Over the weekend we debuted the first poster for Greg Mclean’s vicious sequel WOLF CREEK 2. It’s the long-awaited follow-up to the original and unsettling Australian slasher which Mclean unleashed onto the world in 2005. We also promised to bring you the first trailer today and now we’re about to do just that!
John Jaratt’s sadistic serial-killer Mick Taylor is back on the rampage in the shocker coming from Roadshow Films and we’re hearing some superb reviews suggesting Mclean may well have topped his brutal first flick!
Lured by the promise of an Australian holiday, backpackers Rutger, Katarina, and Paul visit the notorious Wolf Creek Crater. Their dream Outback adventure soon becomes a horrific reality when they encounter the site’s most infamous local, the last man any traveler to the region ever wants to meet; Mick Taylor (John Jarratt). As the backpackers flee, Mick pursues them on an epic white knuckled rampage across hostile wasteland. Only one will remain to be dragged back to his lair to witness the true magnitude of his monstrosity. And if the last man standing is to have any hope of surviving where no one else has survived before, he’ll have to use every ounce of cunning to outwit the man behind the monster and become every bit as ruthless as the monster inside the man.
WOLF CREEK 2 co-stars Ryan Corr, Shannon Ashlyn, Chloé Boreham, Sarah Roberts and Philipe Klaus. It’s set for Australian cinemas 20th February 2014. No details on US or UK dates.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
