Chilling Australian survival horror., 25 October 2009
8/10
Author: HumanoidOfFlesh from Chyby, Poland

"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.
