Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

trashgang Dying breed is again a movie in the tradition of Hills Have Eyes. So it has to be rather good to jump out of all those rip offs but luckily it did. It isn't a movie that makes you go jump in your settee, the problem is that it takes too long before it all really start happening (around 50 minutes). Once it all happens things are starting to get rough and the killings are not that gory but well done. I have seen the uncut version so I have seen it all. My only problem is the fact that most killings are done off camera. You see what is going to happen but the ripping of the flesh or cutting or whatsoever you will never see. But what it makes good is the fact that they use an ending that isn't positive. If you are used to watch bloody flicks than I should recommend it but if you are a gore buff than leave it, there are rougher things out to discover.

lastliberal Saw fans will see a familiar face here in a tale of what happens when you go traipsing in the woods. You all know about that if you've watched more than a couple of horror movies.In this one a couple of legends - the Tasmanian Tiger and a cannibalistic killer - are woven together.Nina (Mirrah Foulkes) goes looking for her sister, who was tracking the Tasmanian Tiger in the Tasmanian forest. Leigh Whannell from the Saw franchise is along as Matt.They run into the usual inbred threat. One (Melanie Vallejo) finds their kiss not to be pleasant. Of course, there is nothing else pleasant about these people, either.Too bad the film was so poorly lit. It would have been much better.

kosmasp While the movie doesn't win a prize for most original idea, it still has some nice touches to it. As another reviewer described it too, it's pretty decent. In other words, it's better if you copy a good idea, than come up with something that just doesn't work ... Of course this will only work if you like Horror movies and don't have a problem with gross scenes.The acting is pretty good for a horror movie, the plot moves along good enough and although there aren't many surprises left for you to see, it's still a nice movie. Nice shots (cinematography) and nicely edited too. There's one thing for sure though: Horror as a genre ain't a dying breed ...

Richardm777 Just saw Jody Dwyer's Dying Breed. What an excellent Australian Horror flick it is! It could well be one of my favourite Australian Films of the year.Four young cryptozoologists go to check out Western Tasmania in search of ye ol' Tasmanian Tiger. Little do they know they are stumbling upon the ancestors of Alexander Pearce, the famous Australian ex-convict, bush ranger and sometime cannibal known as the 'Pieman'. Suffice to say fine dining is loosed on the Pieman River as a group of Deliverance style in bred Tassie freaks hunt down our hapless Tiger hunters. Dying Breed is well cast with Leigh Whannell (Saw) giving us a great version of the metro-sexual out of his league in the wilds of Western Tasmania and Nathan Phillips (Wolf Creek) as a roustabout larrikin hunter. Whannel is an excellent leading man and should branch out from horror and do other serious work. The two girls Sally MacDonald and Melanie Vallejo are good too. Especially the later, when she is strung up and dismembered Cannibal Holocaust style out the back of the Pieman's shed. I'm sure Leigh Whannell must have been showing the director Cannibal Holocaust, as this scene certainly bears the imprint of that classic film and the Dying Breed scene is very well done in its brutality. The film has various very effective set pieces in a cave, at night in the bush, out the back of the killer's shed, on a bridge at dawn, etc. All shot effectively and scored very nicely. The ominous Tasmanian landscape evokes a darkness akin to what DH Lawrence said about the great primordial emptiness of the Australian bush. The film should travel well as the Aussie accents aren't too harsh, and one is a Irish accent. The family of inbred freaks are memorable and varied in their motivations and actions.Dying Breed is a great edgy genre piece that is one of the first to appear in the new wave of horror cannibal films, so its ahead of the game world wide, also. I would have to rate it right up there with Rogue from last year and Acolytes, Horseman and Rats and Cats.Why did they not enter it in MUFF? It would have won some awards! Check out the posters. I like the stylish one, while the second one with a gory pie will entice the teen market.Stylish new Ozploitation is on display, that gives hope to the future of the Australian Film Industry!
