The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

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.

I knew what sort of a film I was in for the moment I saw the CGI of the helicopter flying over what looks strangely looks like Canada, not Tasmania? LOW BUDGET B-GRADE?? My favorite!! My low budget suspicions were confirmed when I heard the first Australian accents.It was at the 7 minute mark when I heard the Aussie accent. Awesome!! The tourists are briefed on the "Tasmanian Devil" by Danica McKellar. (That's Winnie Cooper of The Wonder Years..) The Australian teenage tourist girl (Julia Sarah Stone) sounds like she just stepped off the 1986 Crocodile Dundee film set and watched a lot of Crocodile Hunter episodes. Only to be topped off with Ranger Danz entry and his Aussie accent, yikes!! That was funny.. Thank-you for the laughs.. This film is turning into a comedy. Excellent, no harm in that..If you are looking for a well made film with a crafted story of importance, you'll be disappointed. This is a low budget piece of B-Grade garbage. Most film makers would find that insulting, but these are the sort of films I love to watch. I was entertained for the evening, so Thank-you for your B-Grade film. Continuing on with my hunt for Low Budget B-Grade films..

My partner and I watched this film in horror as we being Australians we were wondering were the Australian actors were ? As in my life time I have never heard of such a pathetic excuse for an Aussie accent as portrayed by the actors ! Tasmania is a beautiful wilderness state but we sure as hell don't have that landscape in our country not even close !!Sci Fi what the !!!! this is a surely a comedy and ranger in Australia covers up their boobs or would fall out of the tree in winter without a jacket Im sure for such a big national park we there would be more staff than 3 on duty and as for Aboriginal drawings this is a disgrace to their culture !!!!!!!! As for a safety hut what no radio in sight !!!!! what a pathetic excuse to even have reference to Australia in the movie do your self a favor and NEVER watch this it will only do your head in Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi !!!
