What Wolf Creek offers is a competently made horror excursion with an unfortunate reliance upon cliches balanced off by some legitimate shocks.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

It's a depressing exercise in just mutilation and torture.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger

Wolf Creek is wicked and witless -- cruel for the sake of cruelty.
