...production of Hamlet, and Baz Luhrmann's staging of A Midsummer Night's Dream), Mclean here applies the finesse of fine art to the pulpiest of fiction. Wolf Creek is impeccably structured (apart from one or two creaky plot points later in the piece), and the director extracts pitch-perfect performances from his young leads, with a marvelously malicious turn from Jarratt, whose Mick Taylor is Grand Guignol with an Akubra hat. As for the charge of exploitation - well, directors have been turning true crime into artful entertainment ever since Alfred Hitchcock dredged up the story of Ed Gein from...

...open it up, and it allowed them more breaks.” Harvard skaters began intercepting the Big Green’s forced passes, and as time ticked away, the Crimson was able to force Dartmouth into foot races—perfect for the Harvard squad that boasts speed over size and hustle over hulk. The Crimson scored twice more for the 6-2 win, opening up for a 13-shot third period after totaling nine in the first two frames combined. Meanwhile, Daigneau’s 20 saves earned him his first win in nearly two years...
