Despite the obvious influences of the original "Chainsaw," "Hills Have Eyes," "Last House," and other kidnap-terror films, you can't predict what is going to happen in this film.
11/20/08
For all its efforts at avoiding the usual slasher movie nonsense, it does fall back on some familiar, lame plot devices.

It is almost as if a hardcore survival horror film had been infiltrated (and slyly undermined) by the quieter mysticism of Peter Weir's Picnic At Hanging Rock...
08/16/07
A sustained plunge into abject horror that isn't meant to be laughed at or shaken off easily.

...an effective and thoroughly tense horror flick that's stylish without being obtrusive.

A solid flick that was robbed a bit in its theatrical release

It's competently made, but that alone doesn't make it a good film.

Top CriticWell, there goes my dream of driving across Australia.

Once you wade through a deathly long setup, it delivers the cinematic equivalent of watching a public execution, and then it's over.
01/04/06
An unusually crisp and boldly shot Texas Chainsaw Massacre knockoff.
01/04/06
Top CriticGreg McLean, who has many shorts and commercials under his belt, makes a significant feature debut here, with unapologetic horror that doesn't compromise.
01/04/06
Wolf Creek is a well-made film, but its technical merits are overwhelmed by the disgust registered as it wallows in some of the nastiest human behavior imaginable.
