All Copies of Wrong Turn 6 Recalled for an Emergency Image Edit

Published

Wrong

On October 21st, the sixth installment in the Wrong Turn franchise went direct-to-video, titled Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort. After scooping up mostly negative reviews from critics and fans alike, the film seemingly dropped off the face of the earth, and is currently no longer available for purchase outside of high-priced eBay auctions.

What the hell happened, you ask? Well, here’s the story…

Shortly after the release, which saw Wrong Turn 6 hitting DVD, Blu-ray and all major VOD outlets, a court case was filed over in Ireland, the plaintiffs citing invasion of privacy. The suit was filed by the family of 66-year-old Stacia Purcell, a County Wexford woman who went missing last year and whose dead body was subsequently discovered.

As reported by Yahoo, a family photo of the late grandmother is seen 22-minutes into the film, portrayed as a missing 81-year-old man. It was of course tastelessly used without permission, and the family is needless to say unhappy about the damaging depiction of their deceased loved one. The case is currently being contested in court.

In the meantime, 20th Century Fox made the smart move by pulling all existing copies of the film from release, as well as removing it from streaming outlets. For now, Wrong Turn 6 is completely out-of-print, suddenly making it a hot commodity on the home video market. Auctions on eBay have reached as high as $45, and you can expect those prices to go up.

It’s likely that Fox will simply re-edit the film, remove the photograph in question and re-release it at some point down the road, though they haven’t yet announced any future plans.

In Wrong Turn 6, the unrelenting terror starts when an emotionally troubled young man, Danny, inherits an isolated backwoods hotel that may hold the key to his secret past. A trip to the peaceful resort quickly transforms into a blood-soaked killing spree as Danny’s friends are brutally murdered one by one.

Danny discovers that Three Finger and his flesh-eating kin are to blame, but the chilling surprises they have in store for him have only just begun. Danny ultimately learns that he has an unthinkable connection to the clan of hillbilly cannibals, but now that he knows the shocking truth, he will face an even more horrifying choice.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

Published

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
