Wolf Creek

This is a more modern approach to a thriller and crosses into horror/slasher flick territory. The film is about a group of backpackers who go into the Australian outback. Their car breaks down and they are rescued by a local, who later turns out to be a psychopath. He ties them up and then the girls escape. They stumble into a room and see trophies – pictures and backpacks of other backpackers, the implication being that he had killed them all.

Using the audience to imagine is very effective. You don’t have to actually show dead bodies to know, or think you know, that someone has been murdered. We could use this, especially if we want to keep the certificate at 15 or below.
