Wolf Creek
Liz Hunter and Kristy Earl are twenty-something British backpackers in Broome, Western Australia, on a road trip with their Australian friend, Ben Mitchell. For them it's a time to cut loose, reconnect, and rediscover life, friendship, perhaps newfound love, and the countryside's astonishing visual beauty. However, a cross-country trip soon becomes a fight for their lives.
Wolf Creek is basically Wrong Turn set in Australia. It's a trite tale of twentysomething friends looking for "adventure" and finding crazy people out in the middle of nowhere. You've seen this story before, unfortunately I'm sure you'll see it again. I realize that Deliverance was a well-made movie that catered to some of our basic fears, however it is not necessary to continuously crank out poorly made "remakes".
As is typically for all movies like there there is plenty to justify the R-rating including, gratutitous violence and stomach-turning gore.
If you want to see a movie about people from civilization being attacked, captured, or killed by crazy hillbillies, rent Deliverence. Keep moving folks, nothing to see here.
