Top CriticRelentless 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.

Top CriticA solid flick that was robbed a bit in its theatrical release

Wolf Creek is another one of those formulaic horror movies that'll have you screaming at the screen. Not out of fright mind you, but out of the desire to make the characters hear you yelling at them to stop doing stupid things.

That's not a horror flick. This is a horror flick.
12/25/05
A very unpleasant movie.

... it's only a movie -- one the Australian Tourism Commission probably doesn't want you to see.

A shade better than a lot of the current crop of Hollywood horror movies (Saw II) and remakes and redos of Japanese terror films.

The film's preference for female suffering gives it a misogynist undertow that's even more unsettling than the gore.

At least as unnerving as it is gratuitously sadistic, skin deep, and full of plot holes the size of Ayers Rock.

Top CriticOnly a slight cut above the run-of-the-mill American slasher picture.
12/22/05
Interesting, though always difficult, viewing.

There is a line and this movie crosses it. I don't know where the line is, but it's way north of Wolf Creek.

Top CriticAs horror movies go, this is a pretty good one, at once a tense, visceral and tightly woven tale.
12/24/05
Wolf Creek is an unrelenting, grueling experience.
