Tasmanian Devils
Tasmanian Devil Synopsis: Danica McKellar (“The Wonder Years,” “The West Wing”) and Olympic speed skating champion Apolo Ohno take on a deadly mythical beast in the new Syfy Saturday Original Movie “Tasmanian Devil.”
Why it matters
A creature feature that leans into Aussie folklore with a Syfy-sized budget and campy charm, “Tasmanian Devil” delivers monster madness with a side of unexpected star power.
- Danica McKellar’s presence adds an unusual bit of gravitas and nostalgia to a Syfy creature romp.
- Practical creature effects mix with CGI in a way that’ll divide purists but keep the creature visible and active—which is half the battle in monster movies.
- For fans of regional monster myths and late-night creature features, it’s an enjoyable dip into Tasmanian terror territory.
- Not subtle, not high art, but if you enjoy your horror with a bit of goofy enthusiasm and a dose of “what’s that thing?” curiosity, this one hits its marks.
