Movies that feel likeWrong Turn (2003)

Chris crashes into a carload of other young people, and the group of stranded motorists is soon lost in the woods of West Virginia, where they're hunted by three cannibalistic mountain men who are grossly disfigured by generations of inbreeding.

If you loved Wrong Turn, the closest films we have are The Innkeepers (2012), Planet Terror (2007) and The Borderlands (2014). All three share Wrong Turn's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Endless (2017).
