Re: Wolf Creek
I saw it last night, it's a good film, but certainly not the most disturbing thing ever made. I didn't find it any worse than, say, Last House on the Left or Texas Chainsaw Massacre (which it is highly derivative from), and that's got a good twenty-five years or so on this film.
John Jarrat is so menacing in it. I like the way he comes off as a fairly amiable bloke to begin with. You really do want to like him. But then when you witness this truly horrifying side to him, he just oozes power and malice and sadism. The minimalist soundtrack was also nice, especially during the 'waking up' scene.
Have to agree with you Goat in being a bit disappointed in what felt like a fairly rushed ending.
Big boo's go to the two idiots in the cinema that I saw it in, who took their mentally handicapped friend along with them to the movie. Once all the nasty shit started to happen he promptly freaked out, wailing and kicking the chair in front of him, and was escorted out the cinema. Nice work guys.
