1
Picture this, you're headed to a backwoods festival expecting cheap beer, bad costumes, maybe a questionable hookup or two.
2
Instead, you run into a family of deranged cannibal hillbillies, treating the whole town like their personal 24-hour buffet.
3
What starts as a minor arrest quickly spirals into a full-blown nightmare, with a psychotic patriarch pulling strings from a jail cell,
4
and his sons turning the streets into a slaughterhouse.
5
With no power, no backup, and nowhere to run, survival comes down to one thing not being the dumbest person in the room.
6
So lock the doors, watch your back, and don't trust anyone in a mask.
7
We're breaking down the mistakes made, what you should do, and how to survive the hillbilly cannibals in Wrong Turn 5 Bloodlines.
8
Coeds, Billy and Cruz are getting down and dirty in their tent, unaware of the danger lurking just outside.
9
As their hookup continues, three figures armed with sharp implements sneak towards them, taking advantage of the couple's vulnerable state.
10
One of the deformed ghouls unzips the tent and lunges inside with an axe drawn.
11
Billy wastes no time clocking the intruder with a mean left hook, which sends him falling to the ground.
12
Billy and Cruz scramble to cover their shame as their friends, Leta, Gus, and Julian, take off their masks.
13
It turns out the attack was just a harmless prank.
14
No harm done, other than Gus's sore jaw.
15
The gang of friends are taking a break from college to visit the local Mountain Man Festival, a wild Halloween party held each year in the town of Fairlake, West Virginia.
16
As the others show off their traditional mountain man costumes, Cruz and Billy go back inside their tent to get dressed.
17
Meanwhile, a local news team has set up on the street where the festival will take place later that night.
18
The reporter, Colleen, finishes her promo and tells the producers that she's going for a run to clear her head.
19
But as she sprints through the woods in her bright yellow tracksuit, her path is blocked by a leering slob who steps out from behind a tree.
20
Colleen sneers at the guy and changes course, only for another creep brandishing a knife to appear from the other direction.
21
These guys seem to be rocking the mountain man get-ups that are popular with festival-goers, so she figures that they're just messing with her.
22
But after a third ghoul gets in her way, she's had enough, and she tells the costumed freak that she's not afraid of him and flips him the bird, only to have her digit lopped off by a single swipe of the man's blade.
23
It's then that Colleen realizes these are no harmless kids in costumes.
24
In reality, she's run headfirst into three-finger sawtooth
25
and one eye three members of the notorious family of killer cannibals known as the Hitchhikers.
26
As blood spurts from her hand, she runs screaming for help.
27
Now luckily, an older man who is walking nearby hears her cries and comes to her aid.
28
The man leads Colleen off the path as they duck for safety until her attackers pass by.
29
It looks like she's safe for now, except this old man isn't as harmless as he appears.
30
As he leads her deeper into the woods, Colleen is stunned as he swings an axe straight into her midsection.
31
He finishes the job by chopping off one of her hands before calling his boys over to collect the body.
32
And with that, the homicidal family has claimed their latest victim.
33
Alright, breaking news.
34
It looks like the local station is going to need a new field reporter.
35
Right off the bat, Colleen should have realized
36
that it would have taken more than a sassy attitude and a dollar store Kill Bill getup to survive this encounter.
37
Yeah, like her first mistake was underestimating the danger level of her situation.
38
Even if Three Finger turned out to be a drunk, local, and mountain man attire, that doesn't mean he's not a threat.
39
A lone woman encountering a stranger in an isolated wooded area is already in a vulnerable position,
40
even if that stranger doesn't turn out to be an unhinged, murderous cannibal.
41
Still, she's alone and physically outmatched.
42
And when more of these creeps show up, her decision to stand her ground and give them a piece of her mind quickly turns into disaster.
43
Practically speaking, her approach to jogging is the root of the problem.
44
Running alone in a secluded wooded area is asking for trouble in any context.
45
A smarter move would be sticking to a populated, well-trafficked path, or jogging with a partner.
46
If she insists on going off into less controlled terrain, basic safety precautions like pepper spray or a whistle are a must.
47
Ultimately, Colleen failed to grasp the danger she was in until it was too late.
48
By running into the woods, isolated, unprepared, and unprotected, she adds her name to the Hillikers' long list of victims, and she certainly will not be the last.
