Fantastic!
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This was on TV last night and I gave it a shot when I read Lance Henkrisen is a lead. Boy was I wrong to do so. This must have been one of the most stupid movies I have ever seen. What annoyed me the most was the totally incorrect show of dog behaviour, and no, I don't mean when that dog turned mutated bad, I mean before. The female lead acts outrageously stupid as well, keeping a really big dog she saw attacking her boyfriend and like it was nothing, naively giving it to be taken for a walk to a 6 year-old small boy. Great idea. This boy though and his friend are real ahoes and get the dog to chase and kill and eat a poor cat in the worst ever monster swallowing scene in film history. Oh yeah, and when mutant dog turns crazy he just kill for the sake of it, and no, not only the bad guys, also the postman who was just there at the wrong time. It all ends with muti-dog being killed, his evil experimenting professor being electrocuted in another surreal stupid scene where another baby dog pulls the electrocuting trigger. Next scene, some months later, the female collie mutant dog impregnated has babies, they all look like collies but aha, there is one which looks like a Rottweiler mix. Yeah, that is not how genetics work in procreation. Terrible story line, terrible special effects, the producers had absolutely no clue about dog behaviour whatsoever, and these kind of stupid movies do absolutely nothing for the already and wrongly bad reputation of wonderful breeds like the Rottweiler for example. So yeah, total trash, couldn't loathe it more.
Sometimes, a movie is so bad it's good. Anaconda, Lake Placid, and Man's Best Friend. Go figure. There was a book out eons ago that I read with the same title, and this story seems to be loosely based on the book. What we have is a mixed breed (sorry) between Cujo, Electric Dreams, and Short Circuit; the last 2 dealing with Sheedy's character. She seems to be repeating her performance in Short Circuit. Anyway, she's a reporter and she and her camera woman get into a secret lab to film the atrocities done against the animals inside. They come across Max, who is the most loving, and large, dog ever, and since he's smarter than anyone else (probably negotiated for more pay too since his performance was outstanding) he hops a ride with the girls and escapes from the evil clutches of the ever-popular mad scientist. Max then goes to live with Lori, but a boyfriend gets in the way. You see, Max loves Lori, and will do anything to stay with her. Of course we get to see Max in action, knowing what a brake line is, and of course the first time he sees Heidi. Though the music playing for any scene with Heidi (Puppy Love) was about as corny as it gets, the scene where Max closed the bedroom door, as Heidi tries to hide under a pillow, is pure Cary Grant. And then, of course, we have the rape of Heidi. How Heidi gets pregnant, since we do not think that she's in heat, plus the fact for some scenes it's kind of obvious that Max does not have all his "boy" parts, remains a mystery, but we let it go. We're all focused entirely on Max, the real star of this movie, and one of the best performances by a canine I have ever seen. Shoot. One of the best performances of a lot of human actors out there now. Try and find this one at your local movie rental place, or on Netflix. Well worth the watch.
This is a film that gives new life to the awesome possibilities of genetic testing and breeding in animals. I found it rather amusing.The real star of the film is a 130lb. Tibetan Mastiff named "Max". Truly a beautiful animal to say the least but as portrayed in this film, he can be quite frightening!I would not suggest children under the age of 10 watch this. Its not real bad but you don't want to frighten your child of dogs. Tibetan Mastiffs are known for their deep "bellowing" bark which is often compared to that of a Fog Horn! This movie could easily scare a young, unsuspecting child.It does get started a little quick but is still a movie worth watching. Its great for those nights alone, cuddled up on the couch with some popcorn.
okay horror flick but nothing special that could have been a lot better if it wasn't for the uneven pacing and bland dog attacks the script isn't bad and it has some decent ideas but it' just isn't that thrilling. The acting is good Ally Sheedy is excellent here she's cute vulnerable and looks great with tears in her eyes Lance Henriksen is his usual solid self and delivers a good performance still i wish he would pick better projects Robert Costanzo is a disgrace to the acting profession (in my opinion) and i just wanted to beat him! Fredric Lehne is annoying and amusing at the same time he has his moments but he is off and on there SPOILERS!!!!! is a funny moment when the dog puts the steak tar tar in the toilet and flushes it overall nothing special what so ever only worth a watch if your really bored ** out of 5
