Wolf Creek: Special Edition by Noor Razzak (15th September 2023)
"Wolf Creek" released in 2005, the film follows a trend of early 2000's horror films that dealt with stranger danger, kidnapping, torture porn that saw films like the "Saw" franchise (2004-2023) and "Hostel" (2005) gain in popularity.

Mick has a gruesome desire to hunt people. Luring his prey with a wry smile and a laid back charm, once back to his remote campsite he carries out acts of unspeakable horror. Taking the stock standard story, writer/director Greg McLean manages to elevate the film with startling performances that keep viewers on the edge at all times.
