For a full night, Jack and Emily engage in a twisted and thrilling courtship of the sexes that leads one to wonder which one of them will survive the night. At the end of the movie, Jack finally gets the upper hand on Emily and strangles her to death.

Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 33% based on reviews from 6 critics.[1]

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."