49
Back at the campsite, the gang is pre-gaming before the night's festivities.
50
Billy whips out a big bag full of mind-altering goodies as Julian fills them in on the festival's history.
51
He explains that when the town was funded, the local miners didn't get along with the people living in the hills.
52
This led to disputes over territory that came to a head one Halloween night, when the town was ravaged by crazed hill folk in an enormous massacre.
53
But strangely, no bodies were ever found, leading to rumors that the missing people were cannibalized.
54
And so, the Halloween tradition of the Mountain Man Festival was born.
55
Somewhere nearby, the Hilliker boys and their twisted patriarch Maynard are carving up the remains of the unfortunate journalist.
56
He warns the boys about the dangers of leaving any evidence of their crimes, explaining how this new hideout is a lot closer to civilization than they're used to.
57
If they're not careful about covering their tracks, they'll have police snooping around in no time.
58
He drives the message home by bashing Sawtooth upside the head with a wrench and leaves his boys to finish their work.
59
Now, as it turns out, Maynard's paranoia about the cops is well-founded.
60
Sheriff Angela Carter and her deputy Kevin Biggs are patrolling the area in preparation for the festival.
61
As they brace for a night of drunken disorderly teens, the sheriff gets a call from her husband, Jason.
62
He's taking the afternoon off work and promises to stop by the station later with a tray of lasagna.
63
With their dinner plans set, the officers continue their patrol with no idea of the chaos that's about to unfold.
64
Further down the road, Billy and the others are cruising towards the festival in his BMW, but as they come around a bend, he swerves to avoid a man who steps onto the road,
65
sending the car careening into a tree.
66
The kids emerge from the wreck unharmed, but the car is completely totaled.
67
To make matters worse, the old man who got in their way is now laying face down on the blacktop.
68
Billy is certain he swerved in time to avoid the guy and goes in for a closer look.
69
As Billy, Gus, and Julian approach, the man suddenly springs to life, slashing Billy's arm with a knife.
70
It's Maynard, and his boys are waiting just beyond the nearby tree line to spring a trap.
71
But before they can act, the sheriff and her deputy arrive on the scene to find Billy
72
and his friends kicking the ever-loving crap out of the old man.
73
The cops break up the fight and take everyone into custody, and soon after, the deputy discovers Billy's big bag of party favors in his wrecked car.
74
It looks like someone's gonna have some explaining to do back at the station, as the kids and Maynard are loaded into a paddy wagon, the sheriff leaves Kevin behind with Billy's car to wait for the tow truck,
75
and left all alone at the scene, Maynard's deranged sons waste no time finishing off the deputy in gruesome fashion.
76
Okay, this festival getaway is off to a rough start.
77
Billy wrecking his car was bad enough, but now he and his friends are headed down to the station after scrapping with this crazy old man.
78
But perhaps worst of all is his decision to treat his Beamer like a rolling evidence storage locker.
79
the car is totaled, you can pretty much throw your plans for the weekend out the window.
80
And that goes double for your little bag of goodies.
81
Billy's cruising around with enough party favors to land him multiple life sentences in a state like West Virginia, so before he does anything else, the first order of business is to ditch the stash before the cops arrive.
82
Toss the bag in the trunk, or better yet, into the nearby woods, and then worry about checking on the old guy you definitely didn't just run over.
83
Without illicit substances drawing your credibility into doubt, you might even convince the sheriff that this old coot was the aggressor, and avoid arrest altogether.
84
Then again, maybe not.
85
This crack team of black country law types doesn't exactly seem like the smartest bunch.
86
Take the deputy, who sees three armed hillbillies running around him and responds with a wait-and-see approach.
87
By the time they've knocked and fired two arrows into his legs, he still hasn't found the sense to draw his service weapon.
88
In the end, Deputy Kevin dies with his pistol still in his holster.
89
So chalk this up as the least trigger-happy cop in history.
90
If he wasn't going to defend himself, he could have at least used his final moments to get on the radio and warn his boss about what was coming.
91
But one way or another, the sheriff will soon learn that trouble is just getting started.
92
As night falls and the festival begins, Billy, his friends, and Maynard are all behind bars at the police station.
93
Billy gets his knife wound, stitched up by the local doctor.
