Wolf Creek

I watched this last night and this is certainly not one for the feint-hearted.
 
Rather graphic and disturbing. It won’t help Australia’s tourism industry that’s for sure. Apart from the violence, some very strong performances and the backdrop is equally as frightening as it is beautiful.
 
Fright Factor *****
Performances ****
Story *****
 
More detailed review here.
 
I can see why people would have second thoughts about travelling to the outback. Interestingly enough the movie was based on the Ivan Milat (Back packer Killer) story which took place in NSW’s Belanglo State Forest.
 
Aside from scaring the beejeezus out of me, Wolf Creek has also peaked my interest for the Ivan Milat story. I really didn’t pay much attention to it during the time of his trial. Anyways, the guy was a freak. Read more about this gruesome killer at the Crime Library and Wikipedia.

It’s that time of the year again where listeners of Electronic Dance Music (EDM), and mainly on the trancier side of the genre, get to vote for their top top 5 tunes (from a pre-determined list mind you) for the year.
