Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

DigitalRevenantX7 A genetically-engineered sabretooth tiger, created to prove the viability of cloning human organs for medical research, gets freed when the truck carrying it crashes into a Californian park. The woman who created it & her boss decide to hire Thatcher, a hunter who has experience with big cats, to capture it, but tell him that he's hunting an African lion. Together they head off to track down & hopefully capture the tiger. But while they are tracking it, the sabretooth has some tracking of its own prey – a group of campers on a training course in the wilderness.James D. R. Hickox (who does a cameo in the film as a silent hillbilly playing cards) is a director who is the youngest son of Douglas Hickox, the director of the Vincent Price classic THEATRE OF BLOOD & the younger brother of Anthony Hickox of HELLRAISER III: HELL ON EARTH fame. James has followed his father & brother into the directing business & seems to specialise in B-grade monster flicks.Sabretooth is a most unusual JAWS knockoff. For one, it has a unique monster – a sabretooth tiger cloned for medical research. Sabretooth tigers (think Diego from the Ice Age films) lived & died out something like 10,000 years ago. They were known as exceptional killers & had teeth that were at least a foot long. I went into Sabretooth expecting a silly monster flick like the director's previous film, the monster crocodile film BLOOD SURF, which I have previewed recently. Well, it was silly at times but was a considerably better film than Blood Surf. James is improving his skill at this sort of thing.Sabretooth is not anything close to being a classic film but is an enjoyably silly & passable monster flick. The sabretooth is realised by close-up animatronic head & laughably mediocre CGI. The exercise is conducted in poker-face seriousness, which makes the antics on screen even more hilarious. Not just that, but the acting is good, with input from David Keith as the chisel-jawed hero of the piece & the legendary John Rhys-Davies, who has starred in classics like the Indiana Jones films & the Lord of the Rings trilogy, as well as numerous B-grade action & genre films like CYBORG COP to give an example. Speaking of Cyborg Cop, another of that film's actors makes an appearance in this one – Todd Jensen, who played one of the cyborgs in Cyborg Cop, does a cameo as a horny guy who gets ripped apart by the sabretooth through his front door. And it's quite hard to hate a film where a guy takes on the sabretooth in melee combat armed with a pair of knives. Hilariously silly monster hokum.

david-546 This movie is unbelievably bad. It is difficult to believe that they actually make stuff like this. At least if you are going to make this kind of movie make it believable.Full of clichés, bad lines, bad special effects, bad acting and the dumbest bunch of hikers one ever met. Unfortunately the trivia gives it away when it lets us know that these supposedly experienced hikers make more rookie mistakes then well - rookies. I have had Cubs look smarter in the woods then these bunch of amateurs ever thought of being.Geezus - Scare us. Make us feel genuinely frightened. Don't just Cheese us to death. If I had wanted pure Cheese I'd have watched Machete.

TheLittleSongbird Sabretooth was not a good or great movie, but considering SyFy's track record it was better than anticipated. Special effects aside, it is not bad visually, with some good scenery and well-shot scenes, the music does at least have a tempo and had some excitement and atmosphere and the acting while not award-worthy is better than average, John Rhys-Davies deserved a better character and dialogue but like all other conscientious actors he gives it his best. On the other hand, the special effects are really crude and fake-looking, while there is some wit the script is on the whole dull and cheesy, the story is formulaic with nothing especially exciting or suspenseful and the characters are underdeveloped stereotypes. All in all, better than I thought it'd be but still not a movie I recommend. 5/10 Bethany Cox

Sjoerd (Filmfan-NL) It's hard to decide which aspect of this movie is worst, effects, cast, dialogs, camera action, script, direction, they're all competing so hard! Especially worth mentioning is Vanessa Angel, who must have just left the botox studio before this flick was shot. We had a lot of fun guessing who'd die next and who we wanted to die soonest. Unfortunately the body-count stopped at about ten. Why this film was rated 16+ here in the Netherlands beats me, it wouldn't scare my four-year-old nephew and there was not even the accidental nipple showing. Films of this caliber always leave me wondering who on earth voluntarily invest in waste like this, one can't imagine the revenue ever breaking even with costs, even with as low a budget as this one must have had. Waste of time, watchable only with alcohol and a lot of friends. (2/10)
