Wolf Creek (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Wolf Creek, written and directed by Greg McClean, is the Blair Witch Project of the Australian outback. Capitalizing on the human fear of becoming lost in the wilderness, in this case a desert crater called Wolf Creek National Park, this graphic horror film exploits the handheld camera to capture the grotesque actions of Mick Taylor (John Janatt), a sadistic serial killer. When a hip twenty-something guy, Ben Mitchell (Nathan Phillips), and two hippie-ish girls, Cassandra (Liz Hunter) and Kristy (Kestie Morassi), take a road trip and their car breaks down, they have no choice but to accept help from Mick, an eccentric rural Aussie, who, like a spider, tows them into his nightmarish lair. Mick hunts kangaroos and hates tourists, translating his fetish for knives, shotguns, and other torture devices into a need to kill humans as if they're vermin infesting his majestic landscape. Ample blood and gore leave the viewer feeling nearly as sick as the girls who are forced to watch each other die. Like Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, Mick Taylor is a savvy, calculating killer, despicable but psychologically fascinating. --Trinie Dalton
Welcome to Wolf Creek, where the suspense of The Blair Witch Project meets the horror of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Inspired by Australia's "Backpacker Killer" who murdered seven backpackers in the `90s, Wolf Creek won wide acclaim from critics, filmmakers and audience members alike at the Sundance Film Festival. Three unsuspecting hikers take off for a drive across Australia. When the trio returns from a four-hour hike to Wolf Creek National Park, they find their car is dead. Help comes in the form of big, back-slapping bushman Mick (John Jarratt). Since Mick appears to be more Crocodile Dundee than Freddy Krueger, the trio trusts him which proves to be a grave mistake. Quentin Tarantino said, "Jarratt delivers a performance that's destined to go down as one of the greatest film heavies of the last 25 years. "Not since the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre has terror felt so real." Ken Fox, TV Guide

Some potential wasted on lovely sadism in the Australian sun
Wolf Creek definitely makes a go at being a fresh, new take on a sorta-slasher movie. For one, it's Australian, so not quite as chained to the Hollywood conventions and necessities. On the other hand, it's a bit uneven and is then only...

Monotonous Sadism
I have a point in these gruesome "torture porn" movies where I bail on them and shut them off.

Not just another "Teenagers are gonna get it" flick. Gruesome.
This is Not just another "the Teenagers are gonna get it" flick. Gruesome best describes the movie. You may feel as if the movie is never going to start, and I literally thought, "ok, ok, you are trying to establish tension between the two chics...

I ate my fingernails
Wolf creek starts out a bit slow but I like that build up. It was very interesting. The movie makes you sit on the edge of your seat and root for the victims. I also liked the actor who played the killer. His abilities were above and beyond...

So much potential wasted
I saw Wolf Creek at the initial theatrical release. I went into the movie with very little expectations. I have to say, with expecting nothing; I got very little out of the movie. As being a fan of horror films, this film was a major let down....

Most disgusting piece of trash movie i've ever seen!
I fell into watching this movie on accident through cable tv. I only watched it to the end because it was said to be based on actual events, making me think this had actually happened to a group of people. This is not true. I was so appalled by...
