Down Under



DYING BREED-2008-A zoologist and her three friends go to Tasmania to try and find proof of the long extinct Tasmanian tiger. It also has to do with the legend of Alexander Pierce, “The Pie Man”, who was hanged in 1824 for cannibalism. I've read that this isn't exactly true as the film combines the legend of two killers. Anyway, Nina (Mirrah Foulkes) the zoologist is also looking for her sister who disappeared years before while searching for the is extinct tiger. She and her friends (including SAW creator/actor Leigh Whannell) soon make a horrifying discovery: descendants of “the Pie Man” are alive and want to breed to keep the family line going! After this it's just the usual torture nonsense (SAW V was made the same year as this). Jody Dwyer directed this Australian production. Don't know much about him. 

Thanks for reading!
