Sir Khan schriebWas soll denn an dem Film speziell "genial" sein?
Na ja, "genial" ist vielleicht zu hoch gegriffen, aber zumindest äußerst gelungen".
Das gilt sowohl für "Mainstream"-Kritiker, zB Comingsoon:
Fans of subtler forms of suspense will appreciate the first half of McLean's debut, while those who just like gruesome splatter flicks should enjoy the ending just as much. The real trick is how McLean merges the two types of horror into a cohesive story with real characters, and it's what sets "Wolf Creek" apart from the pack.

...als auch für Genre-Stimmen a la Bloody Disgusting:
"I thought “Wolf Creek” was as unpredictable and as cliché-defying as they come. I’ve heard comparisons of this film to the original “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, “Open Water”, and “Blair Witch Project” and while all of these are notable comparisons, “Wolf Creek” definitely creates its own existence."

" This movie is a masterpiece; a dark and twisted piece of art based on true events that left me rattled and distraught in the end. An instant classic, Wolf Creek sits high up on a pedestal with other classic films of the same genre. "
