What are critics saying?

Hitfix by Drew McWeeny
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.
63
Slant Magazine by Chuck Bowen
There are cheap shocks in the film, but there are also terrifying moments that poetically command our empathy.
58
The A.V. Club by A.A. Dowd
McLean puts the pedal to the metal from the start, forgoing suspense in favor of instant, gruesome gratification.
50
The Dissolve by Scott Tobias
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.
40
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
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.

Time Out by Keith Uhlich
Mostly, though, this Creek has run dry.
38
USA Today by Scott Bowles
Alas, Wolf tries too hard to shock to be effective.
30
Village Voice by Pete Vonder Haar
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.

Los Angeles Times by Martin Tsai
Everything we can gather seems to nullify any virtues we saw in the original film.
