Abstract

The horror film Wolf Creek interweaves fact with fiction, and real with imaginary locations. In recounting a series of violent crimes, it provides a spectacle of cruelty, suspense and shock. It presents a vista of the Australian outback which is memorable, being very striking, but is also devoid of any humanistic meaning.
