Takes everything that works about the original while injecting intentional humor and absurdity to make for an experience that surpasses its predecessor.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2023

The film ends up working, somewhat, more or less.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 10, 2020

Feels like a lazy bid to cash in on the Ozploitation success of the first film.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2019

Sure, there is not much variety in this sequel beyond what was previously displayed in McLean's jumpy predecessor almost a decade ago. Still, Wolf Creek 2 has a low-key piercing of outlandishness that registers emphatically.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 10, 2018

The tension is non-stop and the dialogue, fiendishly good.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 27, 2017

The Wolf Creek series hits the wall with this hopelessly ineffective and mostly tedious entry...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 16, 2017

Starts out strong and unpredictable -- and then slowly (very slowly) runs out of steam.

| Aug 24, 2015

A brutal and admirably grueling serial-killer thriller, this Australian import is also repetitive and ultimately a little dull.

| May 19, 2014

Its grindhouse appeal will be enough for some audiences, but I sometimes require more of a statement to be made other than "It hurts when outback psychopaths stab you a bunch."

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 18, 2014

Jarratt's outward Outback schtick is designed to entrap, but even without the soft sell approach, the genius of Mclean's creation is that he's part and parcel of the brutal landscape.

| Original Score: B | May 17, 2014

While the politics and film as a whole are not entirely successful, there is much to admire in Wolf Creek 2, not the least if which is director Greg McLean's chutzpah.

| Original Score: C+ | May 16, 2014

If you can stomach it, another great, lupine performance as Outback psycho-killer by Aussie actor John Jarratt.

| Original Score: B | May 16, 2014

"Wolf Creek 2" isn't much different than "Wolf Creek," but it is markedly worse.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 16, 2014

Sooner or later, you have to serve up something more compelling than an abattoir. For Wolf Creek 2, that's the only purpose of the exercise.

| Original Score: C+ | May 16, 2014

"Wolf Creek 2" is gory, disturbing, inventive, twisted and rather well made.

| Original Score: B- | May 16, 2014

A fast-moving, lean killing machine that will delight genre fans.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 16, 2014

As well made as it is, it would be great to see what McLean could do if he were free from genre conventions and could put his many talents to use in a movie not built around beheadings and dismemberments.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 15, 2014

Mick has been reimagined as a chortling, xenophobic butcher who enjoys a singalong of "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" and dismembers his victims with the help of Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces."

| May 15, 2014

Ultimately the sequel's raisons d'tre seem to be emulating superior movies, from "Deliverance" to "Joy Ride" to "Saw."

| May 15, 2014

Offers little in the way of new thrills.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 15, 2014
