It looks like a cat and mouse game. The series begins with Eve, a 19-year-old US tourist targeted by serial killer Mick Taylor. It may be a series of conflicts, but Eve survives his attack and begins a reprisal mission in search of revenge, as he plans again for stronger and more dangerous conflicts.
This is a gripping and chilling series that shows that Wolf Creek has always been cleverer and richer than it might seem, although strong stomachs are required.
"Mad Max: Fury Road," is set in a world pushed to the brink by nuclear conflict and the polluted survivors battling over the scarcity of the Earth's remaining resources. "Wolf Creek" is fuelled by the same fear rippling from the wilds of the outback.
Many of the flaws stem from a frustratingly inconsistent narrative. The series can't decide if it wants to be a single heart-pounding tale of revenge, or a more meditative and sprawling journey throughout the remote Australian countryside.
It was a tough thing to pull off but Greg McLean and his crew have done an admirable job repackaging his 2005 horror film into a revenge-driven TV series.