94
The reality of the situation begins to set in for the others, and Cruz is worried the arrest will mean losing her scholarship or worse, getting kicked out of school entirely.
95
With his friends' futures on the line, Billy decides to step up and take one for the team.
96
He explains to the sheriff that the drugs were all his, and that the rest of them had nothing to do with it.
97
Since she needs to free up cell space for the rowdy festival crowd, Sheriff Carter reluctantly agrees to release the others while Billy stays behind.
98
Cruz, Lita, Gus, and Julian leave and check into a nearby hotel, promising to bring Billy some dinner later that night.
99
Meanwhile, Maynard tries his hand at sweet-talking the sheriff for an early release.
100
When she refuses, he asks if he could at least be moved to another cell, away from the passed-out drunk occupying the cot in his current one.
101
But the hard-nosed sheriff ain't hearing it and returns to her desk to get started on the paperwork.
102
Now, out on the the local news team is baffled by their colleagues' tardiness.
103
It's not like Colleen to disappear like this, but they'll have to manage without her.
104
As the broadcast proceeds, the Hilliker boys slip into the festival crowd.
105
Their disfigured looks blend right in among the other deranged hillbilly costumes as they begin searching the area for their pa.
106
Now at the station, Sheriff Carter has uncovered Maynard's true identity in the police records
107
and sees that he's actively wanted for murder.
108
She quickly rings up the U.S.
109
Marshals' service and they tell her
110
that they'll have a transport there there to pick up the dangerous fugitive by 10 a.m the next morning.
111
When she tells her prisoner the news, Maynard gloats that she won't live long enough to see him off.
112
Now across town, the boys are hard at work helping their father make good on his threats.
113
Like first, they bring down a cell tower with their massive farm truck, knocking out phone service to the entire area.
114
Next, they pay a visit to the local power station.
115
Using bolt cutters to get through the gate, they head inside and disable the town's power.
116
Assuming they're just drunk kids up to mischief, the station's lone guards spots them on the security feed and rushes to their location.
117
This mistake quickly proves fatal as the boys introduce him to an electrified transformer,
118
and with that, it's lights out for the bumbling guard along with the rest of the town.
119
Alright, talk about a shocking turn of events.
120
Once Sheriff Carter realizes the creepy old guy she's babysitting is actually a high-value wanted murderer, she needs to rethink her entire strategy.
121
This is no longer a wait for the US Marshals in the morning situation.
122
It's time to circle the wagons.
123
Turning your teenage prisoners loose and carrying on with paperwork is basically inviting a tragedy.
124
The smarter move is to call every available deputy back to the station, double up on watches, and lock the building down like a temporary fortress.
125
You don't assume you've got until 10am, you assume someone is already on their way to make your night a living hell.
126
Meanwhile, across town, the electrical station guard is operating under the wildly optimistic belief
127
that he's dealing with a couple of drunk idiots from the festival, cutting through a fence for fun.
128
Even if that were true, the correct response to multiple intruders breaching critical infrastructure is not grab a flashlight and go handle it solo.
129
This is a call for backup scenario, full stop.
130
At minimum, you alert authorities and wait for reinforcements.
131
If you're hell-bent on handling it alone, don't do it completely unarmed against multiple unknowns in a dark industrial environment.
132
God damn it!
133
Instead, he charges in alone and ends up as a highlight on the workplace hazard awareness video.
134
And for what?
135
They're definitely not paying him enough to warrant a showdown with these three armed intruders in close quarters.
136
Better to report the problem and stay alive long enough for someone qualified to handle it?
137
Yeah, by skipping that step, he essentially fast tracks the hillbillies' plan.
138
No power, no communications, and no one left to warn the rest of the town
139
that things have officially gone off the rails.
140
Maynard lets out his ghoulish laugh as the lights go out on the police station.
141
He says his boys are coming for him, which means the sheriff and the other prisoners are living on borrowed time.
142
By now, the drunk named Moze has woken up and he's pretty freaked out by his cellmate's threatening vibe.
143
Sheriff Carter unlocks the cell to release him, but Moze offers to stick around the station to lend a hand.
144
With all the deputies busy with the festival, the sheriff might need backup if her crazed prisoner starts acting up.
145
As Moze retrieves some flashlights from storage, the sheriff tries to reach one of her underlings,
146
Biggs on the radio, but Biggs is busy handling some community relations efforts, and none of the other deputies are responding either, so it looks like Sheriff Carter is on her own.
