Wolf Creek *** (1st time; big screen)
2005, McLean, Australia
Three backpackers, an Australian male and two English tourists, are stranded in the Outback, and take the offered help of a seemingly genuine local.
Effective, confident piece of filmmaking; taking measured turns in subtlety and hard-hitting violence, it is a fine blend of past horrors, while also managing to stand on its own as a psychological and aesthetic treat.

A contender for film of the year.
