Dying Breed (2008)


A horror movie in the much more conventional sense--but also set in Tasmania. This Australian wilderness fright does have an unconventional story; in that it intertwines a yarn about a supposed extinct animal, in this case the LONG extinct Tasmanian tiger, not actually being a gone a people might think, with another thread that involves the infamous "Pieman" cannibal Alexander Pearce who was hanged in 1824.  Aside from the strange intermingling of what would normally be two separate movies, this one follows the conventional action plot of stupid urban or suburban types irreverently bounding into the a wilderness that they not only don't know much about, but also do not respect.  Bad things are sure to happen!