147
At the motel, the gang is making the best of things in the power outage.
148
Cruz decides to bring Billy that dinner they promised him.
149
With nothing but a dim flashlight to guide her, she makes her way towards the police station.
150
The festival crowd seems to have disappeared, except for a single creepy mountain man in a child's mask.
151
Cruz turns to run, but the creep chases her through the deserted streets.
152
Back at the hotel, Julian has had enough of playing third wheel to Gus
153
and Lita and decides to pay Billy a visit as well.
154
On his way out, he carelessly tosses his hunting knife onto the motel room floor.
155
Meanwhile, Three Fingers' little game of hide-and-seek has reached an end, as Gus is accosted by some local punks with a paint-filled water balloon.
156
The degenerate mountain man is one block over slicing Cruz's guts to ribbons.
157
Okay, looks like Billy isn't getting that dinner after all.
158
heading out alone into unfamiliar streets right after the power and cell service mysteriously die is already a massive error.
159
But what really seals it is the lack of coordination.
160
If Julian is just going to visit Billy himself a few minutes later, why not go along with Cruz in the first place?
161
From his encounter with the locals and their paint balloons, it's clear that cannibals aren't the only troublemakers prowling the streets tonight.
162
Better to stick together for some strength in numbers type activities.
163
Instead, Cruise goes solo and Julian lags behind, creating two smaller, easier to pick off targets.
164
Then, Julian compounds the issue by dropping his hunting knife on the motel floor like a used candy wrapper.
165
You don't abandon your one and only defensive tool right before walking into a dark deserted street during a blackout.
166
Even if he's not exactly Rambo, having something beats showing up empty-handed when things inevitably go sideways.
167
Meanwhile, the broader situation is screaming for caution streets, no power, no phones, and a suspicious lack of festival activity.
168
The right move here is for everyone to stay put, lock the doors, and wait for daylight or official guidance.
169
Instead, the group ignores the signs of danger and keeps splitting up for side quests.
170
The result is predictable, multiple isolated groups against, and a family of deranged killers and a rising body count.
171
Julian arrives at the station to find that Cruz never came by with Billy's meal.
172
Maynard immediately starts threatening everyone again, so Julian decides to stick around and lend hand-to-hand in case things take a turn for the worse.
173
Back at the motel, Leta and Gus are making the most of their time alone.
174
After they're done canoodling, Leta hops in the motel's surprisingly spacious shower, while Gus enjoys some takeout in bed.
175
But his meal is soon interrupted by a knock at the door.
176
He opens it to find One-Eye standing outside and, thinking that he's just some drunk local, tells him to buzz off.
177
But the knocking continues despite his warning and now Sawtooth has joined the party.
178
The homicidal brothers quickly overpower Gus and force their way inside the room.
179
Alita hears the ruckus from the restroom and gets dressed in a hurry, and she carefully peeks through the bathroom door and doesn't like what she sees.
180
So, shutting the door behind her, she looks around for something to use as a makeshift weapon, finally settling on a bar from the towel rack.
181
Then she hides behind the bathroom door as One-Eye barges in and starts rifling through the medicine cabinet.
182
With the element of surprise on her hand, she bashes the intruder over the head and makes a break for it, but a blow from a flimsy towel bar has little effect on the creep,
183
and One-Eye easily takes her to the ground.
184
All right, nothing like some uninvited guests to spoil the mood.
185
Gus is basically asking for trouble by opening the door to strangers, not once, but twice.
186
First knock?
187
Fine, check it out.
188
If you see a sketchy guy, tell him to get lost.
189
That's where it should end.
190
But the second knock?
191
Better to simply ignore the problem and see if it goes away.
192
Opening the door again just gives the situation a second chance to go bad, which it immediately did.
193
To her credit, Leta recognizes that something's wrong and tries to arm herself.
194
The towel rack?
195
Yeah, if you're locked in a bathroom, you've got access to one of the most reliable blunt force options available.
196
The toilet tank lid.
197
It's heavy, solid, and actually capable of doing some real damage.
198
Like a quick blow to the head with this porcelain equalizer.
199
Should be enough to take down any attacker and buy yourself some time to escape.
200
Or better yet, don't attack at all!
