Bill Sage loves starring in horror movies. When it’s a villain, he cherishes the role even more.
Sage plays Venable in Wrong Turn, a leader of an isolated mountain civilization that adheres to strict rules and traditions. The group called The Foundation is very territorial of their borders and dislikes any trespassers—especially young hikers.
This is a reimagining of the franchise Wrong Turn that previously lasted through six movies with a family of mutant cannibals. The reboot is written by Alan B. McElroy, the original scriptwriter of the first Wrong Turn movie.
Here’s the synopsis: Backwoods terror and never-jangling suspense meet when Jen and a group of friends set out to hike the Appalachian Trail. Despite warnings to stick to the trail, the hikers stray off course—and cross into the land inhabited by The Foundation, a hidden community of mountain dwellers who use deadly means to protect their way of life. Suddenly under siege, Jen and her friends seem headed to the point of no return—unless Jen’s father can reach them in time.
Along with Bill Sage, the film stars Charlotte Vega (The Lodgers), Adain Bradley (Riverdale), Emma Dumont (The Gifted), Dylan McTee (Roswell, New Mexico), and Matthew Modine (Stranger Things). Mike P. Nelson (The Domestics) directed the film.
