Wolf Creek Ratings & Reviews
- JakeysFebruary 3, 2026Surprised to see the RT reviews, I thought this was pretty well regarded. Horror's not usually my bag but this is one of the best I've seen, and it's owed almost entirely to John Jarratt's incredible, world class performance. Maybe it resonates more with Aussies, because I think you need to be an Aussie to recognise how eerily true to life Mick Taylor is. I could believe I've met this guy in a pub somewhere, and that makes him far scarier than most horror villains.
- ርልዪረFebruary 1, 2025One of my favourite horror films of the last decade I would recommend this film to anyone who hasn't seen it yet or anyone who has an interest in the horror genre. The film starts off like an MTV video (the director Greg McLean used to make music videos) with a group of young backpackers partying. But the film soon kicks into gear as they start their journey into the Australian outback.
- Allie TranJuly 1, 2025This film really put me onto Australian horror films. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but worth a watch if you’re into the more disturbing stuff.
- 303br3January 19, 2026Not bad.
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025I’m not normally a fan of slashers that take their sweet time getting to the killings, but something about this one felt like it was perfectly setting the mood. The picturesque Australian scenery certainly helps. I also think the fact that this is based on a true story didn’t actually have me as eager to witness some grisly murders. This is a mean little thriller though and I loved it.
- jackmeatFebruary 19, 2025My quick rating - 6.3/10. Cannot say the extra 5 minutes changed anything for me (the Uncut version). Nor could I tell you what was different either. Still, a nicely made serial killer flick that is well-acted and creepy. The middle of nowhere is filmed to make sure it feels as such. Mick (John Jarratt) does a spectacular job as the creepy killer and the vacationers do just fine as his prey. Maybe a higher body count and take out some spots of the plot that seemed out of place. Even without that, you are still sitting on a good flick.
