Excellent adaptation.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
In continuing to review werewolf movies in chronological order, here's another obscure one from 1984 starring rocker Alice Cooper. He plays a rock star coming to his childhood home in order to shoot a music video with his crew with his girlfriend among them. He has a secret concerning his family and there are many dogs around the place that aren't very welcoming. I'll stop there and just say that I enjoyed this pretty much although the story didn't always make sense much of the time. And since this was an Italian production, all the voices were dubbed for the English-language version including Cooper's. His own voice is present during his two musical sequences which were perhaps the most entertaining parts of the film. No great shakes but Monster Dog, or Leviatan, is worth a look especially for Alice Cooper fans.
Amid the forgotten stacks of old eighties movies and television shows comes this, regrettably overlooked gem that came out of nowhere and returned to the ether almost as quickly. Alice Cooper stars as a harried, overworked rock star (what else) who inherits a rambling old mansion and a curse to go along with it. The music is what sets this film apart from others from this era, when films like The Terminator overshadowed everything in the horror field. 84 was a good year for horror movies. Cooper returns to his birthplace to record a new music video, after being gone for over twenty years. The film looks horribly dated, and is only available to view on Tubitv, which inundates its films with innumerable commercials, but the movie is uncut and fun to watch nonetheless. I remember seeing it when I was fourteen, with my good friend Vern. We watched it in the darkness of his basement, along with Slugs and Amityville Horror 2. A must watch for any fan of Alice Cooper and for rock films in general. There is lots of music involved, including some forgotten gems from the Alan Parsons Project as spooky background tunes. The film is atmospheric and frightening at times, other times campy and goofy, but always good and well worth a view or two. I place it high among my old favorites.
Starring Alice Cooper as a rock star (I mean, really? How's he going to pull that one off? >_>) returning to his home town, Monster Dog is something of a werewolf whodunnit without much of a whodunnit part. Since most of the attacks are credited to wild dogs whom we see throughout the movie (supposedly controlled by a werewolf because, well, werewolf mythology is anything you want it to be) the film builds up the idea that there may not even be a werewolf... or, at least, a werewolf that doesn't look like one.Because the movie doesn't have enough bizarre plot threads, you have an old (bloody) doomsayer running around as well as an angry mob who killed Alice Cooper's dad because they thought he was a werewolf. The mob, which consists of four angry rednecks, are the closest thing the film has to antagonists. Most of the time you're left wondering when that werewolf will show.And because Alice Cooper is a rock star playing a rock star, you have an obligatory terrible music video (entitled "Identity Crisis" which could either be clever foreshadowing or, more likely, they just thought it sounded cool...) which plays in the beginning (and is reused at the ending because, well, Alice Cooper) as well as some scenes of shooting another rock video. For extra laughs, Cooper's character is named Vince Raven. I'm not joking. Seriously, it's a name so badly contrived that you'd more expect it in the laziest of fanfics.All things considered, it's a decidedly average film. It moves at an okay pace (except for a far too long obvious dream sequence). The redneck gang was pretty entertaining even if they weren't played up enough. Pretty much everything in the film seemed to rush by, probably because they tried to do far too much.
Long scenes of weirdos trying to act like they care about whats happening around them when all they do is stare blankly at each other.The dubbing is just like the Saturday morning Kung fu shows with lips moving and no sound.Alice looks like one of the woman in this movie just with a BIG witch nose I hope they added that on during makeup cause that baby is huge, It scared the $&%X out of me more than the little kiddie makeup used during Halloween that they used to make this bore fest.I will say one good thing about this dumpster acting as a movie The Acting was great by the dogs they used! I see 45 Alice fans or just some Carmel covered nuts gave it a 10 that just shows you that Flies vote here to.I gave it 1 star out of 10 cause they don't have any thing lower.
