Two German backpackers travelling across Australia venture off the tourist trail to a remote crater, unaware they have stumbled into the hunting ground of a serial killer.

Wolf Creek is a 2005 independent Australian horror film written, co-produced and directed by Greg McLean, and starring John Jarratt. The story revolves around three backpackers who find themselves held captive and subsequently hunted by a serial killer in the Australian outback. The film was ambiguously marketed as being "based on true events"; the plot bore elements similar to the real-life crimes of Ivan Milat and the 2001 murder of Peter Falconio. After the success of the first film, McLean announced John Jarratt to reprise his role of Mick Taylor. Filming took place in late 2012 and early 2013 in Australia, and the movie had its world premiere on 30 August 2013.
