Wolf Creek (2005)

"Wolf Creek" is an unrelenting, realistic horror film about three taking a cross country trip around Australia who meet up with a sadistic hermit. The film draws inspiration from previous grind house style movies and delivers a similar dark and brooding atmosphere. The violence in the film is realistic and simple which is why it comes across as begin so effective. The realistic intensity is reinforced by the claim that the film is inspired by real events.

Ben, an Australian, is taking his two British friends, Liz and Kirsty, on a trip across the Great Northern Highway in Australia. Along the way they stop at Wolf Creek, the location where a massive meteor had crashed into the earth. When the three return to their car they find that it won't and that they are stuck there until someone comes along. Eventually a "local" hermit named Mick shows up and offers to tow their car back to his camp where he can repair the car. Seeing that they don't have many options, they agree but soon find that they are being driven farther and farther away and that they are completely lost after a few hours. Once at the camp, the four enjoy dinner and some water that happens to be drugged; the three friends pass out and are left to the whims of the mad man they just met. The movie then focuses on Liz and Kirsty suffering the twisted abuse and trying to escape from Mick's secluded camp.
