This movie had some good points:Good gore, Reasonably entertaining idea, Mostly good acting, Good casting of known actors.That being said, the acting was pretty bad even from the actors who've done better acting. Namely Roger Cross' acting in this was overblown and terrible...Mike Dopud and Kenneth Mitchell were the standouts in this film. Terry Chen and Rekha Sharma were decent in the roles they were given.I've seen better acting from Danica McKellar in other movies, and she was mostly good in this but had some moments of badly delivered dialog. But, on the plus sign she spent the latter half of the movie in a white t-shirt.The one-off Aussie actors were terrible.All in all, if you like the actors in this movie and want to waste two hours you'll never get back on a Bad B-Movie then give this one ONE viewing ONLY. You'll regret if you revisit it a second time, probably.

As another Aussie, I didn't mind this all that much. I read a heap of complaints about the accents and that it wasn't filmed in Tazzie. True. Bad accents, not Tasmania, parks employees with sidearms. Who cares? That's like watching Sharknado and complaining that sharks don't fly, or Big Ass Spider and moaning about how spiders don't grow that big.Same for the whinges about the Devils not being actual Tazzie Devils. Duh. Of course they're not. They're special supernatural devils.It's a farcical horror movie. It's not meant to be factual. That said, it's not a brilliant one, but if you're looking for a fun farcical horror, this isn't too bad. If you want it to be about real Aussie parks and wildlife or high drama... Erm... Leave this be. If you had fun with Sharknado and Big Ass Spider! then maybe you might like this.

Some young(-ish) explorer types fall foul of vicious creatures in Tasmania and are forest rangers are on hand as additional monster bait.Lets put to one side the fact that, apart from the name (and pretending to be in Tasmania), this film has nothing to do with Australia's neighbouring island, nor the wildlife which one would expect to encounter on it. A cast of unknowns compete not to be chewed and generally mangled by some CGI critters. There are assorted gory physical effects, some of which are well done. There are CGI monsters which vary from very well done to execrable. The camera work is steady.But I don't think I would recommend this.

Checking on extreme cliff-divers illegally in the area, a group of park rangers must help them get to safety when they accidentally awaken a horde of vicious Tasmanian Devils who begin to run wild throughout the park killing them one-by-one.This here turned out to be one of the more enjoyable creature features the channel has produced and is filled with good stuff. Most notable is the gore, which is far more graphic and vicious than expected and really gets strewn about here resulting in a lot of great gags and deaths as well. This one also features a lot of fun action scenes that feature the group being assaulted by the herd of creatures as they swarm about the area taking them on in different conflagrations, usually resulting in a sense of fun when it gets going in letting the creatures get in on the fun in the rugged landscape and keeping the film enjoyable throughout with it's various set-ups. While it gets a little bogged down with a lame romance angle that pops up and a rather convoluted origin to the creatures that gets side-swiped instead of flesh-out being this one's only problems, the rest is a lot of fun and makes it worthwhile.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Language.
