How to Beat the MOUNTAIN MEN in WRONG TURN 

How to beat 98% of these types of movies is to just have a normal functioning human brain and not ignore every red flag but alas can't have a movie if the characters are logical

All i could think is that a community like that would have been discovered pretty fast. I'm not an expert on the subject but i'm pretty sure that if you report 6 people disappearing (as mentioned at the start) the search would be pretty intense. I would find it easier to believe if it was in a more isolated area instead of being in the USA.

It makes me so mad that she really let him say none of them have been harmed by the foundation when she had the chance to speak

The idea of not running to the side when an object is heading faster than you is such a stupid trope that makes me immediately lose all investment in the characters/movies that do it

This movie reminds me of backpackers who visit my home country. They over estimate their survival capabilities and under estimate how much locals' help they truly need to survive and make it out alive. Especially missionaries.

Asking Nerd to tell us how to beat the Predator in “Predator” (1987)

Correct me if I’m wrong but regarding the punishment of being blinded THEN tossed into “darkness”…. Does it not completely undermine the punishment to take their eyes before sentencing them to be in the dark forever? I think nothing but darkness is inevitable at that point lol.

I have to be honest. This was not the Wrong Turn I thought Nerd Explains was going to cover. But I'm not disappointed.

Yeah they made a ton of mistakes leading up to capture but once they get brought into the court it’s time to play the long game and play to the community’s rules so that you can hope someone finds you and rescues you.

"Graduates from the Prometheus School of running away from things." *cinemasins approves

Please never change your music. At this point it has a nostalgic feeling that is as part of your channel as your voice.

If Morgan and Samuel just spoke English (as they obviously could) and told them they were taking their friend to town, this all could have been avoided. But yeah, it was definitely a kangaroo court.

Before watching this video, I saw this movie, and I was SCREAMING at how stupid these people were. All of this movie was avoidable with common sense and not staring at the object about to smoosh you (looking at you guy that got crushed by the rolling log).

Tracking tips : 1.never leave the track 2.listen to the local they know better than you 3.don't go too deep in the woods 4.always bring tools just incase 5.dont spilt in a place where you never know 6.bring maps 7.bring pappers spray or pocket nife Speaking from experience

Did Jen not bring up the fact that the ‘foundation’ Pre made and pre planned traps during the time that the hikers were having fun, like laying on the ground to be unseen (camouflage due to the costume thingy’s), or the pungi sticks… THE LOG

Who would have thought being crushed by a tree trap (because of inability to run sideways) would be the best option?

Plot twist: Papa is looking for Eleven

WAIT! Is this a NEW Wrong Turn? What happened to the deformed, inbred cannibal hillbillys??? They were MUCH MORE terrifying in my opinion, especially coz they kinda had super human traits

After watching them run downhill from a log rolling straight down without any of them just side stepping away out of the path of the falling log has made me cheer for the mountain men.

When you take the time to show your protagonists as rude and selfish it eliminates any sympathy for their future terror. Adding stupidity by willfully ignoring repeated warnings and some of your audience are going to be rooting for the monsters. And who goes hiking in Appalachian trails without a weapon!?

Thank you for talking about the snake, im a herpetologist and hate when people assume a brown snake is a copperhead. They probably used a pine snake to be a threatening snake as the entire family that pine snakes belong to are very hissy, bull snakes, pine snakes, and gopher snakes have an organ dedicated to hissing so they use it often, it makes them seem scarier than they are. they also shake their tail to imitate a rattlesnake, but they are of course non venomous

That log is an impossibility. There is quite literally no way for a log of that length and thickness to have been rolled through a forest, hill or no hill. There is NEVER a gap perfectly that wide for a significant distance in woods like that. A log of that size likewise would be ridiculously difficult to move through a forest to get it to that exact location. This means they had to have just been waiting there hoping that out of the ENTIRE FORREST some yuppy hikers would meander by THAT location and just stand there for a bit and also not hear the tree barreling down the hill before it crests the ridge to bear down on them. To top it off they had to hope said hikers would run down the hill instead of to the side. Needlessly elaborate. Just set actual traps like pitfalls into either snakes or spikes, snares/nets, bear traps, whip traps, and swinging mace traps. All are simpler, more likely to be lethal (for the lethal ones) and infinitely more likely to be crippling (for the ones designed to catch rather than kill). Oh, wait THEY DO. The log is just dumb who came up with that? The dudes in ghillie suits didn't actually even seem hostile. I mean a guy ran at them with a weapon (and they had weapons themselves) yet they seemed to be trying to reason with them albeit with a language barrier, yes they made fairly aggressive gestures but you would too if someone just ran at you with a weapon and started yelling at you in a language you don't understand. While a bit odd they would carry a guy like that if they had no means of making a proper stretcher and deemed him mostly unhurt they could very well have just been carrying him back to the road or where they know people park their cars (as the one that doesn't die later claims, no idea if that is a lie or not). In all likelihood they have some sort of agreement with the locals that "outsiders" are to stay on the marked trails and off "their" land. After all the townspeople kept saying to stick to the trails because everywhere else is dangerous. The gate is locked... so just go over it? Or around it. FFS you have been there for long enough you should know how to get out of the camp.

