Villain Overview

You see, in this world, there's people like me and there's people like you. And people like me eat people like you for breakfast and sh-t them out. You're nothing but foreign vermin, a stinking introduced species. And it's up to my kind to wipe your kind out. And that makes me the winner, which makes you...
~ Mick Taylor on how he sees himself hunting tourists and foreigners.
Now, your little mate's right, I am a pig shooter! Ya know what I do to pigs who won't stop squealin'? I make 'em stop!
~ Mick Taylor

Michael Gleydson "Mick" Taylor is the main antagonist of the Wolf Creek film series, as well as the 2016 mini-series of the same name. He is also the main protagonist of Wolf Creek: Origins and Wolf Creek: Desolation Games.

He is an extremely sadistic and bloodthirsty serial killer who enjoys kidnapping and murdering tourists from the Australian outback after deceptively gaining their trust. A ruthless and psychopathic madman to the core, Mick brutally tortures his victims as well as sexually assaulting and mutilating them.

He was portrayed by John Jarratt, who also played Franklin Rood in Shiver.

Description[]

John Jarratt claims that his performance as Taylor was so convincing he was unable to get work for two years following the release of the first film. Jarratt's performance has been highly praised and has since been thought of as one of the great horror heavies in film. Jarratt's evil laugh, which he claims took four months to get just right, gave costarring actress Cassandra Magrath nightmares.

The character's personality traits were modeled after Jarratt's father (though he stresses that the psychotic killer part was added) and the character is styled after the polar opposite of Crocodile Dundee.

Personality[]

Mick is a murderous, unpleasant, manipulative, opprobrious, deceitful, vicious, and clever man who seems nice, but ultimately is an extremely traitorous, dangerous, and uncaring individual who is sexually obsessed with torturing, raping, and murdering women particularly, although he will also kill the men they are with, usually leaving them to die. He is so depraved that he even chases and kills children.

He usually begins by stalking victims before rendering their car immobile and later arriving to offer help. He offers to tow them back to his camp. If they oblige, the victims are drugged and tortured. If they refuse, the victims are murdered on the spot. Mick will also toy with victims, like pretending to shoot them or freak them out with bizarre behavior before revealing his true colors.

A proud xenophobe, Mick spent time in Vietnam raping and killing local women. He is also hypocritical, as he often claims to his victims that they are not welcome in Australia, yet killed many Australians as shown in Wolf Creek: Origins.

An untrustworthy and treacherous man, he will display increasingly unstable traits such as a psychotic glare before drugging his victims. He may also be cannibalistic, but this has yet to be confirmed.

Little is known about the character to keep him more ominous; however, Jarratt created a detailed biography for the character to base his performance off. He has not released this information.

Trivia[]

  • Mick Taylor is based on Australian serial killer Ivan Milat, also known as "The Backpack Killer", who killed tourists in the outback during the 1980s and 1990s. In addition, his MO of following his victims and then pretending to help fix their cars is based on the 2001 murder of British tourist Peter Falconio, to the point that Wolf Creek's Australian release was delayed to prevent the killer's trial from being affected.
