I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Load of rubbish!!

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Gary Busey's recovery, after a serious accident, shows a little in his slow delivery, but is totally in character for a rural Appalachian sheriff faced with a wild animal loose on the Trail. I found it campy but very watchable. As a Busey fan, it is very satisfying. As a wildlife and locations fan, the husband and I thought it may have been filmed in North Carolina, as the setting is the Appalachian Trail that goes through the western part of the state. The swamps....in the mountains? I liked the supporting cast, relatively well-acted for a TV movie. All in all, there was enough gore and tongue-in-cheek reference to other wildlife- gone-awry films like "Jaws" and "The Ghost and the Darkness" to make this worth the two hours including endless SYFY channel commercials. I would rent it and watch so you can take a break when necessary.

**SPOILERS** Much along the lines of the 1975 blockbuster "Jaws" the made for TV movie "Maneater" has to do with an escaped 600 pound Bengal Tiger who turns the sleepy and almost crime free, it doesn't even have a county jail, Taruga County into its personal hunting and feeding grounds.After the tiger's first three kills both the county Sheriff Grady Barnes, Gary Busey, and it's very reluctant Mayor Earl Hunt, Blake Taylor, finally throw in the towel and let the "cat" out of the bag in asking the State Governor to sent in the National Guard to either capture or gun down the wild beast. As we all soon find out even the National Guard with its state of the art equipment and dead-eye sharpshooters are no match against the ferocious feline. For all its ferocity the killer cat seemed to have developed some kind of friendship with little 12 year-old Roy Satterly, Ty Wood, which the film never goes into or explains! This together with the films very confusing and almost mythical-like ending makes you wounder if the killer tiger has supernatural powers or we, the audience, are being set up for a sequel to "Maneater" the soon to be released, on TV or DVD,"Maneater II"!Using no special effect the movie has an actual tiger who's anything but full grown, he looks like he weighs between 80 to 100 not 600 pounds, do the dirty or bloody work in it. Taking down most of his his victims by ambushing them from behind, the big cat's favorite hunting tactic, we very rarely get to see him the movie. Still even without the big cat being in the frame it's brutal attacks, by just playing with the audience's imagination, are just as effective as if the cat was actually in them!With the National Guard and local police just about giving up in tracking down and killing the rampaging killer tiger in comes British Big Game hunter Colonel Graham, Ian D.Clark, offering his services! looked by everyone as an eccentric The Colonel proves to be the real McCoy in him having documented evidence that he hunted down and killed 12 man eating tigers back in India. What the Colonel failed to bring out, in his resume, is that the last man eating tiger he tried to hunt down, who killed and ate some 200 people, made a monkey out of him by always giving the Colonel, when he was about to gun him down, the slip!***SPOILERS*** It's at the very end of the movie that the killer cat comes out of hiding and that's when things get a bit confusing. Changing his very successful attack mode from the ambush to a frontal attack makes the tiger a sitting duck for the Colonel's, whom the tiger already badly mauled, double barreled elephant gun! Still it took a lot more then the Colonel, and his howitzer, to put an end to the man-eating tigers reign of terror! Or did it!

This is one the descent Sci Fi original i have see.The plot: The hunter becomes the hunted when the forested shadows of the Appalachian Trail are stalked by a wild animal out of its element, hungry and born to ravage. After Sheriff Grady finds a dismembered body in the area, he quickly discovers a print near the scene that identifies the predator as a Bengal tiger. Six hundred pounds, twelve feet from nose to tail, it's one of the most powerful cats on Earth. Now it's loose -- and there's no man on the Appalachian Trail with the skill, or the courage, to take it down.As i am huge fan of Killer Animals movies, There is no surprise that i liked this movie. What i liked about this movies was fact that it had boy who had Connection with Killer Tiger , Was such Great Idea and other Great idea was the boy Also had a religious nut of a mother keeps him out of school and has him memorize Bible chapters all day in their trailer while she's at work. When he tells her about the tiger, she dismisses it as an imaginative lie. Believing that the only useful information is that found in the Good Book, she avoids television and is thus completely unaware of the local attacks. Roy is also unaware, and when he discovers that the police are hunting it, he believes it is his responsibility to save the tiger and protect it from harm.They use an actual real tiger so there were no CGI in this movie at all.There are some good death scene in here more Bloody then Gory.The Biggest problem i had with this movie was the ending, i hated as the ending felt to rushed, it kinda of ruined the whole movie for me.If you liked the movie Prey (2007) should give this a watch. i rate this movie a 5/10

...as you may think. Essentially a re-make of JAWS, only the shark is now a tiger and the sea is now the Appalachian Mountains. How much like "Jaws?" Read on: the local sheriff gets involved when a Bengal tiger gets loose and begins killing the townsfolk, so he raises the alarm, much to the dismay of the town's smarmy mayor, who doesn't want the town's big money-making festival canceled. The local yokels get involved when a reward is announced for the killing of the tiger, and an outside "expert" tiger hunter shows up to track the beast as well. So many scenes are reminiscent of "Jaws" it's a wonder Spielberg hasn't sued. For example, a news photographer sets up a shark-proof cage...er...make that a TIGER-proof cage...in a field in order to capture some photos of the animal, and the results are pretty much the same as what befell the shark cage in "Jaws"...that is, it didn't offer any protection! The only significant difference between the two films is that this movie features a young boy who seems to have a strange sixth-sense about the animal, which features strongly in the plot.In spite of the obvious similarities, I actually enjoyed "Maneater" quite a bit. Gary Busey is quite likable as the local sheriff, and Ian D. Clark is just terrific as the British tiger-hunter. Ty Wood is very effective as the young boy with the affinity for the tiger as well.All-in-all, an entertaining way to spend 90 minutes of your time, though if you've seen Jaws, nothing here will surprise you.