201
Look, they don't call him one eye for nothing.
202
This guy isn't the most observant, and he doesn't seem to see her crouch behind the bathroom door.
203
Instead of diving at him with a flimsy weapon, all Leta had to do was stay quiet and wait for him to leave instead!
204
But she turns a stealth situation into a confrontation, gives up her position, and ends up in a fight she was never equipped to win.
205
As Leta struggles on the floor, she catches a lucky break.
206
Julian's hunting knife is still lying there, and she manages to stab One-Eye and bolt for the door.
207
Meanwhile, Billy is growing more and more concerned by Cruz's unexplained absence.
208
It seems like she's finally arrived when there's a knock at the station door, but it's just Sheriff Carter's husband, Jason, stopping by with some candles.
209
As the sheriff fills him in on the details of her crazy night, Jason encourages his wife to kick off work early and leave one of his deputies in charge.
210
She explains that she can't get a hold of any of them, and besides, she needs to stick around and keep an eye on this dangerous fugitive.
211
Right on cue, Maynard chimes in with another overtly threatening remark, and Jason decides to leave his wife to her business, promising to return soon with some sandwiches.
212
Elsewhere, Maynard's boys are up to their usual antics.
213
They've got Gus tied up in the back of their truck, and they're giving his legs a tune-up with their sledgehammers.
214
Later on, Maynard is overjoyed to hear the sound of the truck horn outside the police station.
215
As the sheriff watches through the window, the boys dump Gus into the street and drive off.
216
Julian mows and the sheriff rush outside as he screams for help, but they're too late.
217
The Hillikers bring the truck back around to pancake their latest victim before driving off.
218
Alright, the missed opportunities are really starting to pile up.
219
First there's Lita.
220
Just when it seems like she's finished, she miraculously gets her hands on a serious weapon and lands a hit on her attacker.
221
And while one little poke might be enough to secure her escape, she and her friends are far from safe in the long run.
222
Lita, when life hands you a hunting knife, you finish the job.
223
Or at least take out one eye's remaining peeper to reduce his threat level.
224
Then we've got the sheriff's husband, Jason, who apparently never learned how to read a room.
225
The power is out.
226
All the deputies are AWOL, and your wife's only backup for guarding a homicidal fugitive is the town drunk?
227
Better just drop off some candles and bounce.
228
But if Jason had hung around the station for five more minutes to see what happened to Gus, he would know that the last thing they need are some PB&Js.
229
Stick around and help secure the building, keep eyes on the prisoner, and make sure your wife isn't outnumbered by whatever chaos is clearly unfolding outside.
230
Because now that the boys have brought the fight to the station, things are only gonna get worse.
231
Sheriff Carter and Mose peel Gus off the street as Julian retches at the sight of his friend's mangled body.
232
It's clear now that Maynard means business, so the sheriff releases Billy from the cell next to the lunatic.
233
Next, she deputizes the three men and hands them shotguns.
234
She tells Billy and Julian that if they help her, she'll do what she can to get them a light sentence for their earlier crimes.
235
Billy wants to leave and look for crews, but the sheriff insists that they stick together and wait for help to arrive.
236
She explains that their attackers want them to split up, making them easier to hunt.
237
The phone lines are still down, but Moe's recalls seeing a shortwave radio in the junk shop across the street, and the shopkeeper even has a backup gas generator to operate it.
238
So while the others stay behind to guard the station, Sheriff Carter decides to head across the street and used the radio to call for help.
239
Maynard immediately points out the stupidity of this strategy and what happened to sticking together?
240
Nevertheless, the sheriff charges ahead with her new plan.
241
After busting through the glass door to get inside, Carter locates the generator amongst the junk in the store, but the noise from her break-in attracts some unwanted attention as
242
Three Finger grabs a cardboard cutout of the store's owner and follows her through the open door.
243
In the store's back room, the sheriff is gassing up the generator when she hears a deranged laughter coming from somewhere in the aisles.
244
She answers with a shotgun blast in the direction of the sound, but upon further investigation, she sees that she's only managed to take out the cardboard cutout.
245
The sheriff shakes off this distraction and heads back to the storeroom to fire up the generator.
246
With the radio up and running, she quickly makes contact with the amateur radio enthusiast in New Hampshire named Teddy, and she explains the severity of her situation to Teddy,
247
asking him to get in touch with the Virginia State Police to send backup.
