Wolf Creek (2005)


Stranded backpackers in remote Australia fall prey to a murderous bushman who offers to fix their car, then takes them captive.

Competent thriller in the wake of  The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, quite nerve-racking, but not adding anything to the genre.

Maltin *1/2: "Yet another would-be BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, this even played in competition at Sundance and Cannes but isn't nearly as special as its Fest cred would indicate....Just another graphic showcase for gore and degradation."
