- 70The Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungThe Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungThis film is straight out of the bottle with no metaphoric or psychological pretensions.
- 67HitfixDrew McWeenyHitfixDrew McWeenyIf 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.
- 63Slant MagazineChuck BowenSlant MagazineChuck BowenThere are cheap shocks in the film, but there are also terrifying moments that poetically command our empathy.
- 50The DissolveScott TobiasThe DissolveScott TobiasWolf 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.

- 30Village VoicePete Vonder HaarVillage VoicePete Vonder HaarWolf Creek 2 merely offers more of the same casual brutality. The only shocking (and depressing) part is how inured to it moviegoers have become.
