Dying Breed (2008)
4/10
Location and acting can't save a bad script.

Yes this movie has beautiful location. Some of the acting is quite good! I have come to expect after dark to give some good movies. Usually good stories, but well predictable endings most of the time, but 99% of the time the ride is worth the ending.

This one has a decent beginning, good acting. Then about 1/2 way through the whole premise... or what looked like a premise starts to fall apart and it's like they are just going off on a bad improve of another bad backwoods inbred movie where people took a wrong turn.... This time is was in Tasmania... Sigh..

Pieman yeah nice slant on an Aussie urban legend at first or so it seems, but once it was all said and done I felt as violated as the main "heroine" of the story at the end. *no pun intended*

Movie starts out to look something like the first Howling with an added I want to find my sister twist then ends up in inbred Redneckville. Parts are good, but I seriously almost gave this 1 star just because after even the parts that draw you in.... The bad ruined the good time and time again... I think the writer was on a tight deadline and ran out of good ideas or didn't know where he was really going with the whole Tasmanian tiger thing...

End rant... A movie I actually deleted after viewing. That should tell you everything. Watch it if you have patience and expect to be disappointed. Once you are starting to be disappointed, turn it off about 5 minutes before the end. You'd be glad you did...
