The Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungMay 15, 2014
This film is straight out of the bottle with no metaphoric or psychological pretensions. Read full review

VarietyGuy LodgeMay 15, 2014
Neither as striking nor as fundamentally scary as its predecessor, this pumped-up, robustly crafted pic is still quite a ride. Read full review

HitfixDrew McWeenyApr 25, 2014
If you can't handle extremes in your horror, Wolf Creek 2 is not for you. It is definitely ugly in places, and it wallows in it a bit. Read full review

Slant MagazineChuck BowenMay 11, 2014
There are cheap shocks in the film, but there are also terrifying moments that poetically command our empathy. Read full review

The PlaylistChristopher SchobertMay 19, 2014
While the politics and film as a whole are not entirely successful, there is much to admire in “Wolf Creek 2,” not the least if which is director Greg McLean’s chutzpah. He is a visually adept filmmaker who makes fine use of the broad canvas that is the outback. Read full review

The A.V. ClubA.A. Dowd May 5, 2014
McLean puts the pedal to the metal from the start, forgoing suspense in favor of instant, gruesome gratification. Read full review

The DissolveScott TobiasApr 23, 2014
Wolf Creek 2 does all it can to paper over the fact that it shouldn’t exist, but the film severely diminishes the integrity of the first Wolf Creek by turning Mick into a cartoon icon, more Outback legend than man. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisMay 15, 2014
Even more inadvisable was the decision (whether made by Mr. McLean or his backers) to transform the mercurial psychopath Mick Taylor (a truly menacing John Jarratt) into a roguish cartoon. Read full review

Mostly, though, this Creek has run dry. Read full review

Alas, Wolf tries too hard to shock to be effective. Read full review

Village VoicePete Vonder HaarMay 13, 2014
Wolf Creek 2 merely offers more of the same casual brutality. The only shocking (and depressing) part is how inured to it moviegoers have become. Read full review

Wolf Creek 2 isn't much different than "Wolf Creek," but it is markedly worse. Read full review

Everything we can gather seems to nullify any virtues we saw in the original film. Read full review