Hey heads up, water makes it impossible for you to hear anything hunting you. bad call. I killed a deer once with a long bow at about 25 feet using a river to cover my noise.

The easiest way to beat Wrong Turn? Don't go hiking.

I’m not sure how many people I speak for, but when I requested Wrong Turn a while back, I was definitely talking about the cannibalistic mutilated hillbillies that set up traps and hunt humans. Now I’m not saying this video wasn’t interesting, because it’s its own thing, but I definitely was expecting one of the other Wrong Turns to make it, considering you usually cover movies with action/horror. Edit: I’m guessing this is a newer rendition of the older movies to some extent, but the older ones were all so much better than this.

I bet there were a few people pretending like the college kids were the "good guys" forgetting this is a horror movie, and good horror frequently tells a moral story Also, the barbarians speak perfect English yet refused to explain themselves in anything other than ancient languages in a critical situation. If anyone recorded that to explain, maybe venerable would see the problem

Recently we had an overnight college camping class where we hiked about 2 miles into the woods and NO ONE mentioned needing anything to cut, pound, saw, nothing. Well, luckily I brought my tomahawk, shovel, brushhook and a large fixed blade with pommel (thick steel on the btm of handle). We needed the knife pommel and tomahawk to pound the stakes into packed ground. We needed to cut dead wood for a fire so the brushhook was great. I never needed the camp shovel, but I was seriously the only person out of 20 that brought anything besides a pocketknife, including my first aid kits, rope, paracord, and extra lights. Always be prepared!!

The legal system can be one of extremes. Fines, bit of jail time…or eyes gouged out. Definitely need some good luck there.

Can we all appreciate the fact that Nerd Explains never disappoints with his content.

man, burning eyes, mouth and ears is the darkest punishment i´ve seen so far. actually surprised me when i watched the movie 😩

You know you're dealing with typical horror movie teens, when thei're NOT Running to the side to evade the rolling tree log.

11:31 Small correction: Cottonmouth/water moccasins can be extremely aggressive when they feel they're being threatened. However they live in very VERY specific areas in the americas and certainly not in this area. All other pit vipers in America are entirely defensive iirc. As for non pit viper snakes in North America (coral snakes) I'm not sure of their temperament. Its likely defensive too.

7:40 I've been in a similar situation, when I was in a forest in a rather sloppy terrain, the log rolling towards us was big too, my friend ran on the other side and I on the opposite and hide behind a tree , the tree rather big ...the log barely miss the place wherre I took shelter to, but Even if it hit the place I hide in,I think the tree would probably stop it.

"Like a Jack-o-Lantern that owes her money" Nerd, you have such a way with words.

You'll probably not see this, but i really appreciate you being one of the channels that have subtitles. Keep up the good work mate!

As silly and avoidable a lot of this movie is, I really appreciate how badass Jen turned out in the end

After watchin' movies like these I never go hiking without my glock and buckshot

Fun fact! Although there are only 4 venomous snakes in America, Virgina has 3 of them, the copperhead (most common), the Timber and canebrake rattlesnakes, and water moccasins/ Cotten mouths. As a rule of thumb when traveling in Virginia, don’t go near the snakes definitely don’t try to pet it.

I watch these videos whenever my paranoia gets too high and you would not believe the relief they bring to me, knowing that I have a mental plan for whenever the impossible happens. I know that’s kinda dumb, but thank you for making these.

I watched this movie yesterday and the entire situation was easy to avoid Edit: Didn't one of the traps kill the hikers so couldn't the hikers say the hunters did hurt one of them?

id love having him work on a movie with characters that actually have a functioning brain, just imagine a well thought out horror movie with smart protagonists, but as a catch you have smart antagonists as well

For those trying to count the four types of venomous snakes and coming up with five: 1. Rattlesnakes 2. Copperheads 3. Cottonmouths (and moccasins) and 4. Coral snakes Teach 'em young: Red and yeller kills a feller, Red and black don't mean jack.

God review!! Must admit, while watching this thing I was a bit "confused" for none of the characters looked like the "Wrong Turn": that I am familiar with. Then remembered that this is a remake and then everything made sense. Will have to hunt this version down and give it try.

