Movie Description
IN THEATERS DECEMBER 25, 2005


A trio of friends goes on a road trip in Australia's outback and run into trouble with knife-wielding, slash-happy locals.

WOLF CREEK is a grim and disturbing horror film, based on actual events in the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE vein. It's also beautifully shot, with director Greg McLean (in his feature film debut) making the otherworldly majesty of Australia's outback emerge as a part of the story. Cassandra Magrath and Kesti Morassi play the two young British girls traveling with their Aussie friend, Ben (Nathan Phillips), to Wolf Creek, the remote location of a giant meteor crater. When their car breaks down, a jovial, Crocodile Dundee-type named John Jarrett (Mick Taylor) offers to tow them to his even more remote auto camp. What happens next ensures, among other things, that surviving audience members will never think of Crocodile Dundee in quite the same happy way again.


In addition to McLean's painterly use of scenery in establishing mood, the film benefits from the slow, methodical buildup of character detail; the actors are given space to develop a believable rapport, something all too rare in this kind of film. The characters are people, not stock slasher-film types, and this makes the ensuing scenes of cruelty and violence all the more unbearable. Some viewers may find it all too excessive and disturbing, but there should be no doubt that this is one carefully crafted, genuinely scary horror film, and a promising start for a fresh new filmmaking talent.

"Individual sequences are handled with great flair."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (11/01/2005)

Ranked #26 in Uncut's Best Films Of 2005 -- "McLean pushes his cast -- and audience -- to the limit, creating a remarkably dark and sadistic piece, made with terrific skill and realism."
Uncut - Uncut Staff (01/01/2005)

"[A]n unusually crisp and boldly shot TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE knockoff." -- Grade: B-
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (01/13/2006)

"The soundtrack fits the movie nicely, and will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the presentation."

    We are huge fans of Horror Films, so we bought this movie at the same time as we bought Hostel. I must say I was equally disappointed with both of them. Wolf Creek starts off REALLY slow just as Hostel does, but at least it's a storyline about 3 friends who go on a roadtrip and not some bad soft porn show. I enjoyed this one a tiny bit more only for the fact that "IF" you make it to the end of the film it does actually have a "scariness" about it, (in a very small dose though), and not just a Bloody, Gore fest like Hostel is. Neither movie was anything close to what I call a "scarey" movie. They just don't seem to know how to make em' scarey anymore. If you are thinking of adding this to your Horror collection, my advice would be to rent it first, before you spend your $ on it. And if you want to see one that is really scarey... my suggestion is to look for a movie called "High Tension", it is badly dubbed, but the movie itself is way more scarey!

    I have never been so bored watching a thriller than this one.It really dragged,and it took forever to get to the plot.Which by then you are so bored that you just don't care.I have to say that this movie was lacked of suspense and thrills.I will give this a two thumbs down.Sorry.
