Poster Release: ‘Wolf Creek 2’ Featuring a Very Familiar Style

A new sales poster for Gregg McLean’s Wolf Creek 2 has been released today and the similarities between this and the Evil Dead poster are beyond coincidental. What I don’t know is if this is an intentional riff on Evil Dead or if it’s simply a cheap knock-off.

The first Wolf Creek was a fantastic piece of Australian horror so I’m hopeful that the sequel will be as well-made and unique as the first, however I’m not holding my breath.  Hit the jump for the poster and synopsis, there’s no set release date just yet.

While seeking an authentic Australian adventure, one unlucky backpacker learns the deepest, darkest secrets of the Outback’s most infamous serial killer. Lured by the promise of an Australian holiday, backpackers Rutger, Katarina, and Paul visit the notorious Wolf Creek Crater. Their dream Outback adventure soon becomes a horrific reality when they encounter the site’s most infamous local, the last man any traveler to the region ever wants to meet; Mick Taylor (John Jarratt). As the backpackers flee, Mick pursues them on an epic white knuckled rampage across hostile wasteland. Only one will remain to be dragged back to his lair to witness the true magnitude of his monstrosity. And if the last man standing is to have any hope of surviving where no one else has survived before, he’ll have to use every ounce of cunning to outwit the man behind the monster and become every bit as ruthless as the monster inside the man.
