Monster movies have always been a guilty pleasure of mine. So even a low budget film about killer marsupials (opossums) sounded interesting.
I figured there would be one giant marsupial or swarms of killer marsupials but instead there's no monster. Let me be clear about this. The monster is NEVER shown! It does NOT appear on camera! The plot: American tourists illegally trespass on an Aboriginal reservation and awaken an demonic giant Tasmanian devil. Or so they claim! Remember we never actually see the monster! Park rangers intervene. Oddly, the park rangers are also Americans. Making it obvious that NONE of this was actually filmed in Australia! No matter what IMDb claims!!! The film also opens with a park ranger explaining how the Tasmanian devil has the most powerful bite in the world. This is obviously a pathetic attempt to make us fear and respect the awesome power of Australian opossums.
It reminded me of the opening of 'The Killer Shrews.' Trying to make us fear shrews and opossums just isn't going to happen! Later one of the park rangers remarks that Australia doesn't have any "man eating species." OF COURSE THEY DO!!! Crocodiles and great white sharks do kill and eat some tourists. Maybe that's why they're scary and opossums are not.
Don't even see this movie as a drinking game. There isn't any material that can even be laughed at.
Once again let me say, there are NO monsters or a monster in this movie!
