If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Cujo on Crack; if you don't believe me – watch the entirety of the movie.A series of events unfold an an island with a grisly secret. What should be just another vacation (or weekend) get away for a group of (presumably) college students, turns into a nightmare as they are hunted by a group of dogs that does not want them on the island. The verdict is out on just what exactly affects the dogs, but the group knows they need to get to safety or they will otherwise meet their fate with death.The movie isn't just Cujo for the new millennium; but rather has lots and lots of dogs afflicted with the same thing. Each is out to tear apart the group that is otherwise trespassing on 'their' island. Added for effect is the fact it is an island, their plane (they used a plane) sabotaged and drifting away, the vehicle they find is useless, and there is no signal from their cellphones. Not just typical of horror movies, but the movie focuses on humans trespassing in an area which is no longer their domain.The movie uses suspenseful music, moments which genuinely me (and presumably others) jump, and thriller moments where the hunted actually fight back. This isn't just another horror movie – it is a bit unique in many areas and many horror movies could do well to copy it.As a bonus? One of the one liners references Cujo. An enjoyable movie, to say the least.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/?p=5515).

A bunch of adults-playing-teenagers go to an isolated house, for a weekend of fun and everything else teens do in horror films. However, what was at first a fun weekend for the group ends up as a fight for their life as they are attacked. As expected from the plot and/or from a Wes Craven picture, 'The Breed' is overflowing with the typical slasher clichés. Also present is Craven's typical 'tough female lead', this time played by Michelle Rodriguez (who really isn't good).However, two things change in this usual horror-movie clichéd situation: the house is in a 'deserted' island instead of a forest (which changes the usual escape tactics); and the killer here isn't a Jason-style stalker, but rather intelligent (genetically enhanced) and rabid dogs.To my surprise, the characters act unexpectedly smart for horror movie victims, actually thinking and coming up with decent/good plans to escape/fend off the dogs (though their dialogue skills are still heavily impaired). However, the usage of real, trained dogs instead of CGI is easily the film's highlight; the best scenes are done by them, with or without the humans.It's a very dumb and idiotic film but also rather fun, and the dogs are definitely the movie's true stars. Not something to look for, but not a bad choice to watch if you haven't anything else to do.

This is a virtual copy of the 1959 film, "The Killer Shrews," complete with folks stranded on an island and being attacked by killer dogs (or dogs dressed up like shrews). Both films are equally bad. Everyone does the stupid things people always do in horror films. Every cliché you can imagine is on display here. It is astounding that Michelle Rodriguez, a competent actress, would appear in such schlock (and surrounded by very bad actors). I know, I know...she has to pay her rent, too! This movie is a dog! Bow-wow.No dogs were harmed in the writing of this review.Woof-woof!

I liked two points in this movie. First wild dogs that really made me fear during the movie and the struggle of young people to get out of this trouble.They use their brain and prepare some plans based on their mental level.It was one of the best horror movies I have ever seen.Wild dogs can make a movie more scary than strange creatures can do.I think, it is because of the reality, that is, wild dogs are real things and really exist in our life and everyone is afraid of wild dogs but some creatures which are used in horror movies do not exist in real life and this property reduces the level of impression we can get during the movie.
