Too much of everything
Simply A Masterpiece
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Hiking through the Australian outback, a pair of hitchhikers find themselves targeted by a psychotic serial killer which manages to ensnare another local into their encounter with the madman and begins a series of brutal back-and-forth games throughout the Outback.This was a decent if slightly flawed follow-up. Among the better qualities here is the fact that this one decidedly enhances a crucial aspect of the previous entry in that the action with the killer is incredibly fun. From the beginning where the extended hassling from the police and the final outcome of that encounter in the bushes to the series of fine vehicular torments he puts them through with the rather toying he'll pick them up only to leave or the series of utterly thrilling high-speed car chases through the Outback roads that give this a truly engaging feel with all the high quality action displayed. From there, this one manages to feature even more overt and brutal kills that bring this one into far more chilling territory here as the ruthlessness he exposes gives this one plenty of excessively graphic kills. The fact that this one goes for quite the fun time with the main killer here is quite enjoyable, managing to not only be utterly chilling in his portrayal of the killer but also to make for some fun while he goes through the torments and games he plays. Those come off not only as barbaric and cruel but also insanely fun due to the relaxed and carefree nature he has during these scenes which makes them far more fun than expected and adds a strong outcome to these scenes by making it enjoyable to be with him during these scenes that don't have any real horror to them. It adds to the likable qualities on display that hold it up nicely over the few minor issues that hold this one down somewhat. The film's biggest issue is the rather lengthy and extended time it takes to do something so the pacing to this one is a tad haphazard. The opening encounter with the policemen runs too long, the hitchhikers lost in the Outback is torture to get through and the whole affair has an air that really goes on too long and easily could've been trimmed somewhat. The other issue is the rather goofy-looking and silly CGI used for the kangaroo massacre on the freeway which looks so ridiculous and comical during supposedly a frightening scene that both the concept and momentum of the scene is lost due to the out-of-place effect compared to the more naturalistic efforts used elsewhere. These here are all that really hold it back.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Extreme Graphic Language and violence-against-animals.
Not a bad horror movie but there didn't seem to be a point to it. The whole thing was just a cat chasing mouse situation and there was no actual climax. I spent the entire movie waiting for it to start. There were a few scary gross moments but the tension and suspense were missing. It is nothing like the original.I was also disappointed with John Jarrett. He just wasn't as creepy. He was your run of the mill psychopath...nothing special this time around. It was still entertaining but you could certainly give it a miss.WARNING: This movie has way too much animal cruelty. It was lucky that the special effects were super fake but it still made me want to be sick.
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.
Katarina & Rutger are a couple of German backpackers touring across Australia and one of their stops along the way is Wolf Creek Nature Reserve. It's here that they decide to camp for the night, but it's also here that they come across outback bushman, Mick Taylor. Mick tries to "advise" the couple that they aren't allowed to camp there and offers them a lift to a place that does allow it, but when they refuse, Mick doesn't take it too kindly. While Rutger isn't so lucky, Katarina manages to get away and is picked up by unsuspecting traveller, Paul. Soon realising what is going on when Mick shows up, Paul is dragged into a vicious game of cat-and-mouse and a fight for survival.Wolf Creek 2 isn't actually too bad of a sequel, especially if you don't mind watching a movie you don't have to put any thought process into. The 1st one was a bit more on the psychological side rather than gore (even though there were a few gory parts in it). This one, however, is not psychological at all and is much more gorier than the 1st so gore fans should probably enjoy this one more. Basically, this time it really is your average slasher/serial killer movie.The casting isn't too bad again but some of them are a bit annoying in all honesty and there are much more of the usual cliché's along with those "why the hell don't you just...." moments i.e. being chased by a big rig when you're driving a 4-wheel drive jeep. Hmmmmm go over the rough terrain maybe?! John Jarrett does a good job once again as Mick Taylor, but here he's much more vicious than what he was before. Actually, maybe it just seems that way because you see much more of him here. The ending for this one really is a bit of a mess as well in all honesty as it's just not realistic....unless the Australian cops are just that gullible. It just feels that it was rushed a bit too much.Anyway, overall it's not too bad. Not as good as the 1st but still a decent slasher flick.
