Wolf Creek

[DeadByDawn]

I saw this shortly after it was released on DVD and I've grown to like it even more with each viewing. I really like the fact that it gave us time to get to know the characters before anything bad really happens to them. I don't really like it that the conflict was only there for 45 minutes. I feel that they could've stretched the running time ten more minutes (in the second half, of course).

I was let down by this, a lot of people in my school when it came out, new I was a horror fan (and the only "hardcore") one. So people were rushing to me telling me how scary and violent and hard to watch it was. I should have known better than to take their words for granted, as they probably watched Disney films 90% of the time. I watched it and was very let down, I love the killer though, Taylor was utterly badass. I actually met the actor as well (when I met Robert Englund). He is hilarious in person and just swears at everyone. He said they are doing a second one and something about Feb next year. I think he said that's when filming starts, or, implied it anyway. I think.

I liked the first one. Thought it was a good violent flick, but definitely not the most violent thing I have ever seen.

I liked this movie a lot as well, I wasn't subjected to any hype so I didn't expect anything going in which may have helped.

My buddy told me about it originally and said it was great. So, I went ahead and bought it for like 5 bucks and was pleasantly surprised.

The movie is very good but clearly not the most violent shit ever. But it came a sa good surprise to me. It gave me what I was looking for so I'm pretty satisfied with it.

It was alright...wouldn't recommend it to a hardcore horror fan though.

I liked Wolf Creek. The slow build up was cool because it relates to real life in the way that everything starts out ok, then the dialogue takes a turn toward someone making their move toward intentional violence, almost as if the "red flag" goes off, but you really hope you're wrong and go along with things anyway.

I also like the car John Jarratt used. I'm a sucker for cool cars being in a movie. Then you have Andy McPhee thrown in for a moment which adds to it. He's just menacing.

Anyway, the whole "flee the killer" thing works because it shows that the victims are on someone else territory which makes the challenge even greater as opposed to a movie where say, a home invasion or something around your own town takes place where you know your way around.

A few boring things here and there as any film, but overall I liked it. 7/10.

I recently just saw this for the first time this past week. I know I'm slow. Haha.

I liked it. Didn't love it, but the concept was creepy. You really can not trust too many people these days and this is a great example. The killer seemed like an average joe with a bad ass sense of humor who turned out to be a complete nut job.

I think it would have affected me more if I lived in Austraila. Not going to lie.
