GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Paul Magne Haakonsen To quickly summarize this movie, you take "Wrong Turn" and put it together with "The Hills Have Eyes", and then you end up with "Dying Breed". Just change the scenery to the Tasmanian outdoors, and voilà, there you go. Although "Dying Breed" is nowhere near as interesting as either of the other movies."Dying Breed" is basically about a group of people stuck in the deep woods, and something is out there stalking them. The movie sort of builds up some fairly good moments, but they are always toppled by an anti-climatic result. Toss in a supposedly Tasmanian tiger in the equation, and hope it would work. But it didn't, at least not for me...And had the movie been based on something fresh, it might actually have been interesting, but the story and plot was handpicked right out of movies like "Wrong Turn", "The Hills Have Eyes" and such similar movies.Now as for the cast, well they were actually well cast and they did good jobs with their roles. I especially liked the acting of Leigh Whannell towards the end, when he was in the chair. That was really cool. Although what happened following that scene was so predictable, that you could smell it a mile away.There was no frights in this movie, which was a total disappointment. There were moments when there could have been some suspense, but the movie failed to deliver on that part. As for the psychological aspect of the movie, well that was brilliant. Being trapped in the woods, scared, something stalking you, and weird hillbillies nearby, well that actually did work out well enough for the movie. Although, it has all be used before."Dying Breed" was somewhat of a disappointing experience. I had expected more from this, as it is a part of the "After Dark Horrorfest" movies. But now I've seen it, and will chalk it up as a Tasmanian remake of "Wrong Turn" and "The Hills Have Eyes", nothing more... I don't recommend this movie to be a top priority to watch if you are into horror movies or psychologically freaky movies, this is slow-moving and takes forever to get nothing told. There are far better and far scarier movies out there in the woods...
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.
HumanoidOfFlesh "Dying Breed" begins as four Aussie friends head to Tasmania in search of the elusive Tasmanian Devil,a tiger thought to be extinct.Nina had lost her sister to this quest eight years back and is anxious to get there and begin their search.The area of rugged isle has long been known for its history of butchery and cannibalism.The hunt for a tiger quickly becomes a nightmare of survival.A deformed killer is hiding deep in the woods and longs for human flesh...Admittedly "Dying Breed" starts off rather slow.The characters are interesting and well-developed and there are some truly gruesome scenes of cannibalism and butchery.The film is obviously influenced by "Deliverance" and Canadian survival classic "Rituals".It kept me on the edge of my seat.8 out of 10.
shadowsingray 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...
