Wolf Creek 2

Começa como uma matança chata e sem originalidade, mas gradualmente assume uma singularidade própria e detém o interesse de um espetador que já viu centenas de filmes semelhantes. O assassino labrego tem algo a seu favor, simplesmente pelo facto de não ser mutante ou de não ter companhia familiar à sua volta, mas parece e age como um vizinho fixe da oficina de automóveis. Pois, até alguém o chatear. E cumpre a palavra do homem. As provas finais da história australiana fazem do filme um marco no mapa do género. E as tomadas dos desertos australianos dão-lhe uma beleza visual não vista em Massacre no Texas ou Terror nas Montanhas. (25/02/2016)

Despite the flaws, whether in the plot or in how it is overall - quite disjointed - it is evident that Australians are constantly evolving and improving. In their films, they showcase themselves, their culture, and their environment, but they are able to approach horror in such an interesting way that it is not only intended for their relatively limited market, but it is an exportable commodity. Personally, I liked the second part even more than the first, perhaps precisely because of the greater professionalism and the apparent effort to play. (18/08/2014)

An uncompromising and nimble genre film that fears nothing and spares no one – in a relatively short space of time, we get a clean head shot, a detailed dismemberment of a man's limb, a bloody Australian rally with the subtitle "Take down the kangaroo", and a visit to a horrifying torture den full of pain and depravity. And starring a likeable good guy and a delectable villain who is a horror freak of the first order. It doesn't bring anything new to the table, and it's striking how blithely and without consequence Taylor runs his perverted tastes across such a large territory, but at least it's a hell of a lot of fun and formally more than decent, so I'm satisfied. 70% (12/11/2015)

Surprisingly, pretty good. I hardly remember the first Wolf Creek, I only have the rather hazy impression of it as a dull and average exploitation movie, but I will refrain from an explicit comparison because, as I say, it’s just a feeling. But Wolf Creek 2 sticks fiercely within the limits of the genre without going any further, but what it does, it does very well. Basically, it’s a cross-section of Australian hixploitation (or ozploitation) where, instead of a proper story, we get several different sequences separated by locations and even characters, and the only thing linking them is the villain, a murderous and cantankerous redneck. So, we see a night attack on a tent, a night chase in the bush, road chases, an attack on a house, etc., etc. Something like ozploitation in a nutshell, even the kangaroos have something to do (though Wake in Fright leads in this regard). Considering its moderate run, it surprisingly checks all the boxes and has a solid tempo. Satisfaction. (21/04/2014)
