cliffhanger ending) to turn this into a more watchable and straight to the point movie. It is very short and really wastes no time anymore. The deletion of Scott’s gooftalk adds a lot to the atmosphere. But when I was finished, I had the feeling something important was still missing: X-Files: HOME. So I watched it again and decided to make a few edits to it to make it even more dark than it already way by removing the lighter parts from it. I also turned it to 16:9, going scene by scene for the best image presentation to make it appear more modern. And it looks and works just great.
