On an exciting journey, Rutger, Katarina and Paul decided to take a big exploration tour within a range of exciting areas. The trip began with carrying backpacks in Australia, where each of the three intends to explore the landscape and tourist attractions in those picturesque areas. Soon after, the three decided to head to the famous Fowl Creek Crater, but their decision would be a nightmare when they became prey to the stalker, Mick Taylor, who would turn things upside down.
Its grindhouse appeal will be enough for some audiences, but I sometimes require more of a statement to be made other than "It hurts when outback psychopaths stab you a bunch."
Wolf Creek 2 both deconstructs and perpetuates the myth of boorishly ugly hospitality Down Under, creating a monster who is a distorted yet recognisable part of the Australian character (especially in the current political climate).
As well made as it is, it would be great to see what McLean could do if he were free from genre conventions and could put his many talents to use in a movie not built around beheadings and dismemberments.
Mick has been reimagined as a chortling, xenophobic butcher who enjoys a singalong of "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" and dismembers his victims with the help of Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces."
Jarratt's outward Outback schtick is designed to entrap, but even without the soft sell approach, the genius of Mclean's creation is that he's part and parcel of the brutal landscape.
