Wolf Creek (2005)
Fun Ozploitation flick that is not without it's flaws, the movie drags quite a bit and is padded out too much.
The aim of this edit was to tighten up the pacing and to give it a more 90's feel (it does take place in 1999), the original music (and lack there of)
was kind of generic, so I 've added some extra music or replaced songs (not score pieces). And I've also removed the true crime bits that make no sense because none of this actually happened.

The main producers of the film are True Crime Channel AU and I believe it was a producer mandate
to add in those bits, this is all speculative but seems likely. Or maybe this film started off as a re-enactment of similar serial killer Ivan Milat and
they changed their minds mid-production.
Because I removed the true crime prologue and epilogue the film now has a completely different ending.

This edit also introduces the characters straight away and gets them on their road trip to Wolf Creek without the unneeded
party, buying junk cars, mailing postcards and morning after scenes.

Now people can enjoy Wolf Creek as the fast-paced tense gnarly 90's Oz slasher that was hiding in there.

...them new tracks take me back to my time in OZ in the 90's. . This film gives my wife nightmares ..she still harps on about it..i think she has deep trauma from this movie.

I'm so glad to hear that, that's exactly what I was trying to capture. It really bothered me having an Aussie 90's roadtrip with almost no music to represent the era.
About the wife though, sorry to hear that.

Even a friend of mine kept thinking the events and people were real and it really spooked him too, when I reiterated to him like 1000x the movie is like 2% accurate to the real crimes and nobody in the film exists. I mean, they even riff on Crocodile Dundee and Mad Max towards the end of the film.

I've always just seen Mick's as some demented cliche of what outsiders think of Australia, but I guess he really spooked some people.

Maniac did a similar edit which was downright unnerving. I can't wait to see yours. This is one of my favorite serial killer series. Very realistic.
