Forget coffee, lets breed baby!

It's no secret I'm a fan of horror movies and the latest Australia offering has got me peeing my panties with excitement. The fact it's yet another juicy Australian production may also have a lot to do with my excitement. Regardless, it's great to see Australian films being made that aren't about the outback or recovering drug addicts or coming of age. One of my favourite films is Wolf Creek and I was a fan of the Saw franchise (until they started producing a thousand bastardisations) and Dying Breed is from the creators of those. Dying Breed interweaves the two most fascinating icons of Tasmanian history: the extinct Tasmanian tiger and 'The Pieman' (aka Alexander Pearce) who was hanged for cannibalism in 1824. Basically four people searching for the Tasmanian Tiger in the wilderness stumble across the descendants of `Pieman'. Terror ensues. The film stars two of the biggest names in Australian horror- Leigh Whannell one of the stars and creators of Saw and Nathan Phillips from Wolf Creek. The trailer for this film is pretty darn freaky (to say the least) and hopefully its as successful as its predecessors. Decent horror movies are few and far between these days but in recent years Aussie horror films have struck a rare balance between being critical applauded and commercially successful overseas, a rare feat especially within said genre. Keep the quality Aussie horror coming!
