Review of Wolf Creek

Wolf Creek (2005)
3/10
Depraved.

Warning: Spoilers
OK spoiler: 3 young people go traveling across Australia's interior. They break down. Then, a redneck tortures and kills them. One barely escapes. The end.

If this was indeed based on a true story, it demanded a documentary or something like that.

It's a shame, too. Australia is clearly an astoundingly beautiful place, and a lot of the wilderness shots alone might have otherwise made this film worth watching.

The three victims were likable enough. I'm not sure what my reaction was supposed to be, other than repulsed, then bored, then ticked off.

And that is tedious.

I have no complaints about the performances, camera work, or otherwise. The story, however, was rotten.

This is a pointless movie, unless you like to watch cruelty for cruelty's sake. No twists, no revenge, just, abduction - torture - escape - chase - recapture - kill. What a waste of some beautiful scenery and decent actors.
