Off to a whimper
We're sorry to report that the first theater-going experience of the new year was a bit of a letdown. Wolf Creek, the film that has inexplicably been garnering quite positive reviews from geeks while being panned in the mainstream press, has the dubious distinction of being one of those rare horror films where the clueless big fishes got it right, and the fans wrong. The film fails in the only thing required of horror films: being scary for even a minute. It's grisly, brutal, and realistic. BO-RING! Snuff films masquerading as horror is so five minutes ago dot com.
