The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Ogosmith
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Cristal
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

"Dying Breed" was pretty much everything that the promo and trailer suggested that it would be. Although it was predictable, as most horror movies of this type are these days, the actors did a decent job and the pacing of the film was such that it managed to keep me interested. The complaint that I have isn't specifically with this film, rather it's with the trend in horror movies over the past few years.Does every single person, in every single one of these movies have to die? How many times do we really need to see a man sit helplessly by while his wife, girlfriend, or daughter is raped, brutalized, or even cannibalized before his eyes? Do we really need it pounded into our brains over and over and over that darkness and evil reign supreme, and are utterly inescapable? I understand that people go to see horror movies for the novelty and fun of being frightened, but now, horror movies are unendingly bleak and utterly devoid of any hope for any of the protagonists in them. Who is there to root for when every character in the movie is doomed to die no matter what? I'm a horror movie geek, and I've been one since I was a little kid. Were I to pick a horror movie that I thought to be a success by most standards, I'd have to go with perhaps "Alien", or "Jaws". Both films were considered frightening in their day, both films featured plenty of guts and gore, and holy moley, a few folks even managed to survive their ordeals. I did enjoy "The Blair Witch Project" and other movies similar to it, but I'm finding myself bored by movies like "Dying Breed", rather then genuinely enjoying them.

Dying breed is again a movie in the tradition of Hills Have Eyes. So it has to be rather good to jump out of all those rip offs but luckily it did. It isn't a movie that makes you go jump in your settee, the problem is that it takes too long before it all really start happening (around 50 minutes). Once it all happens things are starting to get rough and the killings are not that gory but well done. I have seen the uncut version so I have seen it all. My only problem is the fact that most killings are done off camera. You see what is going to happen but the ripping of the flesh or cutting or whatsoever you will never see. But what it makes good is the fact that they use an ending that isn't positive. If you are used to watch bloody flicks than I should recommend it but if you are a gore buff than leave it, there are rougher things out to discover.

Between 1788 and 1868, Australia served as a penal colony for the British Empire and Tasmania was the most feared. The prisoner Alexander "The Pieman" Pearce escaped and survived in the woods eating human flesh. In the present days, the researcher Nina (Mirrah Foulkes) organizes an expedition to Tasmania to proceed the work of her deceased sister Ruth and find evidences of the extinct Tasmanian tiger in the wilderness. She travels to a remote area with her boyfriend Matt (Leigh Whannell) and his troublemaker friend Jack (Nathan Phillips) that brings his girlfriend Rebecca (Melanie Vallejo) and they spend the night in a village of descendants of "The Pieman". Sooner the quartet discovers that things have to stay hidden to survive."Dying Breed" is another sub product of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and gives the sensation of déjà vu to the viewer with the total lack of originality. There are many flaws in the predictable story, like for example, how could an expedition travel unarmed in a remote area in the wilderness? What would they expect while observing the wildlife? How can a group travel without a Plan B for unexpected situations? The greatest different in this feature is the wonderful location in Australia. Further, the acting is good and for fans of the slash genre, it entertains. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available

"Dying Breed" is a largely derivative and predictable Aussie horror flick that nevertheless benefices from a handful of marvelous elements, like a fascinating historical plot outline (albeit not at all accurate), breathtaking filming locations & scenery and a few unyielding shock sequences. The pivot character in "Dying Breed", even though he only briefly appears during the opening sequence, is Alexander Pearce a.k.a. "The Pieman". He was a cannibalistic murderer of Irish descent who got exiled to Tasmania to pay for the crimes he committed. Back in the early eighteen hundreds, when the whole of Australia was still a British prison colony and Tasmania an island where the heaviest cases were shipped off to, Alexander "Pieman" Pearce was the only convict how managed to escape and flee into the impenetrable Tasmanian forests. Obviously this plot outline isn't entirely accurate, as the real Pieman was in fact the nickname of a completely different prisoner and the real Alexander Pearce died at the gallows in 1824, but hey, it's a horror movie so everything goes. After the introduction of Pearce and the Tasmanian region, the plot resumes in present day Tasmania with the arrival of four twenty-something adventurers. Nina is a zoologist and wishes to continue the research of her sister who died here eight years ago whilst looking for last remaining species of the Tasmanian Tiger. She and her friends quickly discover that her sister didn't just drown, but fell victim to the bewildered and horribly inbred descendants of Alexander Pearce. They have only one goal in their miserable existence and that is to keep the bloodline alive. At the festival where I watched this movie, "Dying Breed" was exaggeratedly promoted like an Aussie interpretation of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Hills Have Eyes". Perhaps this is a fairly apt comparison, but stating something like that inevitably raises high expectations that "Dying Breed" can't possible fill in. Director Jody Dwyer does a reasonably good job, but he/she (?) yet doesn't succeed in generating an atmosphere of despair and sheer terror. It also takes slightly too long before the suspense and nastiness truly breaks loose. The first half of the film is overly stuffed with typical inbred jokes and stereotypical tourist behavior. There are a handful of downright disgusting sequences, notably a gruesome bear trap death sequence and a few close ups of pick-axes-in-the-head moments, which will undoubtedly appeal to the bloodhounds among us. The nature and wildlife images are dreamy to stare at and the acting performances are surprisingly above average. One of the lead actors is Leigh Whannell who, along with James Wan, created the original concept of "Saw".