248
Unfortunately, it is unclear if Teddy believes her story, and before she can spend any more time convincing him, the sound of a shotgun blast rings out from across the street.
249
Alright, it looks like the reality of the situation is finally settling in for Sheriff Carter and the others.
250
The strategy of staying together and locking down the station is honestly her best call yet.
251
Or it would be if she had actually stuck to the plan.
252
Believe it or not, contacting a random stoner on the radio isn't exactly a surefire way to secure backup.
253
And while she's messing around in the thrift shop across the street, there's no one left to guard the station except a couple of hastily deputized prisoners.
254
So what's the best move here?
255
Option one, stick to the plan and stay put.
256
Once the festival wraps up, the real deputies are bound to return to the station.
257
With some actual trained personnel on the scene, the odds of holding the location until the marshals arrive in the morning go up significantly.
258
Or if you simply don't think waiting around for help to arrive is the move, there's option two.
259
Figure out who you're trying to reach on the radio before rushing across the street.
260
Surely a town with a robust police department also has fire or EMS services?
261
Yeah, attempting to reach other first responders on the radio instead
262
of just calling out at random could help to even the odds.
263
In a pinch, a crew of firefighters would make better deputies than some old booze hound
264
and a teenage hunter as Thompson wannabe.
265
Instead of using her head, Sheriff Carter lets panic dictate the game plan.
266
Now she'll have to deal with the consequences as the cannibals ramp up the chaos.
267
Leta makes it back to the station after her close call in the motel, but when she knocks, trigger-happy Mose blasts a hole clean through the door.
268
Leta dives onto the sidewalk to safety and lands just inches away from the blood-soaked gurney where Gus's body is stashed.
269
Billy rushes outside to bring her into the station.
270
The racket sends Sheriff Carter running back as well, and Mose apologizes for his itchy trigger finger.
271
With Panic now settling in, Maynard makes her an offer.
272
If they let him go, maybe they'll live to see the morning.
273
If not, his boys will slaughter every last one of them.
274
But nobody is interested in cutting a deal, and Billy makes an impassioned speech about heading out to look for Cruz.
275
Moved by his words, the sheriff hands him a shotgun and sends him on his way.
276
Julian decides to go with him while Lita and Mose stay behind at the station.
277
The boys sweep the pitch-black streets for their missing friend, but there's no sign of Cruz anywhere, and before long they hear the familiar sound of laughter coming from somewhere in the darkness.
278
As the laughter draws closer, they run for cover in a nearby alley.
279
It's here that they spot Cruz's lifeless body, and as Billy collapses in grief, Three Finger pops out from around the corner.
280
The boys chase after him, running straight into an ambush from the demented brothers.
281
After a short struggle, both Billy and Julian lay unconscious on the pavement, and Billy awakes sometime later to find out that he's been buried up to his neck in a soccer field,
282
with Julian lying chained up next to him.
283
The two begin screaming for help, but the only answer comes from Threefinger, who's riding towards them on a skid steer equipped with a snowblower attachment.
284
The crazed cannibal takes a painfully slow lap of the field
285
to taunt his victims before giving the sports complex a fresh paint job.
286
Alright, this is basically a masterclass in how to take a bad situation and aggressively make it worse.
287
Start with the sheriff handing Billy a shotgun and sending him into a blackout to play hero.
288
You've got a confirmed killer in custody, no deputies, no power, and your solution is to arm a stressed out college kid and his buddy with police issue firearms?
289
Absolutely not!
290
The only correct move is to keep everyone inside, lock the place down, and keep your guns pointed at every door and window.
291
For his part, Billy needs to pump the brakes on the whole rescue mission idea.
292
Like sure, his girlfriend is missing and there are homicidal mountain men roaming the area, But charging out there with nothing but a shotgun and an attitude isn't gonna help anybody.
293
Maynard's boys are focused on freeing him at this point, meaning that the best way to ensure her safety is to keep it
294
that way by staying there to reinforce the building and not abandoning it for a suicide mission.
295
Kudos to Julian for agreeing to back him up though.
296
Unfortunately, two heads are not better than one in this case.
297
Once they spot Cruz's body, it's time to cut their losses and retreat back to the station.
