Dying Breed

Lately, i managed to watch a show called "Dying Breed". saw it sitting on a shelf in blockbuster rentals, and the cover has "B-GRADE" written all over it, but being desperate for some passive entertainment i thought id pick it up and see what its all about. The back of the cover said that it was produced by the same people who did "Wrong Turn", so i kinda understood what kinda movie its gonna be like, but it also said it was done by the dudes from SAW, not just ANY SAW, SAW 1!!!! that got me all excited, but after reading into it abit more, the only bit of SAW 1 im gonna see in that movie is the main actor. forgot his name.

anyway, just before putting it back on the shelf, at the corner of my eye i spotted the word "Tasmania". "No shit" i said to myself, it was shot in Tasmania, ABOUT Tasmania and Tasmanians, well not really Tasmanians, but a small portion (really small) of the demographic.

Bam, its off to the counter, im watching this for sure.

Anyway, the movie is about Alexander Pearce, whom they call the "Pieman". He was a convict who escaped the prisons here during colonial times. he was later caught again, and hung, for running his ass out of prison, and also Cannibalism... juicy.

so the story develops around the myths of Alexander Pearce.

Being a gorrorfilm, yes there was lotsa blood. but other than that, the movie was kinda...how do you say it, to phrase it in a less exquisite way - "quite shit".

Slow introductions, with lots of jump-cut-ins of horrofic pictures, abit like Fight Club style cinematography, you get the drift. Sex scenes included to jazz it all up.

but really, what i got the show for was just to see Tasmania on the big screen lol, it was quite interesting, alas none of the places i was familiar with were featured.

all in all, okay lah. 2.5/5, not the worst ive seen, still stomachable.

p:s/ damn ssien the fact i cant comment on Ben's blog :( glad you enjoyed my company, its likewise for me, always good to see old friends in new times ;D
