Wolf Creek was marketed as being "based on true events" in the same way that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was. Despite this claim, the movie is fictitious; the film's director and writer has stated that Wolf Creek is not based on any single event.[1] The producers have not disclosed which incidents (if any) inspired the film.
Some media sources, including the back of the North American DVD release, have speculated that it may have been based on the backpacker murders of 1989-92, or (not on the DVD case) the Peter Falconio disappearance of 2001, and/or the 1992-99 Snowtown murders. The similarities of the film with the Falconio case led the defence team of the man charged (later convicted) with his murder, Bradley John Murdoch, to obtain a court order preventing Wolf Creek's release in the Northern Territory during the trial. (The film was released there in January 2006.) There have been comparisons made between Taylor and real-life serial killer Ivan Milat, who also preyed upon backpackers in regional New South Wales.
Wolf Creek is set in a real location; however the actual meteorite crater location is called "Wolfe Creek", and is located in northern Western Australia. It is believed to be the second largest meteorite crater in the world. The movie was almost entirely filmed in South Australia, so most of the shots in the movie at "Wolf Creek" are not located at the real "Wolfe Creek

Nope. "Wolf Creek replaced into marketed as being "in accordance with authentic activities" interior of a similar way that The Texas Chainsaw bloodbath replaced into. regardless of this declare, the action picture is fictitious; the movie's director and author has suggested that Wolf Creek isn't in accordance with any unmarried journey or activities. Wolf Creek is determined in a authentic region; notwithstanding the certainly meteorite crater region is called "Wolfe Creek", and is positioned in northern Western Australia. it is idea to be the 2d greatest meteorite crater in the international. The action picture replaced into very nearly completely filmed in South Australia, so truly some the images in the action picture at "Wolf Creek" are literally not positioned on the authentic "Wolfe Creek". The aerial images of the crater in the action picture theater the authentic Wolfe Creek crater."

It was based on a true crime but has not closed yet. There are a few things in the movie that are different from the original (proposed) scenario so the criminal-on-trial's family and others would not cause too much fuss (sue)