298
But they allow themselves to get drawn into the obvious ambush, losing their edge and weapons in the process.
299
By the time Billy wakes up buried up to his neck, his fate is already sealed.
300
But Julian just might have a shot at survival.
301
He's got a lot of slack on that chain attached to his ankle.
302
If he can maneuver his way in front of the three-fingers skid steer
303
and feed the chain into the teeth of the snowblower, I mean, he might be able to break free and jam up the mechanism at the same time.
304
It's risky, but it beats lying down and waiting for the inevitable.
305
With the would-be heroes officially off the board, the sheriff is even more shorthanded than before, And back at the station, the situation is only getting worse.
306
The sheriff decides that it's finally time to send someone for help, and that someone is the town drunk, Moe's.
307
Meanwhile, Mainers whispers an offer to the terrified Lita.
308
If she helps him escape, he and his boys will definitely leave her alone.
309
If not, she's sure to die as his offspring's campaign of terror continues.
310
Moe's heads to the festival grounds to look for the missing deputies.
311
There's no sign of the killers on the highway, and things are off to a great start, until he runs over a length of razor wire and careens into a ditch.
312
So much for the rescue mission.
313
Battered and bloody after the crash, Mose awakes to find himself tied up in the clutches of the Hilliker boys.
314
He's been taken to the thrift store, which they plan to remodel with some gasoline and explosives.
315
By now, the sheriff realizes Billy and Julian aren't coming back.
316
Leta makes one final attempt to convince her it's time to go, but the stubborn cop refuses to leave until she sees Maynard face justice.
317
Across the street at the thrift store, the boys load Muse into a five-gallon drum and set the structure ablaze.
318
Alright, hang on a second.
319
You've had a working vehicle parked outside this entire time.
320
Forget waiting around for help to arrive as the body count rises.
321
It's time for a road trip.
322
Load the prisoner into the back of your Jeep and take off for the next town over.
323
The Hilliker's old farm truck is great for running down pedestrians, but it's not going to win any road races.
324
They should be easy enough to shake, and with a competent driver like the sheriff behind the wheel, dodging the minor booby trap should be light work.
325
If you can make it to the neighboring police station, your problems are all over.
326
Stash Maynard in a holding cell and return home with reinforcements to deal with his boys.
327
But hey, maybe the sheriff doesn't think that transporting her prisoner is worth the risk.
328
Still, you can't send Moes out there as your last hope for rescue.
329
The guy was passed out drunk in your cell an hour ago.
330
Even stone-cold sober, is this really the guy you want to hand your literal keys for survival?
331
Leta is all but begging to get out of here.
332
Send her on her way and hope that she has enough sense not to plow over a tripwire at full speed.
333
Sheriff Carter hears Moses' anguished screams across the street and runs outside to investigate, but just before leaving, she hands Leta a gun and tells her to shoot anyone who may come through the door.
334
The sheriff reaches the front step of the thrift store just as a fuel tank inside ignites, resulting in a massive fireball that launches her back to the side of the street.
335
Leta has Maynard in her sights inside the jail, but the sweet-talking maniac finally convinces her to release him from his cell.
336
Once free, he makes good on his promise to leave her alive.
337
Unfortunately, he also puts both of her eyes out with a letter opener.
338
As the freshly blinded girl stumbles into the street, the sheriff pulls herself off the pavement.
339
That's when Maynard emerges from the jail with a pistol in his hand, but Carter quickly draws her shotgun and tags him in the shoulder before he can do any harm.
340
She then leads Leta and her wounded prisoner back to the jail, where he's returned to the safety of his cell.
341
Alright, for a sheriff who supposedly likes to do things by the books, Carter has taken some pretty stupid risks.
342
For starters, handing a terrified girl a pistol and leaving her in charge of a dangerous prisoner?
343
That's a surefire recipe for disaster, but telling her to shoot anyone who comes through the door?
344
Aren't her deputies supposed to be coming back at some point?
345
Maybe worst of all, leaving the keys to the cell where Leta can access them is an unforgivably dumb move.
346
Maynard has already been trying to talk anyone who would listen into letting him go, and Leta will clearly do anything to get out of this nightmare.
347
So before taking off to rescue Moze, the Sheriff should be sure to grab her keys, or better yet, follow her original game plan, and stay put.
