    Meant to be released today in the US
    Not sure.
    The first one will be hard to top though.

    The first film was one of those movies I wished I hadn't seen, a bit like the remake of "Last House On The Left". I think the violence was too realistic and not in an entertaining way. That said, I'd probably still watch a sequel!

    Watched it last night and the gore level surpassed any of the Saw movies!

    The novel is supposed to be far superior to the film. Not sure that I'd ever want to read a book about Wolf Creek but reviews for it are good so maybe some night if it pops up on the kindle store I'll give it a go.

    For the inevitable Wolf Creek 3 I'd like
    a team of cops who believe the survivor on a manhunt for Mick Taylor.

    I love the original Wolf Creek so was surprised when I read there was a sequel. I watched in on Saturday night. Was not expecting much to be honest but I was very surprised at how good it was. I thought the bit with
    The Aussie history questions was very very tense

    Didnt think much of it .
    The first hour was like a spoof of the first film with the main character going completely over the top ,he was almost a caricature of the character in the first film.
    No tension or suspense ,unlike the first film ,I was half expecting Freddy Kruger of Jason out of Friday the 13th to show up .

    Last half hour was much more tense .
    Acting was poor too,the Australian playing the young English guy was very poor,his attempt at an English accent was woeful.

    Flagrant discussion, promoting, boasting/bragging of watching illegally downloaded films is against charter. If you see a post doing so please report it. Thanks.

    Watched it tonight.

    Meh. As a previous poster said, it was almost a spoof and "Mick" was a complete caricature figure, larger than life, making cheesy jokes and chock full of one liners.

    No tension at all but it was saved from complete disaster by some nice effects work.

    No where near the level of the first movie but thats not surprising.

    Keep the expectations low and its passable fare but I cant see myself re-watching it any time soon, if ever, and thats coming from someone thats seen the first one at least 4 or 5 times.

    For a superior Aussie horror movie check out Daddys Little Girl instead.

    I wasn't expecting much from this at all given that it was a sequel job 8 years after the first one but I actually thought that it was pretty decent. Some good invention with the scenes alluded to in the above posts. Probably helps that you've seen the first one so you know what level of violence to expect. Having seen the first one the violence didn't hit as hard. Worth a watch imo

    It is not a patch on the original, which balanced suspense and terror quite well. This was more a by numbers affair with little to differentiate it from other gore movies that have done the rounds over the past few years. That said, it did have its moments. The last half hour was quite good and if you leave expectations (and brain) at the door, then there are worse ways to spend 105 minutes!
