Wrong Turn is a 2003 slasher film directed by Rob Schmidt, written by Alan B. McElroy, and starring Desmond Harrington, Eliza Dushku, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Jeremy Sisto, and Kevin Zegers. The first part in the Wrong Turn film series, it follows a group of six individuals being stalked by a cannibal family in the woods of West Virginia.

Development for the film began in 2001 when it was announced Summit Entertainment and Newmarket Group teamed to produce Wrong Turn, a 1970s-style horror pic to be directed by Schmidt, while McElroy wrote the script. The film was a co-production between Summit and Constantin Film, with Stan Winston designing the creature effects and serving as a producer.

Wrong Turn was theatrically released in the United States on May 30, 2003, by 20th Century Fox. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its premise, but criticized its script, underdeveloped characters and horror clichés. The film grossed over $28 million worldwide against a $12 million budget.