348
Everyone who has left the station up to this point has died, and Moze's fate was already sealed when you sent him out there to find help.
349
But once the Sheriff leaves the station, Leta misses a golden opportunity to end this once and for all, or at least even the odds.
350
Forget letting Maynard go, why not take him out now?
351
I mean, this guy and his boys have already killed all of your closest friends.
352
Put that pistol to some good use and worry about the consequences later.
353
Whatever the case, it's time for your team to get some points on the board, and with no prisoner to worry about, maybe you can finally talk the sheriff into getting the hell out of here.
354
Sheriff Carter bandages Lita's eyes as Maynard taunts her from his cell.
355
She thinks about finishing him off once and for all, but her sense of justice is simply too strong.
356
Instead, she once again leaves Lita to watch, or, uh, hang out with the prisoner as she takes to the streets.
357
But just outside the station, she makes a shocking discovery.
358
The boys have her husband tied up in the front seat of a car, but when she opens the door to save him, she triggers a trap that slices his midsection wide open.
359
As the sheriff struggles to contain her spouse's guts, Three Finger crashes the scene in his massive truck.
360
Following a brief scuffle, the inept officer is rendered unconscious and dragged off by her inbred attacker.
361
Inside the station, Maynard continues to torture Lita with threats of violence.
362
When she's finally had enough, she struggles towards the door and escapes onto the street.
363
The Hillikers make themselves at home in the station.
364
After releasing their father, the boys suspend the sheriff from the ceiling in one of her own cells.
365
Next, they start lugging in the cans of gasoline.
366
Maynard bids the sheriff a final farewell, but before he and his boys leave, he explains the nature of the trap he's cooked up for her.
367
With her hands secured above her head, all she has to do is bring her heel down to tighten a wire that's looped around her boot.
368
The other end of the wire is attached to the trigger of a shotgun pointed directly at her face, which may be preferable to burning alive in the fire that Maynard is about to start.
369
And with that, he sets his diabolical plan in motion and joins his boys in the truck outside.
370
As flames envelop the station, Maynard smiles with sick satisfaction as a single shotgun blast rings out through the night.
371
Alright Sheriff, you had one job.
372
Keep a known murderer locked up for the night and don't let your entire town collapse into a flaming nightmare.
373
And to your credit, you did keep him locked up for a while.
374
Unfortunately, every other decision you made along the way actively aided in his escape like you were on the payroll.
375
Sheriff Carter, you f*ed up.
376
You had access to a fully functional vehicle and chose to stay put.
377
Powers out, phones are down, deputies are ghosting you
378
and you're sitting on a high-value prisoner whose family is mounting an all-out siege.
379
Time to make tracks for a neighboring town, the state line, or hell, a random gas station with a working phone.
380
Instead, you plant yourself in the one building everyone knows you're in and hope the problem will just go away.
381
Then there's your staffing strategy, which basically boils down to slapping a badge on whoever happens to be conscious.
382
Is the deputy missing?
383
No problem, let's deputize a stoned college kid, arm him and send him into the dark.
384
Need someone to go for backup?
385
Obviously the best candidate is Moe's who was blackout drunk an hour ago and ready for an ill-fated redemption arc.
386
In the end, it's not that you didn't try, I mean you did do your best, but I guess your best wasn't good enough.
387
And all it cost you were the lives of everyone you crossed paths with, your station, and a good chunk of the town, but hey, that's gonna be one hell of a funeral, am I right?
388
Get ready for the 21-gun salute, Sheriff, because you f*ed up.
389
Leta stumbles through the darkness in search of help.
390
She's made it to one of the back roads outside of town.
391
When she hears the sound of an approaching car, she tries to flag down the driver.
392
It seems like the nightmare is finally over, or it would be if these helpful motorists weren't the exact clan of backwoods freaks she was trying to escape.
393
By the time she realizes her own mistake, it's already too late.
394
Leta is along for the ride, as the ghoulish mountain men drive wherever the road may take them.
395
Wrong Turn 5, a cult classic if I've ever seen one.
396
One of the ones that I revisit the most just for the sheer brutality of it all.
397
And I'm the kind of guy that likes to throw popcorn at the scream and yell at the top of my lungs.
398
But hey, if you guys would have done anything differently in today's video, you need to let me know what that would have been down in the comments below.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
