The dead bodies of Wolf Creek 2 are so realistic that police were called to investigate "murders" at makeup effects artist Rick Connelly's home.

It was 3am when Rick, who runs Connelly Make-up FX Team with his wife Charmaine, arrived home from the Wolf Creek 2 set one morning. With him, were the dismembered body parts they created for one of the movie's victims, but he decided it was too late to haul them up to his unit.

"I thought I'd leave it until after I woke up," Connelly says.
