Wolf Creek Review

This is one of those movies where its based on a true story, but you leave questioning how much of it is fact or fiction. Set in the Australian outback, some folks in the audience might have some trouble understanding the heavy Aussie and British accents throughout the film. There are very few characters in this movie, but it doesn't have a low-budget look to it. There are frightening moments and scenes that make you want to cover your eyes like a good horror movie should, but in the end, there isn't very much to the story and it takes way too long to get going. The first half of the movie shows everyday college kids partying and then going on a long road trip. Not much happens. Once the movie gets going, there are some really tense and gross moments, but not much else. Some folks might leave the theater thinking, I liked the movie the first time I saw it when it was called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
