(1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 58% Rotten Page   1   "It is almost as if a hardcore survival horror film had been infiltrated (and slyly undermined) by the quieter mysticism of Peter Weir's Picnic At Hanging Rock..."   Eye for Film   Anton Bitel D- "There are many things both slapdash and screwy with Creek, but McLean's biggest sin is the 60-minute set-up before the horror kicks in."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "To call Wolf Creek's U.S. Christmas opening counter-programming surely understates the strategy."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "...an effective and thoroughly tense horror flick that's stylish without being obtrusive."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C "It's competently made, but that alone doesn't make it a good film."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3.5/4 "The gritty, starkly uncompromising Wolf Creek comes as a breath of fresh air--or, a breath of freshly coughed-up blood."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3.5/4 "In this era of horror films soullessly carted out of Hollywood, Wolf Creek immediately stands apart from the pack."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B- "A fairly effective slasher movie, equal parts tense set-up and horrific prolonged climax."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "A fine, gritty, suspenseful, and yes, enjoyable genre piece."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C- "While the movie is certainly unsettling, and even repulsive in parts, it's not actually frightening; graphic depictions of mindless cruelty are more revolting than scary."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/4 "What Wolf Creek offers is a competently made horror excursion with an unfortunate reliance upon clichés balanced off by some legitimate shocks."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "McLean has some skill, and we’ll probably be hearing more from him in coming years, though I can’t say I’m looking forward to it."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox 2/5 "Nothing more than the Australian man's Texas Chainsaw Massacre; another film that's a little to liberal with a certain title card..."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi "We know these characters are headed for slaughter, so the fun comes in seeing how long the filmmakers can sustain the suspense before clubbing us over the head."   Light Views   John Larsen 3.5/5 "A solid flick that was robbed a bit in its theatrical release"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr B- "...its debt to...Texas Chainsaw Massacre is obvious. Still, this is a gritty flick that must be giving Australia's Outback tourism industry a bad case of heartburn. "   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 1/3 "Greg McLean parte de la situación típica de un slasher pero (..) imprimiendo un tono muy realista a Wolf Creek. Lo real no es siempre lo mejor."   Off-Off-Critica   MalaBesta C "Wolf Creek is a well-made film, but its technical merits are overwhelmed by the disgust registered as it wallows in some of the nastiest human behavior imaginable."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "Well, there goes my dream of driving across Australia."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson A "An austere descent into inexplicable, unbridled mayhem."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 4/5 "Esta é a refilmagem que O Massacre da Serra Elétrica merecia."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3/5 "One of the most viciously nasty horror thrillers in recent memory. But the extreme grisliness is purely gratuitous."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 2/5 "'Based on a true story!' - except for all the nasty stuff we just made up."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg C "... the ordeal is excruciating -- for the audience and for the victims..."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 1/10 "This violent horror picture is gratuitously vicious, gruesome and repulsive. Don't say you weren't warned!"   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 1.5/4 "No new ideas, and runs out of old ones fast."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 26) of 26 OFCS Rating: 58% Rotten Page   1
