What happens

Wolf Creek 2 is a 2013 Australian horror film directed by Greg McLean, who co-wrote the script with Aaron Sterns. The film is a sequel to Wolf Creek (2005), and the second installment in the Wolf Creek franchise. It stars John Jarratt, reprising his role as Mick Taylor. It was released on 30 August 2013 at the Venice Film Festival, then released in Australia on 20 February 2014. The film follows a young German couple, and a British tourist, who fall victim to the kidnapping and torture of Mick Taylor, a deranged xenophobic killer, while travelling in the Australian outback. Similar to the 2005 film, the plot is based upon the real-life murders of backpackers by Ivan Milat in the 1990s and Bradley John Murdoch in 2001. The film received mixed reviews from critics, praising the performances of Jarratt and Corr, but criticism for the violence and gore. The film grossed over $4.7 million at the Australian box office. A third film is currently in development. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
