Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 33% based on reviews from 6 critics.
Jim Schembri of 3AW gave a positive review, writing "Veteran John Jarratt co-directed this with Kaarin Fairfax, and while they let fly at each other with copious energy, their verbal conflagration could have benefitted from fewer swear words, more jokes and a tighter running time."
Erin Free of film magazine 'Filmink' called the film "a nifty little black comedy bubbling and bristling with surprises and invention."
John Noonan, also from 'Filmink', gave a negative review, writing "Whilst it doesn't stick its landing when the credits roll, 'Wolf Creek' fans are perhaps going to get a kick out of seeing Jarratt failing to get the upper hand for a change." Luke Buckmaster of Guardian called it "a marathon of smut, with nothing remotely funny or thrilling about it."
