Wolf Creek 2 (2013) #380

In my opinion, sequels should only be made if there is another story to tell involving characters or details from an original film. Unfortunately, half of the horror movies created don't share or follow that train of thought and "Wolf Creek 2" is such an example. It is merely the continuing adventures of the sadistic Australian Outback hermit Mick Taylor, finding helpless tourists to torture and kill. To give the director/writer Greg McLean credit, the character Mick does branch out and kill a few police officers and locals as well this time around. The movie begins nice and strong but quickly slides into a predictable sequence of cat-and-mouse situations. All of this does not mean that the movie isn't enjoyable but it does mean that it's not as outright scary or chilling as the original.
