The Hollywood Reporter
This film is straight out of the bottle with no metaphoric or psychological pretensions. - 67
Hitfix
If you can't handle extremes in your horror, Wolf Creek 2 is not for you. It is definitely ugly in places, and it wallows in it a bit. - 63
Slant Magazine
There are cheap shocks in the film, but there are also terrifying moments that poetically command our empathy. - 58
The A.V. Club
McLean puts the pedal to the metal from the start, forgoing suspense in favor of instant, gruesome gratification. - 50
The Dissolve
Wolf Creek 2 does all it can to paper over the fact that it shouldn’t exist, but the film severely diminishes the integrity of the first Wolf Creek by turning Mick into a cartoon icon, more Outback legend than man. - 40
Time Out
Mostly, though, this Creek has run dry. - 40
The New York Times
Even more inadvisable was the decision (whether made by Mr. McLean or his backers) to transform the mercurial psychopath Mick Taylor (a truly menacing John Jarratt) into a roguish cartoon. - 38
USA Today
Alas, Wolf tries too hard to shock to be effective.
