  • There are a total of twenty-three credited cast members in this film.
  • Shooting on Wrong Turn 5 began on May 8th, 2012. The movie was shot in Sofia, Bulgaria.
  • Actress Borisa Tyutyundzhieva, who plays Linda, is credited as Borisa Tutundjieva in this film.
  • Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines does not have a Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes, though it does have three posted reviews, all of which are negative. Scott Weinberg of FEARnet calls it "Cheap, dumb and not even remotely scary". The film has an audience score of 17% based on more than 1,000 verified user ratings, averaging 2.1 out of 5.
  • On Letterboxd, Wrong Turn 5 has a weighted average of 1.84 based on 10,682 user ratings.
  • The events of this film take place after Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings, but before the first Wrong Turn.
  • This is Declan O'Brien's third and final installment in the series as a director. He previously directed Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings. It is his second and final film in the series as a screenwriter, having also written Wrong Turn 4. Following this, he goes on to write and direct Joy Ride 3: Roadkill in 2014.
  • Actor Doug Bradley is best known for playing the role of the Lead Cenobite, aka "Pinhead" in the Hellraiser film series.
  • Actor Finn Jones also played Deputy Sorrel in the 2017 prequel film Leatherface. He is also known for playing martial arts hero Danny Rand in the Marvel Cinematic Universe streaming series Iron Fist and The Defenders on Netflix.
  • Actor Velizar Peev, who is also a stuntman, also appeared in Leatherface as a lowly deputy.
  • Although Lita is technically the Final Girl of the film, she is last seen blinded and being hauled away by the hillbillys, with the implication being that Maynard Odets is going to make good on his earlier threat and that she will be raped and murdered. As such, it is fair to say that this film ranks under the "no survivors" category, much like Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings.
