Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

shannen-l-c Wolf Creek remains to this day one of my favourite horror movies. I first saw it when I was around 16 years old and it has stayed with me ever since. When I saw Wolf Creek 2 I was dubious, because know from experience that sequels of this kind are usually dire, but this surprised me. Was it better than the first Wolf Creek? No. However, it wasn't THAT much worse. It has everything Wolf Creek has - violence, gore, torture, murder and a chilling villain in Mick Taylor. It does everything Wolf Creek does but with a few small changes here and there. The structure is very similar as is the tone, which does have it's cons in that there were no surprises or twists. Everything felt very predictable and at points it did feel I was watching Wolf Creek again. The strongest part of this movie was of course John Jarratt who plays Mick. He is INCREDIBLE and truly lives and breathes the character of Mick to the point that you can't separate the actor from the character. In fact, I read that when filming Wolf Creek 2, John remained in character in between takes and behind the scenes terrifying the rest of the crew, because he said it was so challenging to fully get into the mind-set of Mick that he had to dedicate himself to it 100%. John's dedication to Mick's character truly shows in this movie. He's a ruthless, manic, evil, cruel psychopath but yet there are moments where you're tricked into believing he is sympathetic towards his victims and may show mercy, only for it to be completely ripped away moments later. Unlike Wolf Creek, Wolf Creek 2 is much more focused on Mick than the victims. However, it doesn't really provide much more of an insight into Mick's past or how and why he came to be the monster he is. All it really does is follow the murders he commits throughout the movie from his POV rather than the victims. It also differs from the first in that it's not set in one specific location and is mostly set in the outback as Mick hunts down his victims. There's also slightly more gore, which at points does feel unnecessary. Yes, Mick is a hardened killer devoid of any human emotion, but was the the purpose or point of completely dissecting his victim? Scenes such as that did feel like they were added just to add to the gore factor but if they hadn't of been included it wouldn't have made a difference. Overall, Wolf Creek 2 is not a movie I will remember like I did with Wolf Creek for the simple reason that it didn't do anything much different than the first movie. However, it is worth a watch for horror fans, particularly those that enjoyed the first movie and are slasher fans.

WhitneylTerry I wasn't super impressed with the first Wolf Creek, but it had enough psychological elements to keep it going. And although I LOVE gore/slasher flicks, there are certain films that just don't fit that bill; this is one of them and it's absolutely terrible. There were moments I squirmed in my seat, but it wasn't from fear, it was from sheer embarrassment knowing that grown men (probably with families to support) blatantly stole money from the producers, wrote a crappy movie that took 2 lines of coke and some whiskey to write overnight, and pocketed the rest to save up for a 3rd (just wait, it's going to happen).They noticeably tried to make Mick into a character we want to see more of, but he's no Jason Voerhees, Michael or Charles Lee Ray. Each of these characters has a history and a reason for their madness; Mick is just crass and one-dimensional. On top of stupid mistakes like creating fires all over the place after you mutilate bodies (two of which are officers), when you could just as easily roll a car into the outback and no one would be any wiser, it's just plain mean-spirited. Pointless (and atrocious CGI) kangaroo slaughtering, shooting an old woman in the back and then point-blank in the face. You can't mix realistic psychological horror elements with nonsense, if you're going to try to break the rules of the slasher/serial killer genre, do it well or don't do it at all...I hate that I watched this movie.

Martin Bradley One of the best horror films of recent years was the Australian "Wolf Creek". Its success has lead to this belated sequel, simply entitled "Wolf Creek 2", (and now a television series in production), which is even more effective and a lot nastier than the original. John Jarratt's Mick Taylor is still out there, slicing up backpackers; first a couple of young Germans run up against him and then Ryan Corr's gutsy Pommie falls foul of him in the middle of nowhere. This is a nerve-shredder of the first order, terrifically played by Jarratt and to a slightly lesser extent Corr and brilliantly directed, once again, by Greg McLean with a couple of nice nods in the direction of both "Duel" and "The Night of the Hunter". Terrifying and terrifyingly funny in almost equal measure.

Andrew Gold I'm a huge fan of the original Wolf Creek. Mick Taylor cemented himself as one of the best horror villains of all time. Yeah I said it. He doesn't wear a mask, he's not invincible, he doesn't have any superpowers; he doesn't need any of that. No, this guy is a hunter. A straight up Australian outback sharpshooter with weapons up the wazoo. Thing is, he hunts tourists. Any poor bastard wandering around the wide open plains of Australia better not cross paths with the guy because he'll kill them in the slowest, most degrading way possible. He thrives on fear and wants to squeeze as much life out of each one of his victims before letting them die. His smirk is chilling, his laugh is sinister. He's a sick sadistic psychopath, and he's absolutely captivating to watch. The thing about Wolf Creek is that it focused on these three backpackers who were going to the Wolf Creek Crater or whatever but their car broke down, so some guy in a truck comes by and offers them a lift. Turns out this guy is Mick Taylor, and after a brilliantly tense campfire scene where they're all having a drink and a good laugh, he poisons them and proceeds to do vile things. What made it so terrifying is that we knew these characters. They had chemistry, you believed they were friends, you were on this adventure with them, so when the sh*t starts happening, it gets downright disturbing because you feel for these people.In Wolf Creek 2, the focus is almost entirely on Mick Taylor. It's literally just a day in the life of Mick Taylor, which I don't have a problem with at all. But there really isn't a clear protagonist we can root for during a large portion of this movie. At first you think it's a German couple since we follow them around for the first act, until they set up a fire that catches Mick's attention. Then, the guy gets killed. And the girl runs and runs until she reaches the road, and this is where we're introduced to our "real" protagonist: Paul. He almost runs her over but quickly stops, lets the girl in his car and hauls ass out of there. But of course Mick catches up, things happen, and it ends up becoming a cat-and-mouse game between Mick and Paul.Paul really is a good protagonist though. He's a British tourist who was just driving through the Australian wilderness until he finds the girl in the street, then things start heading south for the guy. Paul is a sympathetic character because he was genuinely just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even Mick reminds him that he wasn't his primary target, but Paul interfered with his hunting so now he's in the crosshairs. The psychological warfare between Paul and Mick near the end was riveting, and the actor who played Paul did a phenomenal job despite having such little character development to work with. It's definitely a fun ride. There are some cheesy moments like Mick riding a horse with the sun going down behind him, but overall it has the same thick, brooding atmosphere as the original Wolf Creek. It's just told from a different perspective. It's the same type of extreme over-the-top sadistic horror as the original so if you don't like that stuff then steer clear. But if you did like the first one and want to see more of Mick Taylor, Wolf Creek 2 will give you exactly that.
