After reading all the great reviews about this movie, I rented it on DVD. What a waste! Wolf Creek has everything a bad horror movie should have in it: potential victims making every mistake in the book so that they are even easier targets for the psycho killer, shallow characters, no background story and an aimless plot. Even the title is ridiculous, since the tourist spot known as Wolf Creek is only featured for about 5 minutes out of the entire movie.
The only redeeming quality about it is that it shows some great Australian scenery, but this is no horror film. I mean, even after the major shift in personality, the villain is still pretty likable and not at all credible.
Please support the "WE WANT MORE R-RATED HORROR MOVIES" campaign, but avoid this one like the plague. It does nothing for the genre.
