9.3/10

Because in the West Virginia woods, in 240p, everything is a compression error.

Yes, you read that correctly. 240p. The resolution of a potato. The pixel count of a postage stamp. And it is absolutely terrifying.

Turn off the lights. Let the pixels blend into the darkness. And when you see a smear of brown pixels move slightly to the left on the screen, don’t tell yourself it’s just a compression error.

Watching Eliza Dushku run from a deformed hillbilly in 240p feels less like watching a movie and more like finding a corrupted video file on a hard drive you found in an abandoned asylum. Let’s be honest: most 240p versions of Wrong Turn come with audio that sounds like it’s being played through a tin can submerged in water. The dialogue is muddy. The acoustic guitar score is tinny.
