Dying Breed is a 2008 film written by Michael Boughen, directed by Jody Dwyer, and starring Nathan Phillips as Jack, Leigh Whannell as Matt, Mirrah Foulkes as Nina, and Bille Brown as Rowan. An expedition of zoologists goes into the bush in search of the last Tasmanian Tiger. Instead, they encounter the cannibalistic bogan descendants of 19th-century Serial Killer Alexander Pearce.See Van Diemen's Land for a more serious and historically-based take on the Alexander Pearce story. | |

Scary Teeth | |
| Dying Breed / int_3e2125f5 | comment |
Scary Teeth: Many of the cannibals have sharp, oversized teeth, most disturbingly Nina's niece. She keeps them hidden under a set of normal-looking dentures and only reveals them when she begins to eat Matt. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Dying Breed / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: When Nina's sister is trapped between the cannibals who want to recapture her and a sheer drop, she chooses to let herself fall. It's unclear whether she considered death a better alternative or just hoped she would survive the drop, but either way, she dies. Nina does the same thing when cornered on a bridge over a fast-moving river, but survives her fall. Which was probably for the worse. The ferryman's wife slits her own throat out of guilt. | |

The Savage South: The plot is very similar to contemporary American films about cannibal rednecks such as Wrong Turn, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), and The Hills Have Eyes (2006). | |

Cannibal Larder: Matt and Jack search Rowan's shack in the bush and find a surprisingly neat and clean kitchen where meat is in varying stages of preparation. It is only when they discover Rebecca's body hanging from a tree out back being bled do they realise exactly what they have found. | |
