The Breed

"The Breed" is one of those hard movies to rate. When I read the synopsis, I thought it was going to be a quite dull film. I believed the main plot was too simple and too repeated to deliver a good time-- come on, who would guess that a story involving serial killer dogs could be this good? And who would guess there would be enough plot for such simple story? Some youth decide to go to an island to spend some days, but they encounter a group of carnage dogs in that (apparently) calm place. Thought the cast is pretty unknown, they never fail in being credible, and Hill Harper shows he's a potential comedian-- he's very funny all the time without even trying. The dogs are well trained and believable-- except for the fact that sometimes one single dog is capable to kill a character, but sometimes three dogs aren't able to even make one character bleed. Directing is what really makes this film suspenseful. In fact, I really doubted that a film with this apparently silly story could be indeed scary and suspenseful. I swear, I was scared and found some scenes frightening! All in all, this is surprisingly good movie that shouldn't have such low rating on IMDb.

I watched this movie expecting a hacker. This movie is very well done from many viewpoints. It is obviously low budget, but it is one of the quality low budget movies us B-movie fans are privileged to see. The photography was good, the plot was simple ant the directer did not try to go beyond it, the actors did their parts very well. The area that they shot the movie provided a very nice backdrop for the movie. The little known actors that they used did a very good job overall without hamming up the action. As I said before, this is one of the gems that B-movie fans love. Very well done. No, I will not include any spoilers.

The pure reason I decided to watch this film was because of the leading actress that have been a fan of since Resident Evil and Lost, and I guess I was interested when I heard about the plot I wanted to see if it is as bad as it is made out to be by critics. Basically bad boy John (Oliver Hudson) has inherited an isolated lodge house on an island surrounded by woods, and he has invited his veterinarian brother Matt (Eric Lively), his girlfriend Nicki (Michelle Rodriguez), and friends Sara (Taryn Manning) and Noah (Hill Harper) to fly in the hydroplane to spend a few days in the new place. A day or two into their party like ways with drinking, swimming and sunbathing, a stray dog comes along that seems really cute, but then it turns vicious and attacks Sara. They recall that a facility for training dogs is near their area that was known to have closed down due to an outbreak of rabies, and soon enough they realise there are more dogs in the woods that have been infected. A couple, Luke (Nick Boraine) and Jenny (Lisa-Marie Schneider) are seen coming out of the trees covered in blood, and they are quickly killed by the pack of hounds, and they are still hungry for flesh, so the friends run and barricade themselves in the house. They try a few ways to escape, including the phone that has no service, the car that won't start, and the plane that floats away, until eventually they decide to go to the dog facility and find out what happened. They discover that the dogs have not just been genetically enhanced, but redesigned to become a new breed of killer dogs, and they do their best to kill as many of them as possible, but even John and Matt, the last two survivors can't escape. The only entertainment I got was watching Rodriguez looking sexy and being a hard nut, especially with her belly out and stuff, but the story is ridiculous, cute looking dogs turning evil is a B-movie thing that could have worked years ago, but it is just laughable, so the film has terrible acting, awful dialogue, no thrills and no scares, a stupid horror thriller. Poor!

I picked this up at the video store because Wes Craven's name was on it and the cover looked pretty good. I've seen other movies with Craven's name on them and they pretty much sucked. After watching the first sequence I thought this was going to be one of them. The opening actors are very weak and cheesy. However, once the movie got going, it was pretty decent. Of course there are better horror movies out there but the cast was great (except for the aforementioned opening couple) and the dogs were incredible. Michelle Rodriguez was beautiful and tough as usual and the rest of the cast complimented her well. If you're looking for a special effects type movie, this isn't it. It's also not a typical "blood and gore" movie. Some parts were predictable and the ending was a little disappointing but all in all I would say this is definitely worth watching.
