An extinct species, the Tasmanian tiger. A long-forgotten legend, “The Pieman” aka Alexander Pearce, who was hanged for cannibalism in 1824.

paul8878 Dying Breed is a waste. It is very very little about Tasmanian Tigers and more of a redo of some other horror movies. Nothing new or different. Same old blood soaked chopping and slashing and women chasing. Tired story line. Young people lost in woods find weirdos who eat people. Seen it before many times. BORING.How to make a better movie. Drop the dumb dialogue, drop the dumb story line, get people who can act, they are called actors, less splash and more suspense, go back to telling an engaging story, and stop trying to be shocking. In fact, a good and well written movie would be shocking. Dying Breed sure was not anything worth seeing. The best part of dying breed were the few moments of the old (1930s) film clips of the Tasmaian Tiger
kosmasp While the movie doesn't win a prize for most original idea, it still has some nice touches to it. As another reviewer described it too, it's pretty decent. In other words, it's better if you copy a good idea, than come up with something that just doesn't work ... Of course this will only work if you like Horror movies and don't have a problem with gross scenes.The acting is pretty good for a horror movie, the plot moves along good enough and although there aren't many surprises left for you to see, it's still a nice movie. Nice shots (cinematography) and nicely edited too. There's one thing for sure though: Horror as a genre ain't a dying breed ...
JoeB131 This film has all the typical clichés of a horror film. Bunch of city folk deign to go into the rural area. In this case, a woman is picking up her dead sister's search for the Tasmanian Tiger.Well, of course, they run into the stereotypical group of inbred locals who proceed to hunt them down and kill them. There are few real surprises here, other than the bias of city dwellers against rural folks. (Incidently, having spent extended periods of time both rural and urban, I've been more afraid in urban locations, but that's just me.) No surprises and a lot of tedium. Not really worth your time.
doctorgonzo23 While I'm not sure that I'd watch Dying Breed again, I have to admit that I enjoyed it through the first time.There are some great landscape shots in this movie and, overall, I felt the atmosphere was creepy, lending itself well to the dark tone of the picture. There was some suspense and a bit of gore as well. However, there was nothing really new or interesting in the plot. Similar movies have covered the same material before (Wrong Turn, perhaps to a lesser extent even The Chainsaw Massacre movies...) and although there's a link to an actual historical figure, it's a pretty weak link and there's no new twists to make this unique.The characters are all pretty unlovable, so there's not much to relate to in that department.The production values are high, so I have to recommend this over some of the other After Dark Horror Fest films I've seen. I feel it's a solid five; flawed but very watchable.
