Director Greg McLean [takes] the plot in unpredictable directions, but the brain-dead characters continuously fail to use their heads.

Reviews for Wolf Creek
Only a slight cut above the run-of-the-mill American slasher picture.
12/22/05
A lo-fi masterpiece, an intense ride through your worst nightmares.
12/22/05
Consummately well-crafted, unapologetically vicious and leavened with moments of humor that merely intensify the horror.
12/22/05
A shade better than a lot of the current crop of Hollywood horror movies (Saw II) and remakes and redos of Japanese terror films.
12/22/05
Top CriticThere are many things both slapdash and screwy with Creek, but McLean's biggest sin is the 60-minute set-up before the horror kicks in.
12/22/05
Devastatingly real.
12/22/05
A loathsome low-budget thriller that's only distinguished by its ability to juggle grotesque sadism and stultifying boredom.
12/22/05
Wolf Creek bills itself as "Based On Real Events," a dubious claim since the film is rife with the sort of boneheaded plotting that can only be found in sub-par thrillers of this nature.
12/21/05
Un des films d'horreur les plus mιchants et cruels des derniθres annιes.
12/21/05
Mick Taylor should be in the pantheon of classic horror characters along with Leatherface and Freddy Krueger.
12/20/05
Wolf Creek is unimaginative, light on the grue and heavy on the faux-serious desperation.
12/20/05
Top CriticWolf Creek is an unrelenting, grueling experience.
12/18/05
A vicious torrent of blood-letting. What more can we want?
12/08/05
An austere descent into inexplicable, unbridled mayhem.
12/06/05
...its debt to...Texas Chainsaw Massacre is obvious. Still, this is a gritty flick that must be giving Australia's Outback tourism industry a bad case of heartburn.
11/09/05
In this era of horror films soullessly carted out of Hollywood, Wolf Creek immediately stands apart from the pack.
11/05/05
Relentless as the midday Australian sun, Wolf Creek is an assured debut from writer director Greg McLean, although explicit violence and downbeat themes will deter some.
10/02/05
The film's preference for female suffering gives it a misogynist undertow that's even more unsettling than the gore.
09/24/05
Wolf Creek is well-made and well-acted but it's also a horrific, downbeat and viciously nasty horror flick that's often extremely difficult to watch %u2013 you have been warned.
