Wrong turn 4 Bloody Beginnings

WRONG TURN 4;Bloody Beginnings

 

Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings centers around a group of friends (Terra Vnesa, Dean Armstrong, Tenika Davis, Katlyn Wong, Victor Zinck Jr., Jennifer Pudavick, Ali Tataryn, and Samantha Kendrick) who end up lost on the way to their remote cabin, taking shelter in what seems to be an abandoned sanatorium. Little do they know that the maniacal cannibals the Hillicker Brothers - Saw-Tooth (Scott Johnson), One-Eye (Dan Skene), and Three-Finger (Sean Skene) - are laying in wait for their next meal. Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings is actually a prequel to the whole franchise, starting back in 1974 with a brief history of the Hillicker brothers inside the mental institution, and the chaos they caused within. We then go forward to 2003, when this group of college kids set off on their ill-fated journey.

The scene they were shooting when we arrived was in the auditorium of this facility, when the group is starting to put all the pieces together: that they're being hunted. As they argue in the auditorium, a wrapped-up jacket comes flying off the stage and onto the auditorium floor. Kenia (Jennifer Pudavick) goes to examine it when they discover it's the head of one of their friends. We watch them rehearse this scene a number of times from the balcony, which actually comes into play in bloody ways a bit later.

The Hillicker Brothers find a new meal in Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings

Director Declan O'Brien came over to chat with us for a bit, and he also showed us one of the coolest things in the whole facility: an incredibly old movie projector, which ends up getting used in a scene he described for us.

"They find a reel of film from back whenever. They spool it up and turn it on and there's all this old black and white footage we shot, they're watching all the freaks from 1974, and it really worked nicely."

Three-Finger digs in for a new meal in Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings

Sean Skene: The detail they put into it is incredible. Every single day, they put it on, it takes about three hours, and then put the wig on. At the end of the day, they peel it off, throw it in the garbage, and start from scratch, every single day. In my mind, that's crazy, because I don't have that kind of patience.
Dan Skene: Sometimes we'll go in for just one scene, which requires three hours of makeup.

Scott Johnson as Saw-Tooth in Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings

"This place had like 2,000 inmates, at one point, a year. It started in 1910, so thousands upon thousands of people have lived and died in here, which really gives you a creepy vibe at about 4 AM."

He also showed us the shock therapy room, which plays into a scene at the beginning that gives us more history on the Hillicker brothers, and gave the cast and crew some real-life scares of their own.
