Wolf Creek is about young travellers being tortured and is just as disturbing as Hostel, but it lacks an advertising campaign, so it's harder to get worked up it about for people who are looking to flex their first year psych readings out in the field. Worse, the film hails from Australia, which makes it foreign, so you can't cite the stupid American film going public or the morally bankrupt Hollywood system in your disdain. While technically having less gore than Hostel, the brutal and gratuitous violence in Wolf Creek lacks all of Hostel's over-the-topness and dark humour, making Wold Creek actually much harder to watch.
The movie does everything right from the get-go, going down the "good horror movie" checklist: spending lots of time with very likable characters before they're killed, putting the characters in situations the audience can relate to, and then making the horror very believable. Once the shit hits the fan, it's pretty grueling, and so I have to give the movie a mild horror recommendation. And by likable characters, I'm saying that one of the girls is really cute, and the other has large breasts.
However, the movie's ending, though thank Christ is not a crazy twist, does betray the premise that it's a true story and left me outraged. After dropping a bomb on me through on-screen narration text, like the end of the Hot for Teacher video, the movie doesn't elaborate and just ends. Now that I'm really interested, the movie ends. Maybe it's ironic that this is what outrages me, and if I'm using irony incorrectly, I'm sure someone will let me know. |
