Here is everything you need to know about the film, its controversial legacy, and why the "Internet Archive" has become the go-to source for hunting down this piece of mutant horror history. Released on October 20, 2009, Wrong Turn 3 was directed by Declan O'Brien (who also wrote the second film) and starred Tom Frederic, Janet Montgomery, and a pre-fame Tamer Hassan. The plot is absurdly simple: A group of transfer prisoners and their corrupt guards are traveling through the West Virginia wilderness when their bus crashes. Unbeknownst to them, they have landed directly in the hunting grounds of Three-Finger (the main cannibal mutant, though here he has a new actor and a bizarrely different look).

In the vast, blood-soaked landscape of 2000s horror cinema, few franchises are as reliably divisive as Wrong Turn . What began as a tense, backwoods survival thriller with Eliza Dushku in 2003 quickly devolved into a direct-to-DVD gore-fest known for inventive kills, terrible CGI, and a complete lack of theatrical shame. At the center of this chaotic evolution sits Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead (2009).
