Wolf Creek 2

John Jarratt (Django Unchained) is back as psychotic serial killer Mick Taylor, the "Norman Bates of the billabong", in writer-director Greg Mclean's bloody sequel to the 2005 horror.

It's business as usual for Mick as three unwitting tourists - two Germans and Brit - find themselves wandering into his 'backyard'. Some elderly folks and local police also fall foul of his murderous ways. Says Variety:  "It turns out [Taylor] doesn't merely prey on young tourists because they’re the most plentiful... he's driven by a fervently right-wing loathing for all foreign intruders, carrying a bloody chip on his shoulder from the days of Australia being used as a salubrious depot for exiled British convicts."

Since cult hit Wolf Creek, Mclean has been embraced by the horror community and won admirers such as Quentin Tarantino (enough to score Jarratt a cameo in Django Unchained). Mclean co-writes the script here with Australian horror writer Aaron Sterns.
