Terror down under - Wolf Creek review by CP Customer
I'm glad Wolf Creek was an international success as it seems to have kick started a series of Aussie exploitation films that hark back to the 70's when they were producing some weird and wonderful movies. Wolf Creek itself is predictable but you stay with the ride until the very end. Part of its attraction is the fact the course of events are based on witness accounts. It offers enough gore and frights to entertain those who love the genre. A cast of relative unknowns perform admirably, although if you wish to see this type of film excised to its full potential, then check out the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Excellent Aussie Cult Horror - Wolf Creek review by GI
A typically gutsy Australian crime thriller, one that gained a big cult following in Australia and spawned a couple of sequels. It stands out for being loosely based on a real events and for its remarkable cinematography especially sunset and sunrise scenes in the outback. The story is of two British backpackers Liz (Cassandra Magrath) and Kristy (Kestie Morassi) who team up with local guy Ben (Nathan Hughes), they buy a rundown old car and head off into the outback to visit Wolf Creek, the site of a prehistoric meteor crash. But when the car breaks down in the middle of nowhere they are at a loss as to what to do but this is only the start of their troubles. There is some shocking stuff during the latter half of the film and the narrative as a whole sets up a plot that is harrowing and defies prediction. With the use of screen information about missing person statistics the effects are at times scary and haunting and the film holds its suspense very well indeed. If you've never seen this then it's a really interesting and entertaining thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat and hiding behind the cushions too.

Well directed shocking movie - Wolf Creek review by CD
This is the second time I have watched this film since its release. It is a very taut and well constructed road movie with great characterisation and good action. You may ,as I did find that the violent scenes are too much ( I had to fast forward) but the film really prompts one’s sympathy for the young people and for their courage in a truly awful situation.
