"Wolf Creek" is very loosely based on a true story of the real-life serial killer Ivan Milat,who was convicted of killing 7 backpackers and dumping their bodies in the Belangalo Forest,Australia.One of his intended victims,a young British guy,managed to escape and was instrumental in identifying the killer.The filmmakers have used a lot of key points from this case for the movie,for example the physical description of Ivan Milat,the fact that he used a hunting knife and was a gun fanatic.Also he sliced through the spinal cord of most of his victims,paralyzing them before stabbing,shooting,beating and or sexually assaulting them.The personal belongings of his victims were eventually found in a police raid on his home,sleeping bags,tents,backpacks,etc.So the actual story of Wolf Creek isn't true,but the psychopath is a reality.That's why "Wolf Creek" is so terrifying and intense.Director McLean perfectly uses the environment to create an atmosphere of total dread and hopelessness.The film is grainy and offers some fairly brutal scenes of violence and torture,especially towards the female characters.John Jarratt is perfect as Mick Taylor,a sadistic psychopath who stalks tourists.The story is pure,uncluttered and horribly believable,gripping the viewer and never allowing for one second any doubt that the horrors we are witnessing could indeed happen to anyone.Overall,"Wolf Creek" is an intense,decidedly visceral experience that should satisfy fans of relentless horror.9 out of 10.
