A Masterpiece!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

From a ridiculous plot to outrageously bad 'acting' this trash should be burned and buried. A few tips to follow, but aside from a terrible beginning that just spirals downward there is nothing redeemable in this mess. As for the so-called "Legend" - rubbish. Do some reading on real Tasmanian myths and legends - there are plenty of stories, and some truly frightening ones. Tip 1: Hire Australian actors. Nothing worse than Americans trying to do Aussie and failing hugely. At least they die fairly quickly.Tip 2: Research. Australian Park Officers don't carry handguns nor zip-tie anyone for any reason. It's illegal.Tip 3: Tasmanian Devils. So small they're rarely bigger than a small domestic cat, and just as dangerous (i.e. not at all). C'mon cobbers, get real.

A group of adventurers land their helicopter in the mountains of Australia. They are going to parachute off really big, high cliffs. Unfortunately, the first one to jump doesn't pull his chute on time and suffers a terrible fall. Incredibly, he survives the fall - which doesn't seem physically possible, considering the extent of his puncture wound. Things get worse for Olympic champion Apolo Ohno (appropriately named Stone) because his sky-dive releases the titular "Tasmanian Devils". Naturally, the animated monsters want to kill everyone in camera sight.The movie's greatest visual is park ranger Danica McKellar (as Alex). She is presented in a tight uniform that accentuates her prominent front...One interesting little moment in Brook Durham's script occurs when Ms. McKellar notes her character has a man's name ("Alex") while leading man Kenneth Mitchell plays the male character "Jayne" - spelled just like a girl. This starts out like it might be an interesting relationship, but it's really ordinary. The couple does get good interesting support from Mike Dopud (as Anderson) and a trio of food suppliers for the Tasmanian devils. The creatures are not very scary or believable, but the effects team makes up for it with some well-stage gore scenes.**** Tasmanian Devils (1/19/13) Zach Lipovsky ~ Danica McKellar, Kenneth Mitchell, Mike Dopud, Terry Chen

This has got to be one of the singularly worst movies ever made - non-Tasmanian mountains, non Tasmanian trees, non Australian helicopter registration, bad accents, in the first few minutes, someone is waving around a wad of US Currency, to "bribe" their way in - double whammy - Tasmanian PArk Rangers would never take bribes, and US dollars are next to useless in Tasmania. At the end, they climb into an observation tower - they don't exist in Tasmania. all accommodations are at ground level. There appear to be electric lights in said building, but they don't work, except when the structure is falling, they are throwing sparks. As for firearms - if a ranger was armed it would be with a rifle, never with a sidearm.ANd, of course, Tasmanian devils do exist, but they aren't like the ones in the cartoons - they are the size of a small dog - about 8kg maximum.THe writer/director shouldn't give up their day jobs, if this is the best that they can do. THy would have been better doing a Bigfoot near Vancouver story...

This movie was a disaster. No, scratch that. A disaster would be horrifying to behold. This was an effin' sleeping pill, combined with those moments where you facepalmed due to the sheer stupidity and predictableness of the characters and devils alike. Due to my respect for all Tasmanian Devils out there, I tried to sit through to the end, but when the "main" couple was all that remained, that was it. I didn't even have the stamina to sit through in the hopes that another Devil would surface and devour them.Some spoiler-ish stupidity: 1) You don't have time to help your wounded friend up a ladder since the devils are coming, but you do have time to bicker about it. 2) When said friend pitifully crawls towards the tower later, remember the conversation, and let him fend for himself, cheer him on if you like. 3) Conclude that there are six Devils, and you've killed two. Kill four more, and you'll be saved. 4) If a younger ranger gets jumped by a Devil in the night, they'll forget about him until next morning, when they hear him scream, stuck in a tree. 5) When using the radio, make sure to shout. Unless you have really bad timing, your girlfriend will not be surrounded by Devils with sensitive ears. 6) Always kill off the best characters.Conclusion: The cover of the DVD says this is the best horror movie about Tasmanian Devils ever. My question, is there any other horror movies about Tasmanian Devils somewhere? This is the first I've heard of. Says it all. Shut off your brain, and you might enjoy this movie.
