Directed by Zach Lipovsky. Written by Brook Durham. Starring Danica McKellar, Mike Dopud, Kenneth Mitchell, Rekha Sharma and Apolo Ohno (for about a minute).
Plot: a group of BASE jumpers enter forbidden territory in Australia and awaken a sleeping Tasmanian Devil.
When the group of BASE jumpers go into the forbidden area, one of them dies. It’s a television movie though so it’s not so terrible gory or anything, but his blood does awaken an ancient Tasmanian Devil who begins to come after them one by one.
This is pretty standard made-for-TV, horror movie fare. There’s a bunch of cliches, of course. She ends up with her hair down and in a tank top by the end of the film. Also, they always just assume there is one monster. Never a family. Like, why do they do that? You really do see everything coming before it happens. There are no surprises.
But there was a terrific motive. And it followed rules. It had a good cast and the plot was even okay, but the individual character stories seemed a little forced. It was pretty good for SyFy though.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
