    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Unbeknown to the crew the abandoned mine where they chose to film had actually been the site of the real life murder of a woman. The filming prompted a protest from locals who erroneously thought the film was about those events.
    • Goofs
      (at around 32 mins) When they arrive at Wolf Creek, they park the car nose-in and facing the sign and the meteorite site. When they come back the car is in the same direction. However, when night falls the car does a 180 degree switch as they are facing the direction where they came from, as they watch the headlights of Mick's truck arrive.
    • Quotes
      • Mick Taylor: See? Head on a stick!
    • Crazy credits
      The producers would like to thank ... the people of Hawker, Port Augusta, Flinders Ranges and South Australia, ... Frank, Marie and the entire Mclean family
    • Alternate versions
      The film was released on DVD in the United Sates in both a rated and an unrated version, with the unrated version running roughly five minutes longer than the rated version. Two new scenes were added to the unrated version (although both of these scenes are contained on the rated DVD as deleted scenes):
      • a scene where Kristy (Kestie Morassi) wakes up next to Ben (Nathan Phillips) after the party,
      • a scene where Liz (Cassandra Magrath goes down into a well in Mick's yard and discovers decaying bodies.
