2003 ’s backwoods cannibal horror picture , Wrong Turn , did n’t shy away from delivering scares , thrill , and vehemence to audiences , but drew the line tonally by cut a attendant scene between Jessie ( Eliza Dushku ) and Chris ( Desmond Harrington ) where the two survivors portion out a kiss .
direct by Rob Schmidt andwritten by Alan B. McElroy , Wrong Turnwas the dealership ’s only theatrical freeing , but sparked a popular , verbatim - to - television series that totals six movies to date . A seventh movie , titledWrong Turn : The Foundation , is slated to release sometime in 2020 from film director Mike P. Nelson . The playscript forWrong Turn 7was also pen by McElroy , who was notably absent from the franchise after the first installment . Other directors , such as Joe Lynch ( Mayhem ) and Declan O’Brien have taken up the mantle , and continued the story that ’s for the most part pore on the cannibal kin that originated with the introduction of three mutate brothers in the first movie : Saw Tooth , Three Finger , and One Eye .

WhileWrong Turnwas a refreshing take on several tired sub - genres , including the cannibal horror movie and the slasher rage of the 1970s and 1980s , it also differentiated itself from the face pack by toning down the sexual content and expressed gore . Likely to keep an roentgen military rank without too much problem from the MPAA , the firstWrong Turnis arguably the tamest in the dealership , as the eternal sleep of the picture — break their direct - to - telecasting release — upped both the graphic sex , nudeness , and violence . In keeping with this toned - down atmosphere that focused more on reference maturation and tense , frightening chronological sequence , Wrong Turndeleted a scene that would have upped the wager for the movie ’s two survivor : Jessie Burlingame and Chris Flynn .
In the deleted scene , " Water Fall " , which is let in in the DVD ’s special features , Jessie and Chris take screening behind a monolithic waterfall after night . At this stage of the moving-picture show , they are the only two survivors . The balance of Jessie ’s friends have been victims of the cannibal brothers , and while Jessie was n’t present to see all their deaths in person , she is clearly traumatise by the ordeal and blames herself . In the scene , she explain to Chris that Carly ( Emmanuelle Chriqui ) gather up her radical of admirer for an off-the-cuff encampment misstep to cheer her up after a sudden break of serve - up with her boyfriend . This was mentioned in the first place in the picture show , but the deleted scene provides more context as to Jessie ’s side of the chronicle , and the painful sensation she ’s experiencing already that is now laced with guilt , as her friends were all slay .
Chris was hurt earlier in the picture show , and they share a moment of tenderness both from Jessie ’s confession and obvious heartbreak and due to her being so caring with him ; she is patch up his wounded leg in the start of the picture . Then , the two buss passionately , and it goes on for a little longer than makes sense . Ultimately , there is no prescribed reason given for the scene ’s deletion . However , it ’s good to take over that it felt out of spot given the residual of the movie . " Water Fall " likely took spot justly after Carly ’s decease , when she , Chris , and Jessiejumped out of a combust radio tugboat , and Carly was decapitated by one of the man-eater . It ’s a raw , emotional moment for Jessie , but her look for solace and comfort in Chris — a valet who is , essentially , still a alien to her — detracts from the strength she exhibits in the last sequences of the film .
Adding a amorous element between Chris and Jessie seems misplaced ; there ’s nothing that says Jessie could n’t be the strong , epic terminal girl with this sexual love connection , but her lineament is strong without it . The notion that she ’s just a person attempt to depend out for her fellow human — not a prospective partner — put up a way for her to , somehow , make her Quaker ' death have more function . She could n’t save them , but she could save herself and Chris , and there ’s no need for additional reasoning there . Notably , both Jessie and Chris surviveWrong Turn , which is a effort given that these types of horror movies often have a gamey body count , few survivors , and further installments in the moving-picture show franchise belt down off everyone .
