Dogs of Hell Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
stuarchie True story .. In 1990 I was a 5 year old harmless young lad. One day I was shown this movie by my loving sister' how bad could it be' well considering we had 2 fully grown Rottweilers living as happy family dogs May of caused the issue. After watching it I didn't feel any problems wasn't till it was bedtime then boom terrifying nightmares every week or so I was even scared of the tape itself. Actually destroying it in the end I was young never actually scared of Zara and Sugih They were great dogs. So after reminiscing and watching this film again I can say 10/10 for effort I'm properly still scarred in some way .
Chase_Witherspoon Amateurish, bloody, dimly-lit North Carolina production has the inimitable Earl Owensby as a mumbling, expressionless sheriff who must protect a town of unsuspecting yokels from an onslaught by a pack of aggressive rottweilers, trained by the government as special operations assassins, accidentally set free after the convoy transporting them overturns.Filmed in 3-D, director Keeter (a frequent Owensby collaborator, e.g. "Wolfman") builds an effective (and bloody) climax as the rabid hounds systematically corral the occupants of a luxury country club then treat themselves to the buffet. Camera angles framed for the purpose of accentuating the 3-D effects obviously do little when you're watching this on your regular TV-set (as I did), and the action is at times so cloaked in darkness (not to mention the incoherent dialogue) that it's often difficult to follow what's happening.If you accept that the flaws are attributable to its independent production values scale, and yet despite those constraints there's plenty of gory attack scenes and expensive looking explosions for those interested, then you might be persuaded to watch "Rottweiler" (aka "Dogs from Hell") at least once. Hard to locate, I got my copy as a VHS reject during the DVD revolution and I suspect the ex-rental market is the only place you'll find a copy, until someone enterprising (perhaps Owensby himself) decides to unlock the 3-D potential and re-release on DVD.
lost-in-limbo Independent star / producer Earl Owensby 3D fable "Rottweiler: Dogs from Hell" is a trashy, but mildly fun cheap-jack little animals run amok horror enterprise. I saw this one when I was only a kid and certain scenes had stayed in my head. I couldn't remember the title, where I only found it out recently. Came across a copy and when watching it the memories came flooding back. Don't remember it being as dodgy as it was, but it remained diverting enough.A pack of Rottweilers are trained by the military for warfare, but these vicious killing machines are accidentally released within a small mountain community when the truck they are in crashes. Soon bodies start piling up and it's up to sheriff Hank Willis (Owensby) to put an end to this carnage.Outside this systematic set-up (that has shades of "Jaws"); there are the small-town dramas to give it that genuine sense of community. Such distractions as angst teenagers (father and son issues), catfish talk, reflective time and women mud wrestling… these kinds of things feel like nothing more than filler. There's too much of it. When it came to the dog attacks, it's rather sloppy or off-screen with crude blood effects being splashed about. However when Owensby uses his magnum on the dogs; we are treated with graphic head imploding shots. There were one or two effectively minor intense set-pieces that spring out some calculative tension. Also we get plenty of POV shots from the dogs, as well growling which sounds more like someone's stomach is churning behind the camera… maybe that's where the panting arrived from too. Nonetheless is didn't sound as bad the daggy music score with its weepy piano pieces… which always felt it was going to cut to a sequence of someone playing a piano. It was just that odd in its placement. The performances are pretty much one-note, but Owensby equips himself quite well despite the script coming off as blunt and clumsy. Low-grade shoddiness, but sort of entertaining in that.
