Tasmanian Devils Audience Reviews

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Wuchak RELEASED TO TV in early 2013 and directed by Zach Lipovsky, "Tasmanian Devils" chronicles events on the Australian island when a group of American base-jumpers inadvertently spawn several amped-up Tasmanian devils from folklore. The Americans team-up with three rangers to (try to) survive.The low scores are inexplicable (with a 3.6/10 average on IMDb) in light of the fact that this is a competent monsters-in-the woods survival/horror/adventure flick. Sure, the diverse cast is no-name, except for Danica McKellar (best known, of course, for her role as Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years), and the CGI creatures are decidedly cartoony, but "Tasmanian Devils" otherwise delivers the goods as a suspenseful, gory creatures-on-the-loose TV picture with breathtaking forest locations. Danica is super-cute, as usual, but she'd be sexier if she gained at least 15 lbs. Australians complain about the accents, but the Australians in the movie sounded Australian to these ears. Another nitpicker complained about the Gerry-rigged flame thrower. Seriously? THE MOVIE RUNS 86 minutes and was shot in British Columbia. WRITER: Brook Durham. ADDITIONAL CAST: Kenneth Mitchell & Mike Dopud emerge as the most prominent base jumpers. Winter Olympian gold-medalist Apolo Ohno has a small role. GRADE: B
cloeso9 What does this say about our educational system....or better yet, McKellar? Geez, in the first 10 minutes, a monstrous thing rips the door off her vehicle and takes away her coworker. She tells her cuffed passengers to stay in the vehicle while she and another runs after the thing so she can "kill it." In the next few frames, she tells the guy to "RUN!" Duh.Maybe before graduating college McKellar should have given her future some thought. Then she wouldn't have ended up in the Siffy hall of Shame, making horrible junk like this.The bad accents that come and go: the tight outfits that certainly help McKellar to run from the killer Devils (and show where her brains ended up: the sad CGI: unbelievably bad scriptwriting: really bad acting from all involved....Now, you have a Siffy movie!
chow913 Monster movies have always been a guilty pleasure of mine. So even a low budget film about killer marsupials (opossums) sounded interesting.I figured there would be one giant marsupial or swarms of killer marsupials but instead there's no monster. Let me be clear about this. The monster is NEVER shown! It does NOT appear on camera! The plot: American tourists illegally trespass on an Aboriginal reservation and awaken an demonic giant Tasmanian devil. Or so they claim! Remember we never actually see the monster! Park rangers intervene. Oddly, the park rangers are also Americans. Making it obvious that NONE of this was actually filmed in Australia! No matter what IMDb claims!!! The film also opens with a park ranger explaining how the Tasmanian devil has the most powerful bite in the world. This is obviously a pathetic attempt to make us fear and respect the awesome power of Australian opossums.It reminded me of the opening of 'The Killer Shrews.' Trying to make us fear shrews and opossums just isn't going to happen! Later one of the park rangers remarks that Australia doesn't have any "man eating species." OF COURSE THEY DO!!! Crocodiles and great white sharks do kill and eat some tourists. Maybe that's why they're scary and opossums are not.Don't even see this movie as a drinking game. There isn't any material that can even be laughed at.Once again let me say, there are NO monsters or a monster in this movie!
Theo Robertson Three forest rangers in Tasmania stumble across a group of base jumpers who are in the park illegally . They frantically tell the rangers that one of their team has been killed in a cave by something and that something is still in the cave . What ever killed their colleague is hostile and it's not alone If I'd seen TASMANIAN DEVILS a few weeks ago I would have dismissed it as yet more brainless clichéd fodder from the SyFy Channel but I still had a sense of disappointment from a recent trip to the cinema where I watched WORLD WAR Z which cost me £7.80 to watch and Paramount Studios $200 million to produce . I'm guessing in terms of production TD cost closer to the rice of my cinema ticket than WWZ . One very common and vocal criticism of the Pitt epic was the conspicuous lack of blood and gore , along with a lack of suspense . It says something that despite all the money thrown at it TD is slightly more effective as a suspense driven horror movie TD beats out the brain dead undead epic spectacle of WORLD WAR Z Don't get me wrong I'm not for a second claiming TD is some sort of lost underlooked gem just waiting to be discovered by a wider audience because it's not . It's merely a low budget horror movie featuring sketchily drawn characters played by a journeyman cast hiding out in dark remote woodland and stalked by hostile viscous creatures . The clichés come thick and fast but what the film does it does relatively well . It also contains a bit more blood and guts you'd expect in this type of TVM and an early death with a character impaled is genuinely shocking . Perhaps if the production team of WWZ studied this film - which coincidentally features monsters attracted to sound - in depth their own film might have been better received by critics
