Wolf Creek once again proves to be a fatal spot for more unsuspecting youths.
I know I shouldn't really compare it to the original, but I need to. It always seemed like such an odd follow up, this came quite some years after the first. Number one is an iconic horror, packed with tension, an edge of the seat horror, I don't get that vibe here, yes it has its moments, but the humour at times really does outweigh the horror.
Mick Taylor is bizarrely now a character that could genuinely be on a pantomime stage, he's terrifying, but it's all tongue in cheek, he's gone from being a sinister, force of horror to an over the top horse riding comical figure. The acting performance is hard to fault, I'm just not sure on the direction of the character.
Nicely made, definitely has some thrills and scares, it's totally over the top, and simply doesn't have the scares or the terror of the first, but it's a fun ride. 6/10.
