Dying Breed (2008)

They did it again. Smug, self righteous "filmmakers" insulting those that refuse to play yes-man to urban elitists.

Although this isn't as disgusting as that garbage known as The Mist or the equally despicable From Within (also a Horrorfest III, Crapfest) it's still just as boring with loads of "been there, done that", deja vu moments.

It starts off annoying me with a distorted picture, prompting me to turn off the DVD and switch the player from 16x9 to letterbox so that the image would look normal on my widescreen TV. After the first scene it reverts back to normal, forcing me to turn it off again and switch it back. Did the cinematographer lose his anamorphic lens in the woods of Tasmania and have to shoot the rest in standard 1:85 aspect ratio?

After that, nothing good or interesting happens for the next fifty or so minutes. The rest is trite, wasting a good premise and photography all the way.

It is time to scrap the Horrorfest! After the first eight fairly entertaining set, they degenerated into absolute garbage. Dying Breed, From Within, and Butterfly Effect III: the sequel no one asked for, are all perfect examples. Shape up or ship out, dummies!
