Wolf Creek

After watching the Thai horror flick Shutter, it seems there is no movie that can beat the creep out of me (excluding obviously The Exorcist). I can’t term this one as a full on horror movie, but it does make you sit at the edge of your seats. The whole story is loosely based on the Australian Outback Murders as goes the movie tagline, “Based on true events”.

Story revolves around  three young backpackers in their twenties who return from a hike in Wolf Creek National Park in the Australian Outback to find that their car won’t start. They accept help from a seemingly friendly local bushman. He tows their car to his camp, an abandoned old mine site.

The movie is quite fresh in it’s looks and the effort has to be appreciated. Though the movie lacks any hardcore thrill elements, but it’s worth a watch for movie goers.  Acclaimed film director/writer Quentin Tarantino called it the scariest film he had ever seen. But I personally think the movie can be termed as a well-made low-budget thriller. In Australia Wolf Creek debuted at Number 1 on November 6 making $900,000 AUD.

Wolfe Creek is actually a meteorite impact crater in Western Australia, which is central to the Wolfe Creek Meteorite Crater National Park. So guys rent your DVDs out this weekend and enjoy the cheap thrills.
