The robber bridegroom genotype in wrong turn (2003)

Terence Patrick Murphy

pp. 46-55

Rob Schneider's Wrong Turn (2003) offers a classic instance of a screenplay that uses the Robber Bridegroom plot genotype. The plot genotype is worth studying because other horror films, including Severance (2006) and Hostel (2006), are organized in very similar ways. There is also a long history of cannibal movies that share this plot genotype.
