Rutger, Katrina és Paul a szabadságuk alatt hátizsákkal járják a vad és csodálatos ausztrál tájat. Útjuk során ellátogatnak a civilizációtól távol eső Wolf Creek Nemzeti Parkba is, hogy megnézzék a világhírű, fantasztikus, ugyanakkor kísérteties krátert. Nem is sejtik, hogy a lélegzetelállító természeti csoda árnyékában veszély leselkedik rájuk. A pszichopata Mick Taylort turistákra vadászik, akiket a legbrutálisabb módon legyilkol. Hamarosan a saját bőrükön tapasztalják meg a kegyetlenségét. (Cinemax)

Buta, nem túl eredeti krimiként indul, de fokozatosan sajátossá válik, és fenntartja a néző érdeklődését, aki már több száz hasonló filmet látott. A bunkó gyilkosban van valami, éppen azért, mert nem mutáns, és nincs körülötte családi csapat, de úgy néz ki és úgy viselkedik, mint egy nyugis szomszéd az autószerelő műhelyből. Amíg valaki fel nem bosszantja. És megtartja a férfi szavát. Záró vizsga az ausztrál történelemből beírja a filmet a műfaji térképre. Az ausztrál sivatagokról készült felvételek pedig olyan vizuális szépséget adnak a filmnek, amilyet nem láttunk sem A texasi láncfűrészes, sem a Sziklák szeme filmben.

Despite the shortcomings, whether in the plot or in how it's overall fairly disjointedly filmed, it's evident that the Australians are constantly evolving and improving. In their films, they preserve themselves, their culture, and their environment, but they can also conceive horror in such an intriguing way that it's not just aimed at their relatively limited market, and it becomes an export commodity. I liked the second installment even more than the first, perhaps because of the greater professionalism and evident effort to experiment.

The first part is a very average and bland hixploitation, but the second part is enriched with more elements and I can finally shout my favourite phrase this year: Fucking awesome!! From start to finish a whirlwind of proper gore (headshots, shotguns, severed heads, human body dismemberment... Wonderful!), a decent build-up of tension, a nice exotic landscape, a nice throwback to a lot of older similar films from previous years, an excellent villain – a really horrible redneck asshole who doesn't fuck with anything or anyone, animals get their asses kicked here in full flow! The kangaroo scene is the most over the top I've ever seen. A truly outstanding affair, to perfection and beauty it only lacks naked women and more intense torture. Australia is rocking this year and competing decently with the French when it comes to gore. 80%.

Surprisingly, pretty good. I hardly remember the first Wolf Creek, I only have the rather hazy impression of it as a dull and average exploitation movie, but I will refrain from an explicit comparison because, as I say, it’s just a feeling. But Wolf Creek 2 sticks fiercely within the limits of the genre without going any further, but what it does, it does very well. Basically, it’s a cross-section of Australian hixploitation (or ozploitation) where, instead of a proper story, we get several different sequences separated by locations and even characters, and the only thing linking them is the villain, a murderous and cantankerous redneck. So, we see a night attack on a tent, a night chase in the bush, road chases, an attack on a house, etc., etc. Something like ozploitation in a nutshell, even the kangaroos have something to do (though Wake in Fright leads in this regard). Considering its moderate run, it surprisingly checks all the boxes and has a solid tempo. Satisfaction.

An uncompromising and nimble genre film that fears nothing and spares no one – in a relatively short space of time, we get a clean head shot, a detailed dismemberment of a man's limb, a bloody Australian rally with the subtitle "Take down the kangaroo", and a visit to a horrifying torture den full of pain and depravity. And starring a likeable good guy and a delectable villain who is a horror freak of the first order. It doesn't bring anything new to the table, and it's striking how blithely and without consequence Taylor runs his perverted tastes across such a large territory, but at least it's a hell of a lot of fun and formally more than decent, so I'm satisfied. 70%
