Wolf Creek / Australia / 2005
Judging from the disparate responses Wolf Creek has received, horror is given a modest allowance to frighten but not offend—it is hailed as one of 2005’s best films by some, and one of the past year’s worst by one significant other. Such a disparity in critical response characterizes horror’s more notorious entries, enabling this film’s invitation to what I consider an ill-attended canon, which includes more renowned titles in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and I Spit on Your Grave. Wolf Creek earns this name-dropping, unlike the majority of horror films from the past two decades that insufficiently measure up to the 70s’ exemplary barometer of horror. Uncharacteristically brutal, humorless, and decidedly misogynist, it is – by and far – the most effective horror film I’ve seen in years.
