Wolf Creek (2005)


Wolf Creek is straight out of the no-holds-barred 70's style horror film that was so successfully for films such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes and The Last House On The Left, shot almost documentary style the villains are pure evil, and the violence graphic, brutal and visceral.

The film claims, like Chainsaw, to be based on true events but it is only loosely based on the 'backpacker murders 89-92 committed by Ivan Milat.
The premise is simple, 3 tourists get stranded in the Australian Outback and are 'rescued' by, whom seems to be, a friendly Crocodile Dundee character Mick Taylor, soon though, a broken down car is the least of their troubles.

After The Descent it's yet again a pleasure to watch another bare knuckle and gritty horror release this year.
