September 29, 2011Using Old School horror elements as we've seen in previous killer animal films such as Cujo and Man's Best Friend, The Breed is a decent B movie. The film doesn't really have a good cast, but they do their best considering that the script is so cliché. The ideas expressed in this... read more

September 16, 2011The dogs were fantastic; it was really impressive. I love how they were all German Shepherds though haha. Like every kind of German Shepherd- white, black, long haired, short haired, sable, etc. haha. Awesome. The acting and overall plot was dull and cliched (seen it all before).... read more

December 20, 2010Great start and kind of a lack luster ending. It does however contain one of my greatest pet peeves in film which is the injury that miraculously disappears when the script need it too.

January 9, 2010There's no doubt about it, this is one weird plot. It's almost like the unofficial sequel to Cujo, there's just more dogs and more carnage.

March 1, 2008Sweet Christ, this is a fucking dull movie. Michelle Rodriguez could not act her way across the street, though watching her get shot in the leg with a stray arrow aimed for her canine assailant is one of the funniest film moments I've had in months. Honestly, the rest of it is ju... read more

December 28, 2007A pretty good horror/thriller as some friends get trapped on a remote island with a pack of wild rabid type dogs after them. Not scary or gory but pretty good overall. If you want more blood and guts try the very bloody Wilderness, where I think they got the idea for this from!

June 4, 2007Acceptable B-Movie farce. Dogs go mad, not werewolves but dogs. Not scary sometimes unintentionally hilarious and events so predictable it's irritating the characters didn't see them coming. Okay for 80 minutes of stupidity.l The characters are at least given some emotion and bac... read more

Despite the presence of Wes Craven as a producer, this is really a pretty unscary effort. Full Review

The script is at times, laughable, and generally it's the four-legged actors putting in the best performances. Full Review
