Synopsis
========

Two girls and a guy head out in the car they have just bought into the outback of Australia to find a place where a meteor has struck known as wolf creek. When they arrive they head out to check it out. When they arrive back at the car it fails to start. A nice and helpful bush man arrives seemingly randomly and toes them back to his place where he can fix the car for them.

The nice man who helps them turns out to be a particularly sadistic serial killer who preys on the people who visit Wolf Creek, he presumably damages their cars while they are hiking then "rescues" them later.

He then gets them to drink something (that I assume is laced with a tranquilizer of some kind). They wake up in all sorts of trouble at the hands of this psychopath.

How will they escape, what follows is a cat and mouse game, the loser losing their life.


Summary
=======

I almost missed the best part of this movie as I almost turned it off after fifty minutes of watching three people in a car drive. Then just as I reached for the stop button I heard screaming, so I left it on. It seems as though the first fifty minutes of this film is just a filling exercise, almost as bad as the Blair Witch Project.

From then on it gets exciting and quite gruesome. I must admit to initially quite enjoying the last forty minutes, it is quite dark and fast paced, and very gory. However, there are too many plot holes to make it any more than an average horror film. You'll be shouting things like, "No, don't do that" and "why didn't she do this?" at the screen frequently.

There's one thing for sure though, remember what your mummy told you about talking to strangers, well this underlines that statement very effectively.

To top it all, I thought it was a film about wolves... I didn't even see one. The film is loosely based on a true story, although it would have you believe it is completely true. If you like gore then you might like this.
