Dying Breed is decent, for those who like shocks consisting of gore, blood and cruelty. The movie has plenty of it to offer closer to the end. But there is no happy ending. Similar to some other such movies made in Australia, notably Wolf Creek (2005), the movie consists of terrorizing the viewer through bare exposure to violence and hopelessness of the situation taking place. There is no sophisticated story with unforeseen twists. It's pretty clear right from the beginning who's the devil and everything leads straight to the expected slaughter.
The result is a straightforward, to not say primitive, but working gore horror. And while it stays true to the line of US movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, unlike them this and other similar movies from Australia carry a more heavy-weight, exposing to reality mood that hangs over the events and doesn't leave any promise for upturn. Dying Breed is not a movie for weak stomach.
