This film is straight out of the bottle with no metaphoric or psychological pretensions. Read full review

Neither as striking nor as fundamentally scary as its predecessor, this pumped-up, robustly crafted pic is still quite a ride. Read full review

If you can't handle extremes in your horror, Wolf Creek 2 is not for you. It is definitely ugly in places, and it wallows in it a bit. Read full review

Wolf Creek 2 does all it can to paper over the fact that it shouldn’t exist, but the film severely diminishes the integrity of the first Wolf Creek by turning Mick into a cartoon icon, more Outback legend than man. Read full review

Even more inadvisable was the decision (whether made by Mr. McLean or his backers) to transform the mercurial psychopath Mick Taylor (a truly menacing John Jarratt) into a roguish cartoon. Read full review

There is a common misconception that Mick Taylor (John Jarratt) was a real person. In fact the character was created from the stories of Australia's most heinous criminals. While the crimes themselves are real, they were committed by a variety of people, not just one man. What made bothThere is a common misconception that Mick Taylor (John Jarratt) was a real person. In fact the character was created from the stories of Australia's most heinous criminals. While the crimes themselves are real, they were committed by a variety of people, not just one man. What made both films work, was the character of Mick Taylor, who while being a horrific serial killer, was still very likeable. Taylor is charismatic and most important of all very funny, and audiences in 2005 ate it up. After the success of the first film, a sequel was immediately planned, but put on hold due to the fact that some of the crimes portrayed in the film, were still being prosecuted in court. The legal issues delayed the film eight years and kept it out of theaters, which is a shame because it was better than the first and received almost no exposure. In the second installment of Wolf Creek, Mick isn't just torturing victims at his dungeon, he's chasing a man through the outback, and when they finally meet, they come to discover that they aren't entirely dissimilar from one another. Ryan Corr (Saw 3D) plays the runner and is just as witty and entertaining as Taylor himself. The chemistry between the too was terrific and gave the series a whole new dynamic, which elevated it to another level. Wolf Creek 2 is so much more intense and at the same time comedic, compared to the first film. It was definitely a risky move by Writer/Director Greg McLean, that really pays off. The Wolf Creek films are no different and no less predictable than any other slasher film. What makes them unique is a character that encompasses the personalities of multiple serial killers and gives the audience the rarest of bad guys, the one that you root for. Even if you don't like slasher films, you may enjoy John Jarratt's extremely strong performance and get a few laughs in between the carnage.… Expand

Wolf Creek 2 is a gorily repellant ride, but one which is almost entirely saved by the streak of hilarious black humor running through it's seams.

The movie was so deliriously OTT that I couldn't stop laughing at points. It's impossible to take something so stupid so seriously and I'm surprised to see certain critics getting so bent out of shape about it. My only complaint is that the finale is a bit of a let-down compared to what came before. But still... "Welcome to Australia, c***sucker!" LMFAO.… Expand

While not as terrifying as the original, Wolf Creek 2 is still a fun, thrilling, and gruesome ride through the Australian outback with everyone's favorite tourist killer, Mick Taylor.

That being said, I've waited a long time for the sequel and I am glad it's here. Mick is a fantastic and underrated horror film icon and the director/writers knew that so they put him dead center in the film and filled it with numerous murders and acts of violence. It's certainly better than the first film and is well worth watching.… Expand

wolf creek 2 is not as good as the first one, there are a couple of moments at the start that kind of take away from the horror and make it seem stupid. john jarratt gives a pretty good performance as in the first movie but i feel he gets better as the movie goes on. pretty ordinary endingwolf creek 2 is not as good as the first one, there are a couple of moments at the start that kind of take away from the horror and make it seem stupid. john jarratt gives a pretty good performance as in the first movie but i feel he gets better as the movie goes on. pretty ordinary ending to this one though nuff said.… Expand

Torture porn goes international so to speak in this disturbingly violent Australian entry into the world of Eli Roth style gore. I didn't see the first Wolf Creek although I'm sure I didn't miss much. It does have some nice photography and a sense of humor.
