Pluskylang Great Film overall

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

TheLittleSongbird I was expecting little from Attack of the Sabretooth, and got very little. Even with its major problems somehow it is not SyFy's worst or among them. The only real redeeming quality is Robert Carradine, who has been better but at least tries his best with bad lines and a clichéd character. The rest of the acting is awful, especially from the teenagers, ranging from bland to ridiculously over-the-top. In all honesty though they are not helped by the terribly stilted writing which does nothing to develop the characters or make us care about their situation, and how stereotypically and annoyingly their characters are written, at the end of the day you don't give a toss about these people. The story is also a mess, predictable, dully paced and also derivative of Jurassic Park but without the excitement and thrills. And visually Attack of the Sabretooth looks very cheap, with choppy editing and effects so bad and fake that you can't help but laugh. There is a lot of gore, but excessive and cheap-looking at that, part of the reason why the death scenes seemed so poorly done as well the lack of any real sense of terror or suspense. Overall, a really bad movie but despite its many problems I've seen worse. 2/10 Bethany Cox

Paul Andrews Attack of the Sabretooth is set on a remote Fijian island named Valalola where the greedy owner Niles (Nicholas Bell) has invited lots of rich investors to his island resort in the hope of making them part with large sums of cash for a stake in his revolutionary Primal Animal Park attraction. Niles has developed a way to clone animals from DNA & in a moment of inspiration decided to clone some killer Sabretooth tigers which he intends to be the star attractions of Primal Animal Park & have people flocking there from the world over. Unfortunately inept security guards & resort employees means all the gates to the Sabretooth enclosure have been opened & thanks to some annoying American teens on holiday the entire security system is down after they decide to steal some things but don't want to be caught on camera. That all means the killer flesh eating Sabretooth tigers are free to roam the island & eat anyone they come across including Niles & his rich guest's...This Australian & American co-production was directed by George Miller (no, not that Goerge Miller who made the Mad Max & Babe films, the other George Miller who made the Dog befriends Dolphin 'comedy' Zeus and Roxanne (1997) with Steve Guttenberg no less) & is your typical terrible Sci-Fi Channel Creature Feature Jurassic Park (1992) rip-off that is maybe a little gorier than expected but no less stupid or dumb. Where do I start? Well, the beginning of Attack of the Sabretooth features a security guard reading a porn magazine, a page from which blows into the Sabretooth enclosure so he open the gate & wanders in to get it back but just ends up getting killed by the Sabretooth which serves the fat git right. I mean would you venture into an area full of killer Sabretooth tigers for a page from a porn magazine? The dumbness doesn't stop there either, from the character's to the not so special effects Attack of the Sabretooth works best as an unintentional comedy rather than a tense horror thriller. The character's are all uniformly dumb, the teens are just annoying while the guards deserve to die. To be fair to it the pace is decent enough & the kills were quite gory but that's hardly any recommendation for sitting through the rest of sloppy, badly made Creature Feature.Apparently intended to be some sort of sequel to the Sci-Fi Channel's earlier Sabretooth (2002) the two were written by the same guy & to save costs effects shots & GCI was reused from Sabretooth which says it all really. There's some alright gore here, a guy has his arm ripped off & he's seen staggering around spurting blood everywhere, there are plenty of bitten off severed limbs & decapitated head as well as one of the most ridiculous death scenes for a villain ever when a huge CGI Sabretooth tooth falls & impales Niles through the mouth in a scene that is so badly put together with awful effects & choppy editing it becomes strangely funny. There's no tension to any of the attacks or scares, a Sabretooth will just appear without any sort of warning & then disappear just as suddenly in some very lazy kill scenes. The CGI computer effects are predictably bad, they are truly awful at times in fact.I IMDb says this had a budget of about $2,800,000 but I really don't believe that, it looks a lot lower budgeted than that. Filmed in Lautoka in Fiji & while some of the aerial shots are alright the makers waste the scenery.Attack of the Sabretooth is basically Jurassic Park with the possible tourist attraction on a remote island made up of extinct creatures brought back to life through genetic scene that eventually cause all sorts of havoc & mayhem but isn't anywhere near as good. Standard Sci-Fi Channel Creature Feature junk.

Scarecrow-88 Three giant sabretooth tigers(..created in a laboratory from mitochondrial DNA, a "genetic breakthrough" derived from fossil material)are on the rampage accidentally set free through a series of events(such as a computer geek's introduced virus in order to unlock security measures keeping the resort novelty shops closed during construction & a security guard's leaving a gate open while searching for the missing page from a porn mag that flew away in the breeze)that threaten the lives of those it comes in contact with. The tigers are always hungry, but are unable to digest what they eat. So pretty much the tigers just rip their prey to shreds. Victims include a group of college kids(..the stereotypes include a goth girl, jock and tech nerd), security personnel, and those somewhat developed rich scoundrels who we can easily despise and wish horrible death.Rounding out a series of bad sci-fi channel flicks, Attack of the Sabretooth has some of the most wretched computer simulated animals I've seen yet. And, the final death sequence is so putridly presented, you'll demand within the deepest recesses of your soul the time spent on this truly awful exercise in the creature feature canon. There's some good dark humor deriving from heads being torn from necks, but even here the prosthetic work is unconvincing. Prosthetic body parts and blood aplenty as victims are pounced upon, crying for help and receiving none. I'm starting to sound like a broken record, repeating myself in every user comment I write for these sci-fi channel flicks. I think maybe it's time to move on to other kinds of cinema. Robert Carradine has a role as a ruthless businessman who is being wooed by his truly repellent ex-brother-in-law, Nicholas Bell, the one opening "Primal Park", a resort / zoo featuring genetically created sabretooth tigers as it's major attraction. Stacy Haiduk, still quite yummy, is a security officer who attempts to convince Bell to get the investors he hopes to goad into putting money in his multi-million dollar project to leave the island. Brian Wimmer is Haiduck's lover and his role is a mechanic keeping operations running smoothly.Bell's fate at the end, resulting from a dislodged tooth from a sabretooth tiger statue is the pits. Carradine spends a great deal of the film taunting Bell, his arch nemesis. The tiger's point-of-view shows humans in a bright color as it moves towards them. The film ultimately consists of characters walking through darkened corridors(..the tech nerd's virus cut off the power)worried for their safety. The college kids commit breaking and entering to score certain items needed(..it's a scavenger hunt type of activity)to enter a fraternity / sorority. The cast playing these kids do not rise above their clichés.

nativio289 Everything about this film is hog wash. Pitiful acting, awful dialog, ugly native girls. this movie sinks into oblivion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The director must have been a weekend bender. Robert C. is totally lost and has not got a clue on what is going on . The college kids are worst. No acting talent at all, very stupid reasoning, and just down right dumbbells. Special effects are for the birds. The so called security force around this park belongs in toy land: with stupid looking guns, walkie talkies that are useless; and a computer system that ranks with a roll of toilet paper. if the park is under construction and nothing works; why bother inviting potential clients until everything is complete. the writers should be the first victims of the mess along with the producers and the crew. The whole film belongs in a septic tank shot to another planet for viewing. What a gem. Convicts should have to watch this, so they can commit suicide.
