DVD Review: Wolf Creek (2005)

In Attendance- Me, Geo, Machine and Chris.
Cast Members of Note- The Awesome John Jarratt, and the hotness of Kestie Morassi.

Wolf Creek is a story about a guy trying to have a threesome with a hot chick and her less hot friend, and everything subsequently going to hell. Leave it to the Aussie bloke to mess it up with two slutty binge-drinking Brits. Oy! His bright idea is to take them to see some crusty old crater in the middle of the outback and make his move; but when their car won't start, and they are forced to accept a tow back to some creepy old bastard's "Rape Ranch," he realizes he's fair dinkum! (I don't actually know what that means.)

"Tag, you're it luv!"

Mick (the creepy old bastard), gets them drunk and decides he's going to kill them all, instead of going on with his normal day filled with raping the local Roo's. They play fun games like "Tag," "I'm going to rape you," and "Parcheesi." He actually turns out to be a pretty good host. I won't spoil the ending for you here, but suffice it to say that only one person escapes with their life, and the true Cowboy amongst them rides off into the sunset.

Ok, so he walks off into the sunset.

Grade-A Horror is what we have here. Its nice to see a movie come along that isn't the same old crap that we Horror fans are forced to suffer through by American cinema. Disturbing, tense, bleak, and unsettling describe it best, and overall, it's exactly the kind of film that we Horror fans crave.

John Jarratt is a gem in this one as Mick, the creepy outback rape/kill guy. His performance is genuinely disturbing, and he makes us feel his menace the whole time.

"What's uuuuuuup!"

Can't anyone be neighborly anymore without feeling the need to rape/torture/terrorize/hunt and kill innocent kids? Sigh.

"Oy, I'm trying to get laid here!"

The one who lived at the end wasn't the one I thought it would be. They tricked me. Twice.

How cute... she thinks running is going to work.

Head on a stick! There is plenty of blood and disturbing violence here, including some eye sniping, crucifixion, stabbing, and general torture.

Teach er' her lesson, mate!

We get an obscured view of a naked chick jumping in the ocean, but that's about it.

Why no naked?

"See? Head on a stick!" or "Nothing like rain water from the Top-End."

Don't drink the water from the Top-End. Also, craters suck.

Worst lesbian kiss ever.

This is one of the best Horror movies to come out in a long time, and certainly one of the best of this decade. If you like gritty, nasty, backwoods survival Horror flicks, then you owe it to yourself to check this one out.
