Originally posted by Capo de La Cosa Nostra: [b]Wolf Creek Greg McLean 2004 Australia (2nd time; TV) Three backpackers, an Australian male and two English tourists, get stranded in the Outback, and take the offered help of a seemingly genuine local. Effective, confident piece of filmmaking; it looks marvellous, presenting beautiful images of the Australian landscape as if from a postcard, which are contradicted by the brutal violence. The opening hour is a subtle lesson on how to absorb and ultimately wrong-foot the audience; the second hour is a tremendously sustained gore-fest reminiscent of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.[/b]
Glad you enjoyed it Capo. I really dug it in the theaters, but not as much on DVD. At the time I would have said I liked Wolf Creek more than Hostel but today I'd say the opposite was true.
