Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

To me, this movie is perfection.

A Masterpiece!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Returning to his ancestral home, a rock star and his band attempting to shoot a new music video in his old family home finds the locals' superstition about werewolves might be real and struggles to protect them from a rampaging beast in the area.This here wasn't all that bad and really had some rather enjoyable elements about it. One of the better features here is the fact that this one manages to get quite a lot of work out of actually implying he is the beast or not, which gives this one the majority of its positive points. By throwing out the family legacy early on and tying him into his father's fate as being a werewolf they all tracked down and killed, it starts off the underlying thread of whether he's truly become one as well which is furthered nicely with their own experiences around the house which makes for a great continuation here with the dream sequences and the story about what happened to him as a child that really sells this nicely. Likewise, the continual encounters with the bleeding and dazed villager bring along plenty of rather exciting confrontations here that are also quite important at pulling the thread of whether or not he's actually the creature of legend feared by the town, and there's a great bit of tension added as well with his constant appearances. That really changes in the finale as there's the supreme fun of the locals appearing to track him down at the castle, the charmingly cheesy hostage situation and the resulting shootouts in the upper halls of the castle-like house make for a grand time before it finally puts the werewolf center-stage with an astounding series of interactions with the others as it controls the neighborhood dogs to attack one minute and be calm the next, charging into the fight itself and managing plenty of great stalking set-pieces and finally utilizing the final rush to get away from the house that really ends this one on a positive note here. Coupled with the strong werewolf look and some pretty gruesome kills, there's enough here to hold this one off against the flaws to be rather enjoyable. The main flaw here tends to be the way this one feels so overtly from its time period that it does become distracting more than anything, mainly in the fact that the backing lighting here gives so many scenes a luminous blue light that's more akin to a music video from that decade than any kind of realistic situation would allow. It looks cheesy, destroys the atmosphere the present action is trying to establish and is featured so often it becomes overkill when it really didn't need it. As well, there's also the quick running time here that allows this one to race through quite quickly and really could've been expanded just a touch as the early attacks by the beast really could've been given a little more here to really expand the action much more throughout here in this section while also giving this a little bit more of a running time. While the great werewolf look does come at the expense of realism as it's quite obviously a prop-head only created for the inserts of it in the scenes, it's not as detrimental as the other flaws here that are a little more obviously flaws that bring this down.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.

Legendary Alice Cooper plays Vince Raven who is taking his crew to film some music video in his old family home in the middle of nowhere.Upon arriving they find that the caretaker is missing.Vince has a dark secret too and there is a monstrous dog on the loose thirsty for human blood."Monster Dog" by Claudio Fragasso is easily one of the most hilariously inept horror movies of 80's.The acting is bad and there are some dull moments,but on the other hand there is plenty of blood and screaming.The look of titular monster dog is astonishingly terrible.The central performance of Alice Cooper is pretty creepy and there are two his songs in the film:"Identity Crisis" and "See Me In The Mirror."Overall,"Monster Dog" is a load of fun for fans of cheesy horror movies.7 dogs out of 10.

Alright, the general consensus here is that this movie is "Great for Cooper Fans!". While I agree, being a huge, life long Alice Cooper fan who loves just about anything that he does (except for that damn Fresh Blood song...), I also feel that this movie has something more to offer. While watching it, I didn't find myself thinking "wow, look, it's Alice, he's so cool" at all. Because of the voice dubbing, I was able to completely forget that it was Alice I was watching, and I got more into the character of Vincent Raven.I remember watching this movie when I was 10 or 11. The reason I rented it was because I was a huge fan, and I wanted to see him. I remember the movie scaring the ever living out of me. I don't even think I made it through the whole movie. Now it, of course, doesn't scare me at all. It still does have great atmosphere though. There is some really cool lighting and cinematography to be seen here. The movie is pretty intense in some scenes, while not taking itself, or the genre for that matter, too seriously at any point. I bought this movie because I am a Cooper fan, and because I remember it from my childhood, but I ended up finding a rare, lost gem.Please watch this movie and give it an honest chance. It's cheesy, but I love cheese!

I am a huge Alice Cooper fan. I go to at least one gig on each of his UK tours, and he is the best live act I have ever seen. I own around twenty of his albums on CD. I also generally like bad movies, horror movies, and bad horror movies. In fact, I enjoy nearly every film I ever watch, regardless of genre or quality.I did not enjoy Monster Dog. Not even a little bit. It was excruciating.This is, quite simply, the worst film I have ever seen. Not so bad it's good; just so bad. So very, very bad. Not one single person involved with it was even remotely competent in any way. The dialogue sucks, the acting sucks (to the point where they frequently don't even have good cue pick-up), the pacing sucks (partly because of the aforementioned lack of cue pick- up), the cinematography sucks, the effects suck, and there aren't even any hot women. It is excruciatingly boring. There are two Alice numbers on the soundtrack, one of which is half- decent. Download them and save yourself the hassle, because they are the only reason to watch this picture.
