Wolf Creek

I enjoy horror films as much as the next person, and I was genuinely intruiged by this film. It's apparently based on true events (although I found out that none of the characters are real nor are any of the things that happened to them) and is set in Australia.

The first 45 minutes of the movie are a total bore. I couldn't believe how incredibly fed up I was with it. 45 minutes of partying, chatting between the backpackers, filling up the car with petrol, driving along saying nothing.... I desperately wanted something to happen. Oh, and when they were all sitting round the fire having a farting contest, I just wanted to fling the bloody disk out the window.

I have to say, the gore (when it finally did arrive) was not too bad at all. Definitely made me squirm in parts and did capture my interest... if only slightly.

The wide shots of the landscape were probably the best thing about this film. Wide, sweeping shots of Australia were dotted throughout the film, all looked stunning.

This was quite a forgettable film. I doubt if I'll ever have the desire to watch it again.
