Wolf Creek

WOLF CREEK (2005) - April 27, 2006
A brutal and entertaining horror film. This got a bad rap when it came out, and I'm not sure why. Sure it was pretty brutal to its characters, but all films of this type are. It probably doesn't help that the bad stuff doesn't go down until around the mid-point of the movie, with the first half spent with the characters traveling across the countryside and having a good time. This makes the sudden brutality of the second half more jarring than it would be otherwise. The movie was well made and entertaining, but I don't think I'll ever be able to look at Crocodile Dundee the same way. ***
