Review of Wolf Creek

The fact less than half of this film is horror sorta adds up. Sure when it gets to the guy actually trying to kill someone you actually understand how brutal and sadistic serial killers can be. I know that build up IS required for a movie but too much can ruin it completely. We have an hour of explanation and various other things (and for no reason everything stops working, thats left hanging) but an hour to get to the point? That's a little harsh on the viewer who's wondering how gory it WILL be. When it gets to the point though, the torture is done really well (and I'm glad to say is kinda discreet on some levels) The sadistic tendency is very well acted. The casting in this really made up for the long winded and over clichéd plot. Afterall you have backpackers lost+serial killer in loadsa movies. But overall this was a decent movie.
