good back-story, and good acting

Fresh and Exciting

Did you people see the same film I saw?

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Between 1788 and 1868, Australia served as a penal colony for the British Empire and Tasmania was the most feared. The prisoner Alexander "The Pieman" Pearce escaped and survived in the woods eating human flesh. In the present days, the researcher Nina (Mirrah Foulkes) organizes an expedition to Tasmania to proceed the work of her deceased sister Ruth and find evidences of the extinct Tasmanian tiger in the wilderness. She travels to a remote area with her boyfriend Matt (Leigh Whannell) and his troublemaker friend Jack (Nathan Phillips) that brings his girlfriend Rebecca (Melanie Vallejo) and they spend the night in a village of descendants of "The Pieman". Sooner the quartet discovers that things have to stay hidden to survive."Dying Breed" is another sub product of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and gives the sensation of déjà vu to the viewer with the total lack of originality. There are many flaws in the predictable story, like for example, how could an expedition travel unarmed in a remote area in the wilderness? What would they expect while observing the wildlife? How can a group travel without a Plan B for unexpected situations? The greatest different in this feature is the wonderful location in Australia. Further, the acting is good and for fans of the slash genre, it entertains. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available

Yes this movie has beautiful location. Some of the acting is quite good! I have come to expect after dark to give some good movies. Usually good stories, but well predictable endings most of the time, but 99% of the time the ride is worth the ending. This one has a decent beginning, good acting. Then about 1/2 way through the whole premise... or what looked like a premise starts to fall apart and it's like they are just going off on a bad improve of another bad backwoods inbred movie where people took a wrong turn.... This time is was in Tasmania... Sigh..Pieman yeah nice slant on an Aussie urban legend at first or so it seems, but once it was all said and done I felt as violated as the main "heroine" of the story at the end. *no pun intended*Movie starts out to look something like the first Howling with an added I want to find my sister twist then ends up in inbred Redneckville. Parts are good, but I seriously almost gave this 1 star just because after even the parts that draw you in.... The bad ruined the good time and time again... I think the writer was on a tight deadline and ran out of good ideas or didn't know where he was really going with the whole Tasmanian tiger thing...End rant... A movie I actually deleted after viewing. That should tell you everything. Watch it if you have patience and expect to be disappointed. Once you are starting to be disappointed, turn it off about 5 minutes before the end. You'd be glad you did...

Inbred and hungry cannibals... Out of their element young folks... Yeah, it's safe to say we've all seen it a dozen times before and "Dying Breed" is more of the same.Director Jody Dwyer brings this familiar story to Tasmania with most of the same repercussions. However, the cinematography is stunning and the acting is well above most in the genre. Cliché? Absolutely... You pretty much know exactly what is about to(and does) happen through-out the film. The gore is admirable, yet the individual performances by the all-Aussie cast is the movie's saving grace.Certainly worth a viewing, if for nothing more then the great acting and the wonderful scenery.

I say 3, Dr K says 4. This was a stinker, we live in Tasmania and our relatives are far more bloody and disgusting than this tourist promo film. It starts poorly and continues in this vein. Although some early scenes are good the rest suffered from poor colour, story and direction. The ending was obviously tacked on to either extend or bring the rating up to some sort of "horror" level.The change from 18th century Tasmania to a shots of a 2007 bridge with all it's safety features just grated. Also, us Tasmanians are rather particular, the open scene in the Pub is obviously in Melbourne Victoria, and the end scene with the police wearing Vic police caps stood out like dog balls.If you want a silly movie you'll love this. When we saw it the audience of Tasmanians were sniggering. That Tas Tiger head was off the show, in reality they had small, very sleek heads, not some sort of Pit Bull head.
