Film Threat
Every single performance is the result of a cast that has gone to the far reaches of acting ability and even exceeded them. - 80
L.A. Weekly
Full of clever reversals, brief triumphs and bitter setbacks, Wolf Creek is consummately well-crafted, unapologetically vicious and leavened with moments of humor that merely intensify the horror. - 80
Variety
Essentially a worst-case-scenario white-knuckler executed with terrifically focused skill and realism. - 70
Dallas Observer
Writer-director Greg McLean, who has many shorts and commercials under his belt, makes a significant feature debut here, with unapologetic horror that doesn't compromise. - 50
The New York Times
The vogue for retro-horror, particularly the stripped-down shivers of 1970's slasher flicks, continues apace in this nasty little piece of work from Australia. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
An auspicious debut from first time Aussie writer/director Greg Mclean, film combines the style of cheesy horror films and the flair of classic thrillers. - 50
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
John Jarratt is perfectly creepy as the outback loner gone psychotic survivalist who gets his kicks from the systematic degradation and torture of hapless victims. And make no mistake, the ordeal is excruciating. - 40
Village Voice
The ambitions are so paltry that our response should be too: Wolf Creek is unimaginative, light on the grue and heavy on the faux-serious desperation.
