Wolf Creek
The Press Reviews
The vogue for retro-horror, particularly the stripped-down shivers of 1970's slasher flicks, continues apace in this nasty little piece of work from Australia. Full Review
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. Full Review
[It's] scary cinema pushed to the brink of punishment. But there's no question that what it sets out to do, it does alarmingly well. Full Review
The film's preference for female suffering gives it a misogynist undertow that's even more unsettling than the gore. Full Review
It's a story bound to give even the most seasoned thrill seeker nightmares. Full Review
A grimy gut-chiller that unsettles as much as it thrills, violently shunting you to the edge of your seat before clamping onto your memory like a rusty mantrap. Feel the fear. Full Review
