“Some species are better off dead.”
Directed by Jody Dwyer
The premise
An extinct species, the Tasmanian tiger. A long-forgotten legend, “The Pieman” aka Alexander Pearce, who was hanged for cannibalism in 1824. Both had a desperate need to survive; both could have living descendants within the Tasmanian bush. Four hikers venture deep into isolated territory to find one of these legends, but which one will they come upon first?
Horror Vault's take
Deep in the unforgiving Tasmanian wilderness, four hikers set out on a search for evidence of the supposedly extinct thylacine — but the remote bush harbors far darker secrets than a lost animal. Local legend speaks of Alexander Pearce, a convicted cannibal hanged in 1824, and the isolated community they encounter suggests his bloodline may never have died out. What begins as a wildlife expedition quickly spirals into a desperate fight against a threat that is disturbingly, inescapably human. Australia's savage landscape becomes as much an enemy as the horrors that stalk the group from within the trees.
