Dying Breed (After Dark Horrorfest III)

Love this movie

This is an Australian variation of the Deranged Hillbilly genre, with some evocative Tasmanian scenery thrown in, along with a little of the folklore surrounding the Tasmanian Tiger (Marsupial Wolf) which to all intents and purposes is extinct, although people still claim that it's out there. Just don't expect much of a wildlife lesson amidst the hackings and the hangings, etc., that you'd expect when a bunch of cocky city kids venture into the tangled outback searching for the elusive Tiger.

As morbid as the subject matter of this film is, as a hardcore horror fan I really enjoyed it. The acting is great, especially Leigh Whannell, who is never not believable.

I love travelogue horror movies, especially those filmed deep in the world's wildernesses: Welcome to the Jungle, Cannibals Ferox and Holocaust, and now Dying Breed, which takes a piece of badass folklore (the continued disappearance of people ever since, centuries ago, the cannibal Alexander "Pieman" Pearce escaped from prison on the remote island of Tasmania. For the most part, this follows the patterns of your classic slasher. In fact, having just watched Cabin in the Woods, I was amused at how much the first movie predicted the second one. All in all a very strong horror movie.Just one gripe: the image they're marketing the movie with, its Amazon icon...an eyeball in some sort of metal basin/martini glass? Nothing to do with the film. Nothing like it in the film. I watch a lot of movies on Amazon Instant Vid and its nice if they advertise themselves for what they are. Still, good film.

I thought eventually we as the audience would learn what "traditions" and "rules" are in place, but we never do. I suppose we could guess at a couple but, some of the hints at these "rules" and "traditions" don't make sense. I was very confused at what the whole point was. Cannibalism was greatly exaggerated throughout the entire movie and some of it was an "seriously?" moment. Example....you find out something life changing and act as if you were being told a story or that the weather is turning bad. That's the reaction? I was seriously disappointed at what could have been a decent enough movie. I love amateur movies and I even like a lot of low budget films and I try to be fair considering what the director and actors and actresses work with. The acting was meh but the entire plot was very ridiculous.

This was a very, very, very good movie. The details in this movie are so good!

It's such a good movie.

This movie was a welcomed surprise. This was definetely a horror flick. I would liken this to "Deliverance" on steroids. There was one very obnoxious character, however that this movie could've omitted. He was beyond over the top. Some viewers may have to have a strong stomach for some of the more gory scenes but it didn't bother me in the least. I'd say this is worth taking a chance on buying this one.

Not a main stream horror movie . But a must see for any buff.. based on a real family. But this is a region 2 movie. Not playable in Canada

Convinced the legendary Tasmanian tiger still exists, Irish student Mirrah Foulkes goes to a backwater township with Saw-man Leigh Whannell and a couple of other friends. Too late, they’ll find out they’re not visiting – they’re trespassing. Inbred locals in timewarp territory (the rustbucket town’s called Sarah but it might as well be named Neglect) is generally fertile ground for shudders and chills. And Dying Breed doesn’t disappoint. Besides setting the scene with impressive economy, it sketches credible characters in a way far beyond the likes of Cabin Fever and Storm Warning. By refusing to play down and dumb, Jody Dwyer’s modest thriller bears comparison with Greg McLean’s Wolf Creek and Rogue. At times, its grim depiction of a hostile alien environment is as unsettling as the classic Deliverance and Southern Comfort. But ultimately it has to bare its bloodied teeth – and then it is just a horror film, after all.

A young woman hears about sightings of an ancient tiger that may or may not exist and goes with some friends to find out more.They come to a little place full of strange folk including a little girl who likes to bite and chant a disturbing rhyme about the pieman,an escaped convict from years ago who is rumoured to have left a human-fleshing eating beatly brood behind to carry on his legacy.Whilst the group are out,one of them goes missing and becomes lunch for one of said brood,the rest go on looking for her and soon find themselves running for their lives and trying to escape all sorts of bloody madness.Okay,so it's nothing original,but it's done well and the little girl is quite disturbing,certainly near the end. I very much enjoyed this as much as i understand it would be too disturbing for some,what with murders and implications of rape and such,but as i say,it's very well done and didn't leave me disappointed. Oh,those that like gore shouldn't be disappointed,there's quite a bit of it amongst this great story.

Quality movie for a Quality price!
