Wolf Creek
Real nice Aussie flick with a raw TCM sort of a feel to it. The acting was fine but the thicker Australian accents can be tough to understand without the subtitles on. The violence looked raw and real some of the shit that happens is downright brutal! It's supposedly based on a true story but we all know how much that means and being that it's Australian, I have no idea what the real story is. Anyways, this "true story" followed a fairly straightforward horror plot (Teens stranded in middle of nowhere & terrorized) but had a couple nice touches of their own as well. All in all, I thought the gore was great, the acting and direction were also good and the overall scare value of this film is higher than most in the genre in terms of keeping you on edge. (Like High Tension sorta in that respect...)
Anyways, all in all I really liked it. There's some crazy Aussies out there!
