    A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

    Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

    The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

    An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

    I watched Wolf Creek 2 before Wolf Creek. Maybe I shouldn't have but this totally wrecked the first one for me, because in comparison the first film is so dull.If you're after a high action, gory slasher flick you should do the same! You will have to watch this movie for almost an hour to get any kind of fear or suspense, and even then it isn't worth it. Skip this movie and watch the second one instead.

    Based on the Wolf Creek movies: "Wolf Creek (2005)" and "Wolf Creek 2 (2013)" which I liked so I had high hopes for the series, but unfortunately it didn't quite deliver.It has it's moments particularly in the first and last episodes but the road there is a bit sketchy with far too many detours adding multiple characters to the mix which takes away from the main story.John Jarrat is back as the bad guy Mick Taylor and that's great but for some reason the creators doesn't think that he's enough of a threat in the series so they randomly throw in a biker-gang as well.Lucy Fry is our heroine in the saga, everything about her just screamed "model" to me when I saw her, from the lack of emotion in expression down to her walk, so it was unsurprised when I now googled her and found out that she in fact was a model before she took up acting.I mean she's not at like Claudia Schiffer level of acting or anything but the character she plays undergoes a transition that need to be dealt with by an actress with a little more experience.A direct quote from hers in real life is "I am enough - you don't need to do anything. The simplicity of how easy acting can be." And that would explain why her performance became what it is and I would probably tell her to rethink that idea.Anyway, overall the series is okay but in the end somewhat pointless and it could have been a lot better if they didn't lose focus as often as they did.

    Being a huge fan of Wolf Creek and part 2 the movies - then just last week discovering a MINI SERIES had been made..... I was absolutely jumping for joy. I binge watched this yesterday.Mick is back and (had to be) played by the incredible John Jarrett. His one liners, gory kills and general nastiness makes Wolf Creek. He is a terrific nasty piece of work you love to hate.... a true bad guy in every sense.So this is a mini series - six parts. That my friends is one flaw to start with - the six parts are muddled and full of unnecessary filler material. The kicker is it starts off with SUCH promise - Mick is introduced within the first 10 minutes with a BANG - from then on the story of one survivor recovering from that ordeal then slowly seeking revenge begins.Along the way this portrays the Ozzie outback in a very nasty crude way - by god if you plan to travel there NEVER speak to ANY man at all - according to the writers and director ALL men are murderous vile inbred rapists - or members of gangs with a below zero IQ. This does not paint a nice picture of the outback. Should the Australia tourist board watch this they should be enraged. God forbid if they endorsed this?Forgetting the tourist side of things the problem with Wolf Creek the series is you could easily have condensed it into a 3 parter. Filler and side plots with silly characters and for me personally not enough of MICK. To sum up begins well - lots of ridiculous filler - On a positive note it ties things up nicely and you do get some flashback footage on Mick as a child and why he became a savage ill feeling cold blooded killer. Maybe just a Wolf Creek 3 would have been a better idea?

    I was leery of watching this series but found it to be far better than both films. There is quite an arc from Episode 1 to Episode 6 and gives the young protagonist ample opportunity to shine as a kind-hearted, smart, yet tough deliverer of justice. There is something so satisfying, watching a character grow the way Eve does. Along the way in the narrative, she has to toughen up even more and grow up quickly to achieve her objective. And there's hardship and a lot of pain along the way. I appreciated that this is not merely a slice and dice horror series (the films are fine and offer an effective urban legend, but the overwhelming gore and terror wore me out), but something with nuance and back story. The episodes give you time to really care about the people involved in Eve's journey. And how refreshing there is a love story that transcends physical lust; more like two souls that found each other but ultimately couldn't be together. As to the acting, mostly quite good. Lucy Fry, who has the gravitas and strength of a young Robin Wright, excels as Eve, out to avenge her loss. She is ably supported by a number of characters, particularly Dustin Clare as Sullivan, the police officer compelled to help her at any cost, a kindly female truck driver, and an escaped prisoner who becomes an ally. John Jarratt does his usual believable, sinister performance as the game-playing butcher, Mick, the guy you never want to run into in a dark alley, the Outback or anywhere else.Great job.
