Destino Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Synopsis: It was supposed to be the vacation of a lifetime in the Australian Outback – full of fun, sun and adventure. But what happened to a trio of twenty-something backpackers took a wrenching detour into the depths of unrelenting terror. Based on true events, WOLF CREEK is the haunting story of their unthinkable ordeal – a mounting white-knuckle nightmare so real it was destined to become horror legend. WOLF CREEK is a startlingly intense motion picture experience of rapidly escalating dread and suspense. At the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, the film – written and directed by Melbourne's Greg McLean – was acclaimed as a daring, original blend of visually hypnotic thriller with unbearably scary movie. The chillingly believable events begin as freewheeling, college-aged pals Liz (Cassandra Magrath), Kristy (Kestie Morassi) and Ben (Nathan Phillips) head out for a holiday hike in stunning Wolf Creek National Park to see its mysterious meteor crater. When they return, their car won’t start. Trapped in the vast emptiness of the wilderness – all they can do is wait for rescue. Luckily, as night falls, along comes colorful local bushman Mick (John Jarratt) and his massive truck, offering a tow to safety. But as the sun comes up the next morning, it becomes shockingly apparent that Mick has no intention of fixing their car or letting them leave the Outback...ever again. As Liz, Kristy and Ben search for any conceivable way out, WOLF CREEK plunges towards an unforgettable climax. --© The Weinstein Company The reviews so far seem to be pretty good. All of them point towards a terribly violent movie some mention the Texas Chainsaw Massacre as being similar. ....and it comes out on Christmas. heh You can watch the trailers here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 it looks interesting but why does it come out on xmas? seems kinda morbid. the family is all together having having hallmark moments then they decided to see this movie. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancalagon the Black Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I watched this when it came out in Australia. Terrible. Just terrible. I love a good horror flick, but this one was putrid. The best part was the Aussie-road-trip fantasy first half, before the slashing started. After that: tired, predictable, and sadistic. Yawn.

visionary Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 For a second there, I thought this was about that show they had on a few years back, called Wolf Lake.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdowwe Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Just watched it. Im interesting in looking up the actual facts of what happened. The end of the movie kinda made it look like that Ben guy was the one who killed the 2 girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Heard all the hype and watched this, thought it was a peice of crap, don't know how any of this could be based on a true story when the only survivor wasn't around for any of the scenes with the girls in it, he never looked in the building just took off, total peice of crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuckinIA Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I watched this when it came out in Australia.Terrible. Just terrible. I love a good horror flick, but this one was putrid. The best part was the Aussie-road-trip fantasy first half, before the slashing started. After that: tired, predictable, and sadistic. Yawn. Saw it last week and I agree with this completely. What a rotten pile of dingo crap this movie turned out to be. It gets pretty bad when my wife and I can make bets about what time a certain scene if going to happen due to the movie being so predictable.

GoCommiesGo Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I saw this in the theaters when it came out. It was possibly the worst movie I've seen in the last couple of years. I'd rather sit down and see back to back showings of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Wolf Creek sucked the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTaylor42 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Wolf Creek was one of the worst movies that I have ever seen. The first hour or so is just boring. I wasn't the least bit scared of the killer. He had a striking similarity to a professional wrestler from the 80's called "Outback Jack". When I seen the killer I said "OH! There's Outback Jack! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonBurgundy&Gold Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I found myself yelling at the screen every 5 seconds because the people were so stupid. I kept thinking to myself "there is no way I would ever be in this situation". Slow start, but the second half kept my attention. It was a cool BAD movie, if that makes any sense at all.

NASMTrainer Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Out of total boredom, I just clicked on my OnDemand button and decided on Wolf Creek. About half way through I was wishing the killer would come into my home and put me out of my misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandaceM23 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I'd rather sit down and see back to back showings of the Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Haven't seen Wolf Creek yet .... I've heard mixed reviews about it. I'll probably end up watching it .... But Killer Clowns :laugh: :laugh: I thought that I was the only one who remembered that movie. Those clowns were out of control!!! They had cotton candy guns! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Sounds like it sucked so I will skip it, but Des you like horror movies you have seen that a remake of the Omen is coming out. The heard the first one was pretty good so this one might be decent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeSkin Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I saw Wolf Creek in the theater. It was the only movie I've ever seen that was so bad that the audience threw their trash at the screen when it ended. Seriously, just painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
