that is overhype.... it's not the most disturbing thing ever produced (but what is i wonder!?)
BUT
this movie is really really great. If you go in expecting wall-to-wall horror you will be disappointed as it takes its time pacing-wise.... relying on the beautiful scenery and the actors for a slow build until you finally see John Jarratt pop up. The movie is really really great though.... i had an opportunity to see it a few weeks ago and was really blown away by it. The director is now doing a giant croc movie and i think i heard Jarratt was gonna be in it as well as maybe having a part in the new Quentin Tarantino movie. There was a whole story that Tarantino told when he was in town showing this movie from the 80s called Dark Age (a fantastic Australian giant croc movie shot by Andrew Lesnie who went on to shoot the lord of the rings trilogy) about how John Jarratt is his favorite Australian actor and him saying that indirectly caused Jarratt to get the part in Wolf Creek...
anyway... yeah definitely go and see this but don't expect it to be on a completely higher level. it's still just a horror movie.
