Last of Us A group of freight forwarders travel to Tasmania to prove the existence of a rare species of Tasmanian wolf, but they did not know that they had wandered into the territory of the descendants of Alexander Pearce, a serial killer and cannibal.
Over the past couple of years, Australians have proven themselves to be quite successful horror films on the likes of “Wolf Pit 1-2”, “Tunnel”, “Tsunami 3D”, “House of Wax Figures” and “Favorite”, and in the future, as a fan of thrillers, I was waiting for the same unusual and memorable tapes. And so, in 2008, debutant Jodie Dwyer releases his painting “Endangered breed”, which, with a fairly small budget, has grown widely abroad and found its circle of fans.
The prologue of the tape tells us about a certain serial killer who escaped from a Tasmanian prison, gave birth to his kinship, which has a predilection for cannibalism, and then there is a fairly typical slasher about how the next immigrants from America went to the jungle, and stumbled upon a deadly disaster. The script of the tape is quite primitive and follows the usual trajectory, not trying to abound in various kinds of unexpected plot twists, and the bundle itself leaves a number of questions in connection with the presence of inconsistencies, but despite a small number of advantages, the film keeps the viewer in frenzied tension and interest due to the oppressive and gloomy atmosphere of suspense, which is very rare for this genre.
The authors were pleased with the meat component: although the murders are unoriginal and sometimes hidden behind the scenes, but made in a good taste manner, and the masters of FX-a tried to fame with extreme naturalism and juiciness.
The acting game is embedded in the framework of the genre, because the guys do not overplay and cope with roles above average, but their characters are not particularly memorable, and truly and fully I was able to appreciate the game only by the well-known Lee Wannell and the colorful uncle Billy Brown, who looked good in the role of a cold-blooded antagonist.
Nerisa Tyson-Chu chose enough dark and heavy soundtracks to emphasize the entire atmosphere of fear and horror, and a number of background inserts sound good against the background of wildlife.
The camera work of Jeffrey Hall deserves respect as he gives us a look at the story from the most interesting and delicious angles, and shooting large-scale landscapes of the jungle of Tasmania literally immerse the viewer in that unbridled cloud of events.
Bottom line: “The Endangered Breed” is quite an entertaining thriller, and despite its simplicity, the tape is very high-quality, interesting and tense, so I recommend this picture to fans of such horror films with a twist under the indie style and fans of cannibal theme.
