Wolf Creek
Unlike The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes-- both of which were only tenuously linked to a recent true life case or historical instance-- this Australian thriller purports to be based...

Nice review. This film received a fair-to-good review here in the Big D, but I think Haute Tension (along with the interesting-but-gory Creep, and perhaps The Devil's Rejects) has turned me off the...

A movie like this is so much more upsetting than say House of Wax or Wrong Turn because it dispenses with all the self-conscious editing and camerawork that always help to take you out of the movie....

Well, Saw 2 is due for release tomorrow, so Wolf Creek shouldn't be too far behind. *sigh* I'm gonna rent Saw 2, so I'll probably bite the bullet and rent Wolf Creek, too. Hostel is still a question...

Agreed on the rifle butt sequence. One of those unhappy moments where I find myself having to resist the urge to shout at the screen. All things considered, I didn't find it to be quite as bad as I...

I was really impressed with this movie. It took the time to let us get to know the leads and they were all very likable. It made the second half of the movie even more effective......

Finally caught up with this & loved it. I can't really add to the comments here, but I started a new thread with a couple of thoughts if anyone's interested:...
