Movie Review - Dying Breed

Last night I watched the preimer of an aussie horror film "Dying Breed"

Synopsis:

Tasmania, Australia, the world's most isolated island.

It's rumoured deep within Tasmania's wilderness an ancient species known as the Tasmanian Tiger is alive and breeding. Yet modern science refuses to believe such a creature now exists since no witnesses have ever been able to prove it. That is until Zoology student, Nina, claims she can breach Tasmania's impenetrable forests and reveal the tiger's existence to be true. Driving Nina's quest is one critical piece of proof: a paw print taken by her sister just before she met with a fatal accident eight years before.

But what Nina doesn't know is how Tasmania became Australia and the world's most dangerous island in 19th century when the murderous convict Alexander Pearce (aka "The Pieman") broke out of prison only to eat his fellow escapees. Pearce was hung for cannibalism in 1824, but not before he'd spawned a blood line who inherited his taste for human flesh.

Soon Nina and her friends discover that in the wild whilst one species may have died out another has thrived - in the form of the Pieman's descendants.

When she sets out with her partner, Matt and his old mate Jack and his girlfriend Rebecca, their little expedition encounters the island’s reigning breed, but one who stands on two legs, not four.
The Pieman clan has survived and their need to feed and breed turns Nina, Matt, Jack and Rebecca into the next endangered species.

This movie had me jumping out of my seat from time to time, as well as having me on the edge of the seat as the main characters try to get away from a psychotic killers.

However a few downfalls of the movie was that the storyline made the film was weak, in the sense that the stoopidity of a character's action gave them their just deserves (who runs out into the bush at night by themselves - DUH!), some scenes werent that original and by the end of the film the movie was so blah - i couldnt remember the name of the movie when i got home.

If your a fan of 'The Hills Have Eyes', then this film is for you- as you have demented inbreeds trying to surive the world with creating more damned offspring. Escpecially if you like scenes that will make you cringe in your seat. (teeth getting pulled out with pliers)

For those who arent a fan then I recommend that you wait till it comes out at your video store.
Only if your really bored and you need to kill time

Overall i rate this film 2 out of 5