Commenting on the rolling barrel of trunk: The guys were so stupid running downhill when there are much better and easier solutions. 1. If the trunk is very long, it still doesn't have a chance of knocking you if you run sideways to the end closest to you ie. if you were at the right end of the trunk, run forward which is basically the right end of the tree trunk, vice versa for if you were at the back of the line, run backwards (which is left end of trunk.) 2. Assuming the speed was very high, a simple solution is going behind a tree of relatively similar broadness. It will stop the trunk or change it's course. For example how we see the guy who was crushed waiting for the incoming trunk, had he adjusted himself quickly and gone behind the tree, he would have survived. 3. The riskiest idea: Lay flat behind raising ground areas. The idea is to spot where there is something like a pile of wood sticking from the ground or where there are roots protuding from the ground to create small anthill-like formations. Laying down under this MIGHT save you because the trunk will be lifted over the ground for some distance. For maximum security when doing so, lay parallel to the incoming trunk.

Anyone who defends the mountain men as the peaceful ones who's been aggressed upon is a clown. I'm not 100 on legal terms, but I feel like you have to disclose that there are animal traps in the area. I'm fine with all the murder shit, but it's a serious hazard these people are doing by not warning innocent hitchhikers that there could be animal traps. This is a serious violation of safety protocall and imagine if someone died from infection after they get stuck with a rusted bear trap? Or dislocate a shoulder being hoisted up on a snare trap that comically throws them into the trees? It's just reckless, and don't even get me started that they forgot to yell "TIMBER!!!" when they cut down the tree to warn passers by that there is forest work being done in the area. These people are sickos who do not abide by the law and regulations of park and forest safety and should be fined according to the fullest extent of the law.

Idk why, but I always got the feeling that Darrius was actively looking for the Foundation since he wanted the utopia. I just have a hard time finding that to be a coincidence.

I can beat Wrong Turn in less than 10 seconds. *rolls over on my couch and goes back to sleep*

BIG thanks to the nerd/s helping you bring videos so often! ❤

Just what I needed after a really rough week. Your videos always help me relax.

Best way to beat the Mountain Men is to avoid going outside at all costs...remember, the sun is evil

Loving the back to back videos 🔥🔥🔥🖤🖤🖤🐐🐐🐐keep it up family I admire the content

As an Australian, I would see a snake and assume it could kill me 100x over if it woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. I don't blame anyone for not messing with those slithery bastards.

Picking up on your mercenary army idea, I’d love to see a movie or series about some rich person losing someone they love to the mountain people and bringing an army to burn down their village. It could follow them as the fight their way up the mountain and slowly get picked off by traps and guerrilla tactics. Maybe in the second to last or last episode (provided it’s a series) the forest gets lit ablaze and we could get some awesome shots of the mountain in flames and the rich person squares off as the last survivor with the Foundation’s leader in a burnt down section of the forest surrounded by burnt trees and ash. Maybe some ash is falling around as they fight. You could have them kill each other and give it the message of seeking vengeance for what you’ve lost will make you lose everything you have left or something along those lines. If you’ve read the Star Wars Republic comics that covered the battle of Jabiim, basically the ending from that

Could you possibly do a video on the movie "Vivarium"? It is pretty disturbing, and I think it would be difficult, if not impossible, to beat.

Brilliant Strategies and plan Nerd Explains

I have no idea why the characters in horror movies never run sideways smh. If a truck, log, boulder, or whatever is coming towards me, I’m gonna run to the side to get out of the way. Not try to outrun whatever it is coming at me.

Right! I thought that too about the guy that got Darius. That doesn't even make sense that he was pulled out one handed from a hole like that! If they're that strong. They might as well just surrender to being killed

I can't hear "the foundation" without thinking it means SCP...😁

Uuu, a Nerd Explains video!! the best in its genre!!

My survival strategy would have been to stick to the trail, have a nice large knife for protection and always have some of the giggle bush for the campfire as nothing unites people more than a doobie-even murderous mountain men. Edit* Actually in all seriousness I would have three main items-Hatchet or large knife, a compass and a flashlight or fire-starter. As soon as I see the attackers I would stay hidden and wait until they leave the area. I would then climb down the mountain into the town to inform them my friends had been taken. I would leave the area and inform better law enforcement. I would go back with backup and go on the offensive and try and help rescue my friends. Otherwise, everyone would die.

I don't know why they named this wrong turn, when this movie was completely different from previous entries ?

Man brand new how to beat, and perfectly in time for right when I sat down for lunch

6:51 That scene was one of the most grotesque I have seen in a film! I greatly appreciate the smiley pancake face in place of it lol.

