Wolf Creek (DVD)

Wolf Creek is a scary little film about three backpackers whose trip to a crater turns into a hellish nightmare, as they're taken hostage by a rather crazed individual. The plot may seem the same as a million other horror films but it's actually a rather refreshing horror film which doesn't follow the usual formula, and may put you off visiting Australia, where the film is set. Although the film is slow to get started once the three backpackers are ...
...peanuts compared to today's blockbusters, Wolf Creek is a solid horror film with some good performances from the young cast. Kirsty, Ben and Liz are three friends who decide to go hiking in the scenic Wolf Creek National Park in the Australian Outback, intent on visiting the huge crater located there. Having loaded up their car with food and all other essentials, the three of them arrive at Wolf Creek within a few days, with the weather not too ...

Review of Wolf Creek (DVD)

...One of these places in Wolf Creek. Wolf Creek is a large crater formed by a 50000 ton meteorite. When the three arrive they spend time there taking in the scenery before making the three hour trek back to their downtrodden car. Unfortunately when they arrive the car wont start. Later that night they receive an offer of help by a local man offering to tow them to his ranch so they can fix the car. Didn’t their parents ever tell them not to accept ...
...the trio finally arrive at Wolf Creek the mood changes, it becomes dark, dreary and raining in order to build tension and let the audience know what’s to come. From then on the film takes a drastic turn for the worst and it really plays with your sense of reality and ultimately the unknown. You don’t see how the three of them end up in the terrible situation they do, it cuts from a shot of them falling asleep to when the nightmare begins. This is ...

Review of Wolf Creek (DVD)

...through Australia and stop at Wolf Creek, which is a site where a comet has landed. After spending the day at the creek, they return as it starts to get dark and find their car isn't working (neither are their watches). They struggle to get it started without luck, and then are offered help by a local, Mick, who offers to tow their car back to his and help fix it. They accept gratefully - after all, theres three of them young kids, and one old bloke ...
...had never previously heard of Wolf Creek. It does however go on to give you a commentry at the end, I wont go into that because it will give the game away. The violence itself is on the whole quite convincing and realistic, be that fortunate or not! As a whole, unless your are very squeamish I'd definetly reccommend you watching Wolf Creek - it has something different to a lot of the typical slasher horrors out at the moment. Go for it! Was about ...

Review of Wolf Creek (DVD)

Wolf Creek is said to be loosely inspired by ‘The Backpacker Murders’. Backpacker murderer , Ivan Milat struck in the early 1990’s and the story of ‘Wolf Creek’ is reminiscent of the way Milat carried out these crimes. Three backpackers, Kristy, Ben and Liz set off on a trip through the beautiful Australian outback visiting lots of points of interest in their crappy car. They decide to travel to Wolf Creek National Park, a mysterious area where a ...
...when they return the crappy car will not start. After a while headlights appear and this is when they meet Mick who offers them help with their car. Whilst back at Mick’s home he offers them water which is laced with drugs as a sedative. The three awake in various different places of the abandons mine Mick calls home and they are then on a cat and mouse mission to save their own lives and the lives of their friends, with Mick the killer hard on ...

Review of Wolf Creek (DVD)

...go for a walk up Wolf Creek. They return to find that their car won't start, and strangely, their watched have stopped ticking. They are towed back to another Austrailian's dark and creepy place, and they all fall asleep ... Here, the story is taken from an almost slow Documentray-esque start, to a full out horror flick. We watch as each of the three captives try to escape from the Ozzies. One disapointing factor of the film is that instead of ...
...or not our heroes are going to escape, we seem to believe that there is no hope ... Although weather or not this is true, you'll have to watch the film. The usual idiocy featured in horror films when people always go back to the place of their nightmares rather than get as far away from it as possible also returns in this film. And yes, as always, this proves a fatal mistake. All in all, this film was a slight dissapointment, however, I do recomend ...
