Thylacine horror movie?!!

you should definitely watch Howling III from 1987, one in a series of (as far as I can tell) unrelated movies other than that all are about werewolves. This third one is about were-thylacines outside Sydney. It is howlingly bad (pun intended ;)). I assume it is intentionally bad but it is hard to tell. You need to watch it with friends though, because if you're by yourself its just embarrassing.

Will definitely have to check out "Howling 3". It looks like there is a subgenre of thylacine horror developing.

Are there any killer koala flicks out there? Hmmmmm....
 
Wouldn´t the Thylacoleo be much more frightening? :D Give it a scream-like call like a Tasmanian Devil and it's pretty much a pre-made movie monster.
 
From the clips and reviews that I have seen, this is not a "horror" in the true sense of the word, other than it being "horribly bad" (I too can do puns :)).

My understanding is that it is a psychological thriller and focuses on the tense relationship between the two main stars. I am not entirely sure that the thylacine makes much of an appearance at all!
 
Thylacine horror movie

Koala horror movie scenario: our hero finds a Koala in the bush, sits down and waits for it to do something. Dies of boredom.....
 
But for Thylacine fans probably worth seeing just for the archive footage on the big screen.
 
It seems like the Drop Bears have been featured in video games and comics, but not yet movies. Does anybody here have any movie production experience? Maybe we can start ZooChat Studios...
 
...and don't forget the rat-monkey of Sumatra in Peter Jackson's Braindead!
 
I watched The Hunter yesterday and while it is not an excellent film it is not too bad. It is not a horror film, but a fairly slow tense atmospheric story. Tasmania looks beautiful, but the locals are painted as a bit weird and sinister, not quite Deliverance but almost. That's not the only cliche, there is also shady global megacorp, shady local guide, nice greenies, etc etc. The logging controversy is touched upon but not really explored.

Despite knowing it was just a film, I did have a thrill of anticipation wondering if we were actually going to see a thylacine. And did we? Well you'll just have to watch it to find out.

I loved 'Braindead', but most people I know who saw it did not really enjoy it that much.

:p

A little off-topic I know, but American Werewolf in London features footage of London Zoo. The eponymous anti-hero wakes up, naked, with specimens of Canis lupus in an enclosure on the Lion Terraces which I think at that time was actually inhabited by Caracals.

This followed on from a sequence at Tottenham Court Road tube station that can still make me mildly dubious about late night travel on London Underground..:eek:

Isn't that the station where the "We Will Rock You" theatre is? In December, we exited the theatre through a back exit and ended up in a dark, deserted alley, in the pouring rain. I have no doubt that there were werewolves (or drunken/drugged up chavs) hiding behind the dumpsters!!
