The first film was released in 2003, which was followed by two DirectToDVD sequels: ''Wrong Turn 2: Dead End'' in 2007 and ''Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead'' in 2009. A winter-set fourth film, subtitled ''[[{{Prequel}} Bloody Beginnings]]'', has been released in October 2011. It explores the origins of the hillbillies and is set primarily in an AbandonedHospital (so expect MedicalHorror).
