I don't want to review Wolf Creek, but I just have to say my "emperor wears no clothes" bit about another movie that people have been tricked into thinking is hip.

Some guts on the road, rotting corpses, severed fingers, that's it for gore. Jeepers Creepers is more gruesome. Every scene in here also exists in one of the movies I listed above. Do you guys like watching the same movie over and over? How about the victim discovering the killers bulletin board of newspaper articles of missing people? How about the victim finding an area where all the other victims' cars have been stashed? How about the killer being incapacitated and the victim not finishing the job? The list goes on and on.
What about the hand held camera action? Is that cutting edge directing? I hated it. The movie with about 45 minutes without any killing. There is so much build up and then... tame shit. I promise, you will not be shocked by the standard-issue "torture" scenes. Also, there is a non-ending, after all, this movie was "based on true events" and the killer was never caught. That may mean something to Australians, but it doesn't mean shit to me. Forget Wolf Crock, it's a total bore.

I agree completely...I just watched this sad excuse for a horror movie and also reviewed it on my blog.
Ugh...this is a movie that has zero redeeming qualities. I was so disappointed and pissed by the end of this film, I felt like pulling the "head on a stick" move on anyone involved in the making of this movie.
Not to mention the whole reason why I watched "Wolf Creek" in the first place, which was because people compared it to the original "Texas Chain Saw Massacre." Besides the whole isolation theme, they have nothing in common. People should be ashamed to compare the great TCSM to this utter waste of time.
GRRRRRR...anyways, great review and great site!
