The film in the original state is much more uncompromising and cohesive, I feel, and early US reviews seem to be reflecting this. The Horror Society<\/a> describes it as “a superior horror thriller that works on many levels”, while The Quiet Earth<\/a> says “if such a thing as an artistic horror movie exists, Wolf Creek 2<\/em> is it.” Joblo’s reviewer<\/a> even says it’s “the first time this year a horror film entertained me so much!” (of course, the year is young)<\/p>\n And we even get a theatrical release May 16, a rare feat for a little Aussie horror movie in the big US market.<\/p>\n But that’s not all. The Wolf Creek<\/em> prequel novels were released today in the US by Penguin Global.<\/p>\n Wolf Creek: Origin<\/em> is available here<\/a> at Amazon. For those who don’t know, Origin<\/em> follows a young Mick Taylor’s doomed struggle to overcome a brutal and traumatic childhood. Michael Helms in the latest Fangoria<\/em> calls it a novel of “frequently extreme proportions”, and says “your expectations will be flayed […] typical scene-for-scene novelizations can only pretend to the kind of creativity found here.” A cool summation indeed.<\/p>\n The second book in the series, Wolf Creek: Desolation Game<\/em> (written by Aus horror author Brett McBean and McLean), tracks Mick’s transformation from amateur murderer to trained killer during the hell of the Vietnam War–and his discovery of a little something called ‘head-on-a-stick’. It’s available here<\/a>. <\/p>\n For more posts: The Latest<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wolf Creek 2 releases on VOD in the United States today–and it’s the full, uncut version.
