Review of Dying Breed (2008) by Katley M — 29 Jul 2009

So much potential. This film could have been great; it was just executed all wrong. The plot is based around 4 friends who travel to the Tasmanian Wilderness to find a supposedly extinct tiger. Only the town folk don't seem too happy to have them there.

So now they are forced to fight for there lives or meet the "Pieman". That's right I said the Pieman. Ok so like I said this film was just bubbling over with potential. I liked the plot and was hoping that it would not take the same rout that so many hillbilly cannibal movies had taken before.

But to my disappointment it did no such thing falling into the category typical hillbilly cannibal horror film. Acting, you get really good actors in this one I had no complaints. Now the characters were a different story.

I don't think I liked one character in this movie. Gore, I really thought this was going to give me a lot more raw gory violence than it did. You get a leg and head caught in a bear trap, some dead animals, some limbs, a gory body, an axe through the back, and some teeth being pulled, that's it, definitely disappointing.

One thing that I did like was the atmosphere it was creepy and intense. Soundtrack, was there one? If so I didn't notice it. Bottom Line, this is one of the shortest reviews I have ever written, letting you know just how little there really was to this movie.

Dying Breed had so many chances to do something new and original but failed at all of them. Filled with plot holes, and pointless dialogue Dying Breed proved to be nothing but a disappointment. If you are in the mood for a typical redneck hillbilly horror film then check this out.

But if you want something new skip this.
