Lured by the promise of an Australian holiday, exchange student Paul visits the notorious Wolf Creek Crater. His dream Outback adventure soon becomes a horrific reality when he encounters the site’s most infamous local, Mick Taylor (John Jarratt). When Paul attempts to flee, Mick pursues him across a hostile wasteland and eventually drags him back to his underground lair. After seeing the true magnitude of Mick’s monstrosity, Paul’s only hope of surviving, where no one has before, will be to use every ounce of cunning to outwit the man behind the monster.

Mick is the real deal.
Sequels generally water down the concept of the original. Not this one. This one sets the bar a bit higher. There is still the base isolation plot at work here but, you get to know Mick a bit more in this one and some justified motives are established. Love the blood and gore. That's something I expect in this genre and too many directors in modern times are to chicken s*** to deliver the goods and stick to boring zombie/vampire/werewolf movies for fear of not making it to the big screen. Mick has definitely established himself as a horror icon and I look forward to another movie. Of course, at some point he is going to have to get caught and either find a way to weasel out of being vanquished or maybe get devoured by dingos in the wilderness to call it a career. It would be nice to write a script where Mick has the tables turned on him and see how that plays out. All of you downrating this because of the blood and gore are the same people who would complain about a NASCAR driver driving too fast. Go watch Twilight and leave the gems like this for the true horror fans.

Not for the squimesh!
Part two was even more graphic than the first! I'm really not surprised that these films were based on true stories, given this is a huge world with too many areas to have enough law enforcement to cover it all, at all times.It's easy to have hidden out of the way torture chambers in less travelled arears. There's a lot of psychos, disturbed outcasts, etc. Out there who lie in wait for unsuspecting tourists.These films gives us all a moment to pause and think about just how safe we really are when we choose to plan our next trip. People are vanishing all over the globe every day never to be seen again! This film is an eye opener!!

Unpredictable Australian Mad Man- Really enjoyed this movie
My son and I love horror movies. We have seen every horror movie you can buy or rent world wide from the 1970's till present. WE get pumped up waiting for the next big horror movie to come out. (to buy, DVD, Vudu, Netflix, Theaters, Google movies, U-tube, you name it) And we seen the first Wolf Creek, pretty good, but this ONE IS BETTER. I give it 4 stars, because, I guess I'm a crazy sicko chic, that loves intense suspense, and gore in these movies. Especially when the characters are good enough to pull you in and keep you glued to your sofa. Mick is a total trip, (the older man). Love the accent and he has a strong one. He is a total unpredictable mad man looking for foreigners traveling (camping, hitchhiking) in his homeland of Australia. And the English guy in the jeep played a great part as well. Don't want to give to much away. Definitely worth a watch if you love Horror movies with a twist. Bring on more Australian movies. Can't get enough of them......I have to watch this one again.....

A prequal based loosely on fact
This movie is titled Wolf Creek 2 and it was made in 2014. However, the actual Wolf Creek series I saw on Cable TV was made in 2016. This number 2 is actually a prequel not a sequel. Also, Wolf Creek 2 is graphically violent and not for the squeamish. In fact, it is more graphic than the later series. It is based on an Aussie serial killer and one of his victims.

IF YOU LIKED THE FIRST ONE, DON'T MISS THIS ONE.
Even after having bought and seen the first of this "mini series" of Wolf Creek, I was more, much more, surprised at the content of this one, Wolf Creek 2. I think that the movie has gone over the top in portraying what is supposed to be a movie based on a true event.I live here in the Northern Territory, as the crow flies, not all that far from the scene of the crime, Wolf Creek. Don't get me wrong, I do recall the "true story" actual event. A series of crimes of this nature really did happen. However, the films hierarchy have taken it upon themselves to upgrade this event to something of an impossibility. You see, the actual event was similar (in some ways) to that portrayed in this movie as well as the first movie.Both of these movies lead the viewer to ask, "How could so many people disappear and die without the culprit being caught?" The scale of death and destruction depicted in the two movies is NOT reality. It has been made this way as a huge attention getter. In truth, I loved the first movie and definitely loved this one. If horror is your scene, then I know you will be happy with this movie. Go and get it,,,,,but, DO NOT SHOW IT TO YOUR KIDS.

Worthy sequel
This movie is intense and delivers. Most sequels are a waste, I'm glad I got this one.

Scary enough, but the sometimes-overbearing violence almost cancels that out.
Inspired by true events? Ha! If I had a nickel every time I've seen that in a movie's opening credits! Just the same, though, I won't be going to the Australian outback any time soon (ha!), which is the setting for "Wolf Creek 2." While admittedly scary and suspenseful in certain parts, and better than most movies in this genre, that's almost outweighed by heavyhanded (almost suffocating) gore and grisly, hard-to-watch violence (especially the NR version). An ideal scary movie would be one with more shocks and fear of the unknown (there's no mystery here, no puzzle to solve) versus what would even make a general surgeon queasy. And although it sounds odd, this movie's sense of humor is hard to find, unlike, say, "An American Werewolf in London," which contained just the right mix of suspense, humor, and violence to leave the viewer wanting to see it again. This movie will likely not leave you wanting more (I can't imagine someone possibly buying a copy of this movie or getting it as a present!). But I must say that the acting is above average, and it'll probably suffice for scary-movie night as one-time viewing for adults, if you go for this sort of thing, have a strong enough stomach, and know that you may need to turn away...a lot!
