This German edition of the film is cut to ribbons. I put the UK disc in mine......
oh man i thought it was a great deal lol i have seen the regular amaray release and its always almost 20 bucks lol
By anybody's standards WOLF CREEK 1 & 2 are great horror thrillers - not torture porn like the HOSTEL films - but which still would've been classed as "video nasties" had they been released back in the early '80s and cut by minutes rather than seconds . . . today "passed uncut" by the BBFC.
Maybe all the more terrifying because both films don't seen so incredible in such a hostile and out-of-the-way setting.
Probably well known by fans that the films were inspired by real life events - namely, the case of Ivan Milat, the killer who stalked one of the remotest part of Australia back in the '90s . . . and just so the viewer is aware of the connection there's the hidden on-screen reference to Milat in the sign at Taylor’s disused mining camp reads "Navithalim Mining Co."
As for Milat himself:-
"Road worker Ivan Robert Marko Milat was, in July 1996, sentenced to life in prison for the prolonged torture murders of seven backpackers — killed between December 1992 and November 1993 — in the Belanglo State Forest in New South Wales’ southern highlands." (Paul Anderson, True Crime editor, Herald Sun February 18, 2014).
My favourite quote to describe these WOLF CREEK films is one nicked from the ex-BBFC chief censor - James Ferman - "the pornography of terror"- one of his comments on the 1974 classic THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (checquered history and finally passed uncut in 1999).

At JB Hi-Fi, ca. US$ 10 shipped, I believe. The Blu-ray is region B locked, though.
