WRONG TURN 10: 24 HOURS (2026)
Starring: Madelaine Petsch, Ross Marquand, Bill Skarsgård

Deep within the unforgiving mountains of Appalachia lies a region known only as the Dead Zone—a stretch of wilderness so remote and dangerous that even experienced hikers refuse to step inside its borders. For decades, rumors have circulated about strange disappearances, abandoned campsites, and mutilated remains found deep within the forests. Most people dismiss the stories as urban legends. But some believe the mountains are hiding something far darker.

In WRONG TURN 10: 24 HOURS (2026), a group of elite survivalists sets out to test their limits in the most dangerous terrain they can find. Led by determined documentary filmmaker Riley Carter (Madelaine Petsch), the team plans to film an extreme survival challenge that will push human endurance to its breaking point. Their mission is simple: cross the Dead Zone in exactly twenty-four hours before a powerful storm arrives and traps them inside the mountains.

The team believes they are prepared for anything. They carry advanced navigation equipment, survival gear, satellite trackers, and years of outdoor experience. But the Dead Zone is not simply a wilderness—it is a territory controlled by something far more dangerous than nature itself.

As the group pushes deeper into the dense Appalachian forest, strange signs begin to appear. Broken traps hang from trees. Old bones lie half-buried beneath the leaves. Crude markings carved into tree trunks form symbols no one in the group recognizes. At first, the warnings seem like relics from a forgotten past. But the deeper they travel, the clearer the truth becomes: they are being watched.

Unknown to them, the mountains are home to a new generation of the infamous Three Finger bloodline. These cannibalistic predators have survived for decades by adapting to the environment and learning from every hunt. No longer just savage killers, they have become calculated hunters who understand patience, strategy, and fear.

At the center of this terrifying clan is a silent patriarch portrayed by Bill Skarsgård—a monstrous figure whose presence alone commands absolute control over the twisted family that stalks the forest. Unlike the chaotic killers of the past, this leader treats every hunt like a ritual. And for this group of outsiders, he has created a new kind of game.

Twenty-four hours.

The same time limit the survivalists gave themselves becomes the countdown for their destruction. As the clock ticks down, the hunters begin their pursuit. Traps are triggered. Communication equipment mysteriously fails. Paths once marked on GPS maps suddenly lead nowhere. The forest itself becomes a maze designed to break the group’s spirit before their bodies.

One by one, the survivors begin to disappear into the darkness of the trees. What begins as fear slowly turns into panic as Riley realizes the horrifying truth: the killers are not rushing. They are controlling the pace of the hunt. The mountains belong to them, and time is their greatest weapon.

Ross Marquand plays a hardened survival expert whose instincts tell him something is deeply wrong long before the first attack occurs. As tension builds within the group, trust begins to fracture. Some want to turn back, others push forward, but every decision only leads them deeper into the Dead Zone.

Meanwhile, Riley refuses to give up. What started as a documentary about survival becomes a desperate fight to outthink a family of predators who have spent their entire lives mastering the art of the hunt. Every minute becomes precious. Every sound in the forest could mean death.

The story races toward a brutal final act as the storm finally crashes into the mountains, turning the forest into a nightmare of wind, rain, and darkness. With escape routes cut off and the clock nearly finished, the remaining survivors must face the horrifying reality that the only way out of the Dead Zone is through the hunters themselves.

What makes WRONG TURN 10 especially terrifying is its relentless pacing. The film transforms time into a weapon, forcing both characters and viewers to feel every passing second as tension builds toward its explosive conclusion. The forest becomes a living trap, and every wrong step brings the survivors closer to their final moment.
