yes, i would agree. i had given up on the genre myself until i saw wolf
creek. a formidable film whose true horror lay in its realism, where
perhaps the spectator, as i did, believes that this is happening-this
could happen. i also loved the sublime horror of the natural scenes in
this film (similar in many ways to last years Open Water)where our
ecological environment seems indifferent(implicit?)to our problems and
dsires, where there is simply a feeling of isolation rather than one of
connection with the landscape. (the 'new scincerity' films of the 90s,
particularly Dances with Wolves, seemed intent on promoting a sense of
oneness with the world.
