Monster Dog Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Lidia Draper 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.
Neil Springmont Why would anybody OK this script for production? Why would anybody actually watch this movie in its entirety?Why am I writing a review for a movie that should be banned from ever being viewed? Because I'm a colossal loser. And so are those who enjoyed this piece of garbage.h
GL84 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.
tom_stratford Absolutely one of the worse films ever made. A slice of Italian garbage. So cheap no audio was recorded during the filming, like in the silent days, then added after editing. And someone else dubs Cooper's voice to boot! And there he is, the "Star" of the movie, the Iconic Alice Cooper himself, filmed in 1984, just after Cooper was released by Warner Brothers Records for his run of "blackout" albums, {the ones he was so drunk, and stoned on Cocaine he can't remember recording them} as well as yet another stint in rehab. No band, no tours, so why not subject yourself to making a "C" rated horror flick, that lacked any horror, or even anything associated with competent acting, directing, or dialog. So what we get is Cooper sleepwalking through this pile of feces, all with an expression on his face, that seemingly says.."God, how I hate my life"!
dcmsn Long scenes of weirdos trying to act like they care about whats happening around them when all they do is stare blankly at each other.The dubbing is just like the Saturday morning Kung fu shows with lips moving and no sound.Alice looks like one of the woman in this movie just with a BIG witch nose I hope they added that on during makeup cause that baby is huge, It scared the $&%X out of me more than the little kiddie makeup used during Halloween that they used to make this bore fest.I will say one good thing about this dumpster acting as a movie The Acting was great by the dogs they used! I see 45 Alice fans or just some Carmel covered nuts gave it a 10 that just shows you that Flies vote here to.I gave it 1 star out of 10 cause they don't have any thing lower.
