Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
I am a twisted individual that watches all Asylum Movies, more times than not they are so bad that I enjoy them... THIS is NOT one of them.there is NO plot and NO story line, A meteor lands and turn all the dogs into man eating (I'd say monsters, but they are still just) dogs...then it's just 90 minutes of dogs trying to eat/kill people.there is no explanation, no reason, no conclusion, it's just a really bad movie.again, I am a FAN of Asylum movies, but THIS is just complete garbage, do not waste your time, there is NOTHING see hear unless you like to see dogs attack humans for 90 minutes...That is literally all this movie is... LITERALLY!!
The idea is very Stephen King like, it could work for a no brainer, but the execution, it goes beyond that horrible limit, and just like in Even Horizon, it comes back with all that badness it saw there. You will see people getting killed by small dogs, you will also see main actors escaping 3 big dogs even after they were put to the ground, you will see characters so connected to their dogs that they will embrace death instead of getting some distance, and you will see some of the better animal attacks on film. In all fairness, The breed or The pack showed little dog attacks, these one using some CGI from time to time, does provide a better view.The movie has a couple of good old school actors, the main one does her job lovely, and keeping in mind that it is a syfy channel production, I think it got the most of its idea.I think it's a fair 4 stars, considering all that I mentioned. Seems about right.Cheers!
No,no, no! The previous four reviewers have it all wrong. This wasn't a slasher-monster movie at all. It was, instead, a riotous comedy! I literally laughed all the way through. Mostly at the sheer stupidity of the writers and storyline, but some of the mad-dog moments were hilarious! When the two fluffy, white shi-poodles (or whatever they where) bit off their mistress' nose, I was in stitches. See, when Syfy makes an "original" movie or series, you have to expect dumb, pointless scripts and flat, awful acting. So sit back and yuck it up. If you want to grieve then we can go with Eureka and Warehouse 13, both of which were canceled in mid-season by Syfy.
I love to read reviews who will compare this to everything it's not. Let's be clear it's a SyFy made for TV movie. Using that as a guideline, I gave it an 8. It had a dark edge to go along with typical "B" horror humor. Eric Red scared me like no other as a kid with The Hitcher, so I have been a fan since. Acting was above standard compared to many other movies in this category. I loved the chaos and build up to it, the ending was fitting also. Special effects was typical for the budget. If you are a fan of this genre I think you will not be disappointed. Please don't watch expecting something that it is not, use common sense and set your expectation meters down a notch from the all time greats. Coincidence?? Did anyone else notice the adorable little girl looking for Jinx? Check out her shirt...
