This combined adaptation of serial Bradley Murdoch and Ivan Milat's crimes is often difficult to watch, but McLean's direction and understanding of horror is on full display. Jarratt has crafted an iconic villain for the ages.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 5, 2025

The overall grit and intensity of the picture make it more engaging than similar fare, though still can't escape the subgenre's limitations.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 24, 2023

Stylishly crafted but utterly empty, with a reputation for shock-horror it doesn’t really earn.

| Original Score: D | Sep 20, 2022

Despite its looseness with the truth, Wolf Creek’s commitment to authenticity is very impressive.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 9, 2022

John Jarratt, a mercurial horror icon.

| Jun 10, 2021

One of the 21st Century's best made and most effective horror films.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 1, 2020

Wolf Creek bills itself as "Based On Real Events," a dubious claim since the film is rife with the sort of boneheaded plotting that can only be found in sub-par thrillers of this nature.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 18, 2019

To write Wolf Creek off as a splatter movie would be a serious disservice to the first rate filmmaking and the craftily ambitious ending.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 26, 2019

Terrifying from start to blood-soaked finish.

| Sep 15, 2017

Gets under the skin

I just wanted the damn thing to end...

| Apr 29, 2009

Despite the obvious influences of the original "Chainsaw," "Hills Have Eyes," "Last House," and other kidnap-terror films, you can't predict what is going to happen in this film.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 20, 2008

For all its efforts at avoiding the usual slasher movie nonsense, it does fall back on some familiar, lame plot devices.

| Jul 17, 2008

A sustained plunge into abject horror that isn't meant to be laughed at or shaken off easily.

| Mar 1, 2007

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 30, 2006

...an effective and thoroughly tense horror flick that's stylish without being obtrusive.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 8, 2006

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 12, 2006

A solid flick that was robbed a bit in its theatrical release

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 21, 2006

It's competently made, but that alone doesn't make it a good film.

| Original Score: C | Apr 11, 2006

Esta é a refilmagem que O Massacre da Serra Elétrica merecia.
