Burning Bright centres around a young woman named Kelly Taylor and her autistic little brother Tom. They've become trapped in their home with a wild and ravenous tiger during a hurricane. What develops over the course of the movie is a game of survival as the two try to evade the tiger and find a way out. Course that's easier said than done.

Burning Bright is a superb example of how claustrophobic horror should be made. It's incredibly unnerving in parts, delivering solid suspense from the beginning to the end. The acting quality is superb, Briana Evigan who plays Kelly Taylor is really the one who keeps the movies tension alive. It's through her performance that all the thrills n spills are handed out to the audience and believe me when i tell ya, there are moments when you'll be looking away from the screen. Charlie Tahan plays her little brother Tom and delivers a brilliant portrayal of a young autistic child caught in a rather hellish situation. All round the acting quality is more than good and the cast definitely get a thumbs up for their performances. Oh, be sure to look out for Meat Loaf at the beginning of the movie, he plays the guy selling the Tiger to the stepfather, although weirdly he's uncredited.

As i said before Burning Bright is incredibly unnerving, it'll have yer stomach turning inside out! As far as scares go this is one of the best flicks I've seen in a while. If only half the mutant/monster movies we review were this good our lives would be much happier, although i dare say we'd have to contend with more gray hair. Ultimately for scares I'm giving Burning Bright a strong thumbs up.

Gore wise things are quite light. Even though the tiger does get it's teeth into a couple of folks you never really get to see much and even if you do there's very little to see. Gore isn't what this movie is about really. It's a nerve jangler plain and simple.

So, Burning Bright gets a full recommendation for it's immensely tense atmosphere and suspense. It's probably the best animal terror flick you'll see in a while so best grab this one. You'll be missing out if you don't.