I’m watching this while taking a vacation in Virginia… I’m very close to the trail too

Is it bad that now I’m watching all the videos on repeat?! I think I’m ready for whatever life throws at me

A few weeks as a prisoner is absolutely enough time to become a skilled and professional fighter, marksman, survivalist and killer. I mean, I went to summer camp for a few weeks and was a navy seal when I left. 🙄🙄

My heart giggled when I heard the reference to CinemSins' "Prometheus School of Running Away from Things" 😭😂

Man I get happy when I see you post a new video

Hey Bro, can you make a video on how to beat AMY DUNNE in Gone Girl?

Nerd, please do Terminator 2 Judgement Day, and/or The Terminator. T2 being the more iconic, id love to watch your analysis on the machine that came into my life at age 3 and still has a very special place in my heart. Love the content man, its always top notch!

Yoooo nice video I loved and enjoyed it

The "shadow stick" method can be used no matter where you are. Easy to learn, easy to perform. The natives were using a lot of traps similar to the ones used in Vietnam. Not necessarily to kill but maim and slow down entire group having to care for the wounded.

Another thing they could have done was cut the rope binding their hands with the sharp, rocky wall while in the pit seeing as she was there for quite a time. She might not have been able to escape but if you pretended to be binded still you could try to fight back if they were going to kill you

In all my years of not going hiking on backwood mountain areas, this has never happened to me. Take from that what you will.

Love the wrong turn movies mainly because I am from west Virginia. I also love your content and can't wait to see the next video

I love all your videos but this is the best one in a while. Please do other wrong turn movies as well

Honestly I stick to trails because I don't want to get lost and I die out there.

I love the wrong turn movie series, first horror movie that ever scared me as a kid and gave me nightmares

@8:00 I love how there was a clear path for the log to roll down! 😂

Nerd explains blurring stuff? Never thought that day would come

If you could do the other movies too that would be awesome! This one is just not good. But in terms of survival tips it was a good one.

Do you think you could do a how to beat crimson peak?

Keep up the great work

I almost got crushed by a boulder while mountaineering once, thing came tumbling down the mountain toward me, I ran sideways and imagine any person in real life would have the same thought.

Im shocked I suggested this series a little while back I didn't expect it to be heard. I'm excited to see this

compared to the villains in the early wrong turn movies, these are much smarter and way better prepared

0:17 that river scene was shot in my hometown of New Richmond also the place they spend the night in is the bed n breakfast in new Richmond

Hello!!! I absolutely love your vids and I just wanted to let you know 😀😀😀

I’ve heard some crazy stories about people who went hiking in the Appalachians, a part of me wants to go to see if there is actually anything there, but the survivor part of me says that that’s a dumb idea.

For the log rolling down, I would have used one of the standing trees (relatively thick one) as cover. Even if the tree breaks, it'll knock off the rolling log off course. As for other things, I agree. First of all, when there's hostile force near you, then the first thing you should do is arm yourself with lots and lots of weapons (and shield, such as your own backpack). And never run in unfamiliar environment, esp when you know ahead of the time that there are traps.

I saw a video of a women in a car after a accident and it was smoking, she was in full panic and couldn't unlock the front doors or wind down the windows due to damage, this biker with a go pro kept calm and ordered/asked her if its possible she can unlock the back doors to the car, she could and did and got out before the car caught fire. I mention that because it's annoying when people say "why don't you just run this way when a log is rolling at you at high speeds" or some other scenario where if you have a clear head it's a simple fix, in an actual situation where your life is in danger you can't just switch off and think rationally unless you've been trained to do so like the military, police, ambulance or fire services. The average person will panic and make stupid mistakes without the education people have. Even trained people panic and make mistakes, "hindsight is 20/20" yeah but in the moment it's a blur. Love your content just had to rant about the judgement, I understand its for entertainment but jeez give them slack! 😂 especially how even though its a movie and not "real" with my argument in a way it is with how they react

One thing I like to add on the pile of "paranoid guy tells you have to not be dumb and survive" walking in ranks would be much better than a line, set of two walking side by side lowers chance of being ambushed and though they might be a bit slower they should be anyways to check for traps and people in the woods.

I literally love this movie and I’ve been waiting for someone to do this one

Correction A cottonmouth is also known as a water moccasin. They are extremely aggressive and absolutely will go out of their way to bite you.

THIS IS VERY ENTERTAINING

When he asked the question in the beginning my first thought was ‘wonder why a family reunion was happening unannounced’ then I realized that was in-fact NOT the right answer 😬

So a pregnant woman murdered a truck full of men from a tribe that trained her on how to survive, which she was trained for only a few weeks. Move over Rey from Star Wars a new Mary Sue Queen has usurped the throne!

Easiest solution, don't leave your house ever. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

This is one of my fav movies!! Luv ur channel and I’m so glad u covered this!! :)

This is why i love this channel
