Lured by the promise of an Australian holiday, backpackers Rutger, Katarina and Paul visit the notorious Wolf Creek Crater. Their dream Outback adventure soon becomes a horrific reality when they encounter the site's most infamous local, the last man any traveller to the region ever wants to meet—Mick Taylor. As the backpackers flee, Mick pursues them on an epic white knuckled rampage across hostile wasteland.
Ultimately the sequel's raisons d'etre seem to be emulating superior movies, from "Deliverance" to "Joy Ride" to "Saw."

As well made as it is, it would be great to see what McLean could do if he were free from genre conventions and could put his many talents to use in a movie not built around beheadings and dismemberments.

"Wolf Creek 2" is gory, disturbing, inventive, twisted and rather well made.
