Burning Bright sounds like a SyFy Channel premise; a tiger loose in a house stalking a college aged girl and her Autistic brother but it's execution is far superior than any of the nature amok films that are churned out for cable and DVD every month. Genuinely suspenseful and utilising a real tiger (take that CGI!) the simple story avoids being bogged down too much in melodrama and the very attractive husky voiced Briana (Step Up 2 The Streets, Sorority Row) Evigan makes a good show of herself all sweat soaked and running about in her pyjamas.
There are flaws, though minor compared to some larger budgeted films, and as no film is perfect they are forgivable. The editor does a good job of tying the shots together to keep the feel of the tiger and the actors in the same environment though gore hounds will be inevitably disappointed by only one on screen mauling, but for one "F-bomb" this could easily be rated PG.
A very enjoyable distraction that has Happy Horror Hard On suitably errect.
