Wolf Creek

... & so the movies continue into this great TV series. It's nice to see John Jarratt back as Mick. The series makes for number of episodes that follow on from each other. When you watch these episodes you forget you're watching a TV series, you still think you're watching another "Wolf Creek" movie. The cast are brilliant. I especially like the character Sullivan Hill (played by Dustin Clare). All in all a great series and I hope this continues its great success.

Series 1 got off to a great start but then it was just...meh. A fairly uninspiring female lead, incompetent police, completely unrealistic scenarios, a cast of walking cliches. Has its moments but overall, pretty disappointing.

Series 2 I really liked. A diverse cast of characters, some humour, and much more Mick Taylor.

I'm hoping Season 3 will maintain the quality of season 2 or improve on it.

The first season was vintage Mick and could not have been improved upon much. I watched all 6 episodes on one day. Watch it, highly recommended.

The second season's victims were plagued by dumb dialogue and idiotic behaviour. The worst were the asinine arguments they had with each other. The entire cast was unlikeable and the only one I may have wanted to know more about was killed in the second episode, as was the one I saw as the reluctant but ultimately capeable leader. With noone left to root for it was difficult to get motivated and watch this. Mick couldn't shine much because his opponents were all but handing themselves to him. On a positive side, it made me look for Men at Work - Down Under.

I hope there'll be more seasons as long as they are like season one, and season 2 is only used to showcase what not to do. And forget the lame attempts at magic. Mick is terrifying because he is rooted in reality and one could run into someone like him any day.

Why people would write a negative review about this mini series is a mystery to me. I truly enjoyed it from the beginning till the end. Especially the performance from John Jarratt playing the villain Mick Taylor. To me he's the absolute star of Wolf Creek. With his sadistic laughter and his crazy personality he's the guy you hope you'll never cross on a desert highway in the outback. The rest of the cast was also good with their respective performances. All the characters are fun to watch, so I really don't get why people aren't satisfied with the story. Because the story is everything you ask for when you watch a horror series like this one. The only critic I would have is that it is very unlikely to find people that don't want to be found in the outback. And most of the characters cross paths all the time. But then again if they wouldn't you would not have a decent story. The filming is excellent, especially with the great nature shots. I hope there will be another season.

Kept me on the edge of my seat! I got frightened, sad , and angry! I mean kill this dude already! I'm never going to Australia!
