A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Hiking through the Australian outback, a pair of hitchhikers find themselves targeted by a psychotic serial killer which manages to ensnare another local into their encounter with the madman and begins a series of brutal back-and-forth games throughout the Outback.This was a decent if slightly flawed follow-up. Among the better qualities here is the fact that this one decidedly enhances a crucial aspect of the previous entry in that the action with the killer is incredibly fun. From the beginning where the extended hassling from the police and the final outcome of that encounter in the bushes to the series of fine vehicular torments he puts them through with the rather toying he'll pick them up only to leave or the series of utterly thrilling high-speed car chases through the Outback roads that give this a truly engaging feel with all the high quality action displayed. From there, this one manages to feature even more overt and brutal kills that bring this one into far more chilling territory here as the ruthlessness he exposes gives this one plenty of excessively graphic kills. The fact that this one goes for quite the fun time with the main killer here is quite enjoyable, managing to not only be utterly chilling in his portrayal of the killer but also to make for some fun while he goes through the torments and games he plays. Those come off not only as barbaric and cruel but also insanely fun due to the relaxed and carefree nature he has during these scenes which makes them far more fun than expected and adds a strong outcome to these scenes by making it enjoyable to be with him during these scenes that don't have any real horror to them. It adds to the likable qualities on display that hold it up nicely over the few minor issues that hold this one down somewhat. The film's biggest issue is the rather lengthy and extended time it takes to do something so the pacing to this one is a tad haphazard. The opening encounter with the policemen runs too long, the hitchhikers lost in the Outback is torture to get through and the whole affair has an air that really goes on too long and easily could've been trimmed somewhat. The other issue is the rather goofy-looking and silly CGI used for the kangaroo massacre on the freeway which looks so ridiculous and comical during supposedly a frightening scene that both the concept and momentum of the scene is lost due to the out-of-place effect compared to the more naturalistic efforts used elsewhere. These here are all that really hold it back.Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Extreme Graphic Language and violence-against-animals.

At the beginning, the two cops are driving off after giving Mick a ticket. I thought in two seconds: "Here comes a missile of a bullet from afar to the back of one of their heads, leaving the other to endure the car spinning out of control and off the road, leading him to be mangled, unable to move, but alive of course just so that Mick can come along to finish him off face to face as he helplessly begs Mick for his life." How he begs is telling him that he can make the charge against him go away. I thought, "Or he could just make YOU go away." Then Mick goes, "...Or...I can make YOU go away." As for unnecessary gore, I'm talking about chopping the guy's body all up into every little segment he possibly can once he kills the young couple. Gore, like this, for example, isn't scary. It's just gross. And also pointless, because we get it: he's dead; so move on.

One of the best horror films of recent years was the Australian "Wolf Creek". Its success has lead to this belated sequel, simply entitled "Wolf Creek 2", (and now a television series in production), which is even more effective and a lot nastier than the original. John Jarratt's Mick Taylor is still out there, slicing up backpackers; first a couple of young Germans run up against him and then Ryan Corr's gutsy Pommie falls foul of him in the middle of nowhere. This is a nerve-shredder of the first order, terrifically played by Jarratt and to a slightly lesser extent Corr and brilliantly directed, once again, by Greg McLean with a couple of nice nods in the direction of both "Duel" and "The Night of the Hunter". Terrifying and terrifyingly funny in almost equal measure.

Wolf Creek 2 is a high tension movie which is sadistically funny. The main character, John Jarratt, is yet again the undisputed star of the film. His conservative Australian figure is yet in a search for those hipster backpackers through the outback. His way of introducing himself in Aussie slang to his victims: 'Hi my name is Mick Taylor, pleasure to meet ya' is tensed up by bringing back his knife and using the 'head on a stick' method again. My favorite part of the movie was the Aussie history game played in his own workshop which eventually results in a chase down his basement to the grand finale. In my opinion this movie is even better than the first, while the tension runs better through the movie than the first one did. The only thing shy this movie has is the abrupt ending when his victim is dropped in a small town left to the local sheriffs. Nevertheless great movie, 7 out of 10 for horror is great.
