The trailer for Dying Breed which will debut at the After Dark Horrorfest.
Tasmania, Australia, the worlds most isolated island.
Its rumoured deep within Tasmanias wilderness an ancient species known as the Tasmanian Tiger is alive and breeding.
Yet modern science refuses to believe such a creature now exists since no witnesses have ever been able to prove it.
That is until Zoology student, Nina 'Mirrah Foulkes', claims she can breach Tasmanias impenetrable forests and reveal the tigers existence to be true.
Driving Ninas quest is one critical piece of proof: a paw print taken by her sister just before she met with a fatal accident eight years before.
But what Nina doesnt know is how Tasmania became Australia and the worlds most dangerous island in 19th century when the murderous convict Alexander Pearce (aka The Pieman) broke out of prison only to eat his fellow escapees. Pearce was hung for cannibalism in 1824, but not before hed spawned a blood line who inherited his taste for human watch
The teaser trailer for Dying Breed which will debut at the After Dark Horrorfest.
Dying Breed interweaves the two most fascinating icons of Tasmanian history: the extinct Tasmanian tiger and "The Pieman" (aka Alexander Pearce) who was hanged for cannibalism in 1824. Against all odds, Pearce escaped from the most feared penal settlement of the British Empire - Sarah Island - and disappeared into the impenetrable forests of Western Tasmania. Seven convicts escaped with him, yet Pearce was the only one that emerged... along with chunks of human flesh in his pockets. The legend of Pearce was born. An extinct species... a long forgotten legend... both had a desperate need to survive; both could now have living descendants within the Tasmanian bush. Many sightings of the tiger have been reported. Many hikers have gone missing. Hundreds in fact. Zoologist Nina is convinced there are still tigers remaining in the Tasmanian wilderness, and she has proof - a photograph of a paw print snapped by watch
