Many people were hugely disappointed by the original Wolf Creek, largely because it sold itself as the most terrifying film ever made which turned out to be nonsense. I ordered the unrated version online here in the UK because I wanted to see it in full (I have an intense hatred for all things BBFC) but even that was limp and uneven. That said, the tourist hating killer within definitely had something going for him, and I wasn't totally adverse to watching him again on a second outing, so it was with some low expectations I approached WC2, and my was I pleasantly surprised. . . It looks as if they had a major rethink of the film this time, and while there was some humour in part one, this time it's amped up to ten. I laughed many many times at the (dark) comedy Wolf Creek has now become - but this may depend on what your sense of humour is like (mine's a little twisted) as the laughs always accompany some gory scenes. There are one liners while a penis is lopped off, where a field of kangaroos get wiped out, some Germans get offed, and as fingers are removed with a grinder, it's bloody fantastic. And the previous attempt at being all serious has been left behind with fun being the driving force now. Honestly this is the most fun flick I've seen this year, and after 3 viewings it didn't lose its charm. I know many horror fans will probably avoid this movie because of being let down by part one, but you'll be missing a true gem this time. Check it out, a new horror anti hero is born.
