I think even calling Wolf Creek average is more generous than it deserves. What I hate most as well as the poor characters including one of the most cartoonish and pantomine bad guys I've seen in recent times (I kept expecting him to become Dame Edna Everage and say "hello possums" to the terrorised teens)-it is also incredibly dull, has every cliche in the horror cannon and makes slashers in the 70s and 80s look like intricate art-house but with a pulse and not limpid like this poor excuse for a film. I think Man Bites Dog, Calvaire and Frontier(s) took the whole "adbucted, terrorised and escape" as far as it could go it was foolish to try and replicate these genuine gems with whimsical farce.
