Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Irishchatter If I could give this a 0, I would be happy to do it. Wolf creek was just all over the place, I didn't find it one bit scary. It was only just a plain old hillbilly trying to terrorise the party pooper backpackers and trying to kill them. The scenes were dragging on, I felt that I was bored to tears with it. Not great to be honest!
grantss Three friends are touring around the outback of Western Australia when their car breaks down. A local, Mick Taylor, offers to help them and invites them back to his place. Little do they know that he is a psychopathic killer.Very intriguing and engaging. Certainly not your average slasher-horror-thriller, though the bar is set very low there. The tension is built gradually, with the bad guy taking a while to reveal himself. Doesn't borrow too heavily from horror clichés and the conclusion is never obvious.Great work by John Jarratt as Mick Taylor - very convincing and suitably menacing and superficially charming as the killer. Solid performances by Cassandra Magrath, Kestie Morassi and Nathan Phillips as the three tourists.
James Theodore Smith I was anxious to see this movie because I had the uncut version. I was expecting gore, violence, a huge body count etc...There was none of the above. I think Mick killed two people in the whole film? It was slow- dragged throughout with nothing happening. I was at least expecting a climatic ending- nothing. Without the bad language this could have easily received a PG-13 rating, no sex, very little violence and gore. This film was more psychological than anything else. A complete waste of time. I noticed that part 2 is now on Netflix- I may give the sequel a chance. It can't be any worse than the first- Hopefully there will be some decent gore and a higher body count...and one last thing: Spoiler- When the dumb girl is in the car graveyard with about 12 cars she happens to pick and sit in the one car where Mick just happens to be waiting in the back seat: Is he psychic too...? and to just leave him on the ground with a flesh wound when she could have easily bashed his head in or kill him- no, she hits him in the back a few times. and based on actual events? What an insult to women.
johnwiltshireauthor I'm pretty sure I'm not the only viewer of this movie who gives up watching at the scene in the shed when girl No. 1 saves girl No. 2 by wounding the bad guy who's been torturing and raping her... and then just leaving while he's unconscious but still alive. Seriously? He tortures people to death (there's the carcass of a previous victim hanging in the shed who apparently lasted a few months), you wound him enough to knock him out, but then just leave. Uh-huh. He has a knife the size of Australia on him but, no, you don't think about finishing him off there and then. You just leave him to revive. Nope. Too daft to watch. And I get that for the movie to continue the bad guy has to live--I'm an author; I get plotting. But action has to be credible. So, when he's knocked unconscious, make him fall into a pit they cannot climb down into--whatever. But no one, no one would just leave that guy alive. Stopped watching this for the third time at that point. I just can't get past it. Shame.
