Night at the movies: Wolf Creek

[Scrivener]

You've heard me whine and moan incessantly about the ratings system here in America. Well, you won't hear it this time. Wolf Creek is the most digusting, senseless, shameless horror films I've seen since House of 1000 Corpses.

I was uncomfortable, and that's all I really want out of my horror films any more (if you make me uncomfortable, you've done a damn good job).

This isn't your typical crazy bad guy kills innocent travelers kind of movie. It's not about the killing so much - it's about the torture. It takes a certain kind of person to enjoy, err, appreciate this particular brand of "horror" as it tends to lean further toward snuff (Faces of Death) than sylish psychological (Ringu, Blair Witch).

Some kids are out exporing the Australian outback when a crazy guy living in the wilderness captures, tortures, and kills the them. This is the entirety of the story... and you get to live it. This movie was designed to make you sick, and it does it. It's horror in the most pure sense. It's not "scary" it's not "thrilling" it's horrible... and I'm as happy as a schoolgirl going to prom with the quarterback and brand new a new dress.

Definately DVD worthy and I'll definately be keeping an eye out for the unrated version.

9/10

SC, don't even think about it. Your head would explode like that guy in Scanners.

Everything I've read about it says that its rubbish, pointless and gory beyond belief. Why would I want to go see it?

For the gore.

There's another on the horizon, Hostel by QT. Gore fests have never looked so good.

So you can recommend it to Jack Thompson in order to get him of his "hate the game" binge?

eat dinner a second time?

indulge in a secret masochist fantasy?

sheer boredom?

Revel in the reactions of others to the unadulterated depravity and twisted horror?

Begin creating a list of possible Uwe Boll punishments?

just a few suggestion, but the list is endless and its too late for me to think properly.
