Review of Dying Breed (2008) by Sidney C — 05 Feb 2010

This movie was great. It beats Wolf Creek by a landslide. This was awesome. The ending was a bit disappointing and it delivered parts of other horror movies. American ones. I noticed some Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Sweeney Todd, The Reaping and Friday the 13th all rolled into one.

So it's not really original, but its reference to a real convict criminal, murderer and cannibal made it seem more terrifying than The Blair Witch Project and Texas Chainsaw Massacre all in one. The gore made my stomach churn and the story was excellent.

It seems that Australia is trying to start off with Ozploitation again, but I doubt they'll make anything that original and well written and shoot it into theatres. Personally, I'm not a fan of gore, I more of a suspense guy. That's what made me hate Wolf Creek. But this movie was excellent. The movie really makes you feel like you're shut in and have nowhere to run, but it's much more than Friday the 13th. Tasmania is a much bigger place and that town had far fewer people. There's nowhere to run, everywhere to hide.

80%.
