Audio commentary by writer/director/producer Greg McLean, a fifty-minute documentary titled Creating a Monster: The Making of Wolf Creek 2 and nine deleted scenes. Reception Box office The film grossed over $1,510,578 at the box office, making it the number one film in its opening weekend. The movie's total collection in Australia stood at $4,732,168. Critical response Initial response at the Venice Film Festival was mostly positive. The Hollywood Reporter summarized the story thus: 'A psychopathic serial killer and his knife carve out an edge-of-seat gorefest that follows safely in the tracks of its predecessor.' Varietys review commented that the film was "neither as striking nor as fundamentally scary as its predecessor" but was "still quite a ride, and one that genre-inclined distribs should have no qualms about hitching." Likewise, Norman Gator of The Sydney Morning Herald gave the film four out of four stars, calling it "Perhaps the greatest Aussie flick ever made. I hope to hell there'll be a third one." The film has a rating of 50% on Rotten Tomatoes based on reviews from 52 critics, with an average rating of 5.6/10. The site's critical consensus states "After a strong start, Wolf Creek 2 devolves into an unnecessary – and disappointingly predictable – sequel." The film has a score of 44 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 13 critics indicating "Mixed or average reviews." Accolades TV series and Sequel In 2016, the Wolf Creek web television series debuted on Stan. The series saw Jarratt return to his role as Mick Taylor. A second series aired in 2017. As of April 2022, after a series of delays, some linked to the Covid pandemic, another film, Wolf Creek 3, was in the development phase, specifically, location scouting. It will be directed by Rachele Wiggins and written by Duncan Samarasinghe with Greg McLean as Producer. Altitude Film Distribution will distribute in the U.K. John Jarratt will reprise his role as the psychopathic Mick Taylor. "An American family takes a dream trip to the Australian outback and soon draws the attention of notorious serial killer Mick Taylor. A hellish nightmare ensues as the couple’s two children escape only to be hunted by Australia’s most infamous killer." Wolf Creek 3 is planned for release later in 2023, with the tagline There Will be Blood.
