is this the one where the girls die and the dude gets out alive?
Yeah that was the first one!
thanks anon
going to rewatch tonight
The sequel has the gore turned up to 11 and makes Mick more of a character, but the first one is like Australian Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The second one handled Mick really well. They don't spell out exactly what his deal is but it's clear the director has a vision for the character and his backstory, they give you enough hints here and there to stimulate your imagination but it's vague enough for you to draw your own conclusions.
Movies were great, but the first season of the show was boring. Enjoyed the second season far more.
what sort of freak watches horror in the summer?
I end up watching horror all year round. Not exclusively, but… I have a dark passenger.
Was supposed to be more movies and seasons but he got me tooed
He was apparently cleared of the charges.
Also heard they are still making Wolf Creek 3.
I hope so. Love all his stuff. Think I'll re-watch them this Sunday
Well the third one is still coming out I think. And he’s fricking based. Same director as Rogue by the way.
Mick is so fricking likable despite everything.
Yeah I'd grab a fosters with him. Hunt with him too
As long as you don’t make Croc Dundee jokes and call British people gays I think he might let you go, mate.
There’s a weird depth to the Wolf Creek movies and tv show for me. It’s definitely more cerebral than the average slasher
>mick Taylor is basically the real life serial killer Ivan Milat
>vaguely supernatural events happen repeatedly. The car and watches all stopping at the same time in the first movie for example
>Mick is repeatedly implied to be not fully human. Instead some kind of demonic avatar of the outback
>Mick is talkative, surprisingly intelligent and knowledgeable under his folksy accent and persona
>mentions historical atrocities as he tortures and hunts people. The “head on a stick” scene is particularly fricked up. Referencing both the Vietcong doing it and also Ivan Milat did that IRL
The real life inspiration is what made me think TCM
The way Mick fades into the Outback at the end of the first one is another supernatural hint. The Outback personified.
Based.
For me it's pic related.
Qrd? I’ll have to see it
Two hitmen pickup a contract but it turns into weird cult shit, lots of action, symbolism. Very underrated movie.
I’m in
I liked it till the end I think? Was that the one with people wearing bull heads in the forest
Not really
Kill List creates a great atmosphere of mystery and dread. I watched it again recently and it doesn't have the same weight second time around, but that first viewing it's really impactful when you know absolutely nothing about it.
Near the end, there is a cult ceremony near a wood on the grounds of a large estate. The cultists are nude except for head-dress.
I'll re-watch it. Also the main guy is GTA V Michael
Mick really is one of the horror icons of the not well remembered 00s. Another one would be that guy from The Collector/Collection (I think it was called). Mick really should be in the same conversation as Mike Myers and shit especially after seeing how many people he’s killed in part 2. His body count is pretty fricking high and he is a likable villain.
That one was supposed to get a third movie as well
Also the way Mick basically let’s the guy go at the end of the first movie for no real reason. No way it was some frick up on his part
Maybe some kind of metaphors for how nature is random and arbitrary in who it kills
