When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I stumbled on this dvd in a garage-sale for 10 cents and didn't have high hopes, but it turned out as a gem! Don't let the relatively low rating here on IMDb fool you, this is actually a very good film. It's not so much horror as more of a nerve-wrecking thriller, imagine Cujo and The Birds tied together by Wes Craven as producer and you'll get the drift. The plot is simple: a bunch of friends are planning a few leisure days on an abandoned island, when to their horror they are attacked by wild and ferocious dogs. They have to try every cunning trick they can think of to outsmart the dogs, while the body count increases. The pace is high, the dogs are really menacing, the special effects and stunts (many attacks by the dogs) are top notch and I was sitting on the edge of my chair the whole time, right up to the last scare. Okay, the whole "genetic manipulating"-thing wasn't really necessary as far as I was concerned, and the complicated brother-to-brother feud didn't serve any purpose either, but for the rest I absolutely loved it!

This is a well made horror film , and i liked it. When i saw that Wes Craven was involved as the executive producer in this film ,it gave me hope for it, and i was not disappointed. The dogs played their big part too as in being very realistically menacing , like real savage junkyard dogs.The acting was good by the humans too , with a decent enough story, so i say go watch this film, it's about as good as Stephen Kings Cujo.i give this 7 out of 10 which is a good score from me.

Partying for a weekend, friends head to a deserted island to have it for themselves where they realize that there's a pack of vicious, experimental dog breeds living on the island preventing them from leaving and try to get away before the dogs tear them apart.While it's not that bad, there's some really solid points here. Among the better features here is the fact that this has a lot of really great action scenes as there's some really great moments that are spread because of all the dog attacks. The first attack in the woods is quite good, with the dogs appearing out-of-nowhere to get the drop on the victims at the cabin is a fun scare, and there's even some really great attack scenes going on throughout from the several long fights in the car to the fun inside the barn and all the way to the real greatness of the military complex at the end. These the attack scenes are all fun and quite entertaining as the fact that the dogs do launch plenty of attacks and manage to keep the pace to this one up-tempo for the most part here. The fact that the real dogs are used in them is a great move, since they're realistic looking and make them look even more brutal and dangerous than what CGI can make it look and it's a lot better when it looks more real. The fact that they're real makes their brutality seem even more vicious seeing them tear into the body and scratching up with the wounds is great. Along with the great bloody wounds that are quite realistic, these here is what makes the film so fun. This one here doesn't have a whole lot really wrong with it. The film's biggest problem is that it feels way too similar to another film involving killer dogs out there. It's not exactly taken note-for- note, but this one still hits the more important areas and puts them together with very little changes to break up the differences. There's even several scenes that are taken straight out of the movie here without much difficulty spotting them. Had this one not really done that route, it would've had a little better chance. That would've left the film's main flaw, the dreadful middle segment, still there. After the first attack, there's very little in terms of anything happening for a pretty hefty stretch of time. This is a momentum killer, as it resorts to having them do nothing in the time rather than spend time talking about useless topics. It gets boring, and derails the film slightly, yet the film's main concern is the film's closeness to the other film.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and violence-against- animals.

I like those movies with the little dogs, and this one was worth watching just for the presence of Michelle Rodriguez ("Lost", Bloodrayne). It's not Cujo or Rottweiler, but it did feature some ferocious animals and a bitchin' ending. Besides Michelle, it also featured Taryn Manning from Hustle & Flow, and Lisa-Marie Schneider for a short while. Yeah, there were some dudes (Hill Harper from "CSI NY") there, too, but who was watching.When you think of dogs, you think of that little puppy waiting for you at home, not horrifying monsters or angry demons. Chomp chomp.
