“Wrong Turn 8: Final Chapter” (2025) brings the long-running horror franchise to a terrifying and gruesome conclusion. The film returns to its roots, taking place deep in the Appalachian wilderness, where a group of unsuspecting hikers stumbles upon a nightmarish scenario.

The movie begins with a group of friends embarking on a hiking trip to explore a remote section of the Appalachian Trail. Among them are Alex, the adventurous leader; Sarah, his girlfriend; Lucas, a survivalist with a mysterious past; and Mia, a photographer eager to document their journey. Unbeknownst to them, they are entering the territory of the last surviving members of the inbred cannibalistic clan that has terrorized these woods for generations.

As the group ventures deeper into the forest, they begin to experience strange occurrences—missing supplies, disturbing sounds at night, and the feeling of being watched. Tensions rise when they discover an old, abandoned campsite with remnants of a violent struggle. It becomes clear that they are not alone, and that the horrors of the past are still very much alive.

One by one, the friends fall victim to the traps and brutal tactics of the cannibals, who are more cunning and vicious than ever before. The film does not shy away from the graphic violence that has defined the franchise, delivering intense and horrifying kills that will shock even the most seasoned horror fans.

In a desperate fight for survival, Alex and Mia manage to outsmart the cannibals, leading to a final showdown in the clan’s lair—a gruesome underground bunker filled with the remains of their previous victims. The film ends on a bleak note, with only one survivor making it out of the woods, but scarred forever by the horrors they witnessed.
“Wrong Turn: Final Chapter” serves as a brutal and fitting end to the franchise, leaving fans with a chilling reminder that some paths should never be taken.
