Wow, Wolf Creek was a lot of fun! Campers get stranded, and a kindly redneck turns out to be a torture killer! The high def cinematography really captured the austerity and desolation of the Australian outback. It starts off a bit slowly, but after it gets going, it is actually quite surprisingly gory throughout. The acting is pretty good, insofar as scared chicks running around getting chased by a crazy man have to act. The soundtrack is a full orchestral score, which I appreciate very much. I think I’d definitely like to see more Australian pictures like this. I’ll let you know how the sequel is!

Metal Mike and I had recently finished a show in Vegas, and he had never gotten to see Eli Roth’s Goretorium before. If you don’t know, he’s the director of Hostel and Cabin Fever and such and made a sick haunted house right on the strip that runs 365 days a year. We got there at 11:30 am, shortly after we woke up from a night of madness and boozing, and found out that during the day, they don’t have actors in the tours. The very nice staff explained it was a ‘behind the scenes tour’, and we were prepared to be a bit disappointed.

We waited for the next tour, and it was just us. A small, older gentleman, with a thick Slavic accent greeted us. he took us though the house by the side entrance and began to give us a background of the fictional history of the place. It turns out, it was a totally fictional behind the scenes, and he was doing it in character! Well ,this was awesome. The guy had a great sense of humor and played it as straight as he could. We had a blast and he still worked some frights into almost every room. I think I actually enjoyed it more than the night time tour, as we got to take our time and enjoy it. Check them out!
