Macerat It's Difficult NOT To Enjoy This Movie

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

hunsletramone 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.

complications123 Have you ever seen a movie where you thought "what a great idea!" only to be let down by the execution? Well, "The Breed" is sort of the opposite. It's a fairly silly idea pulled off fairly well, especially in the horror sub-genre of animal/nature attacks. The cast is all pretty decent, no egregious under or over-acting. Rodriguez has a nice change of pace as the strong but friendly female lead.Basically this film plays off of everyone's fear of a wild dog, although to spice it up a little these dogs rely on planning and strategy just as much as brute force. A little out there perhaps, but at least the dogs used are real and there isn't once a hint of a bulky puppet or too-slick-to-be-real CGI.One aspect that sets "The Breed" apart from similar horror films is the logistical reasoning of the characters. Everyone's actions are generally understandable. Instead of the usual Act 2 fall-apart of all but the best horror movies, rife with teenagers who unleash a maniacal bloodlust or the bookworm who suddenly takes down several trained military personnel or (of course) the young adults who scoff at death with unchained promiscuity and substance use, we can clearly identify each of these characters as fairly average college-aged people. Another big plus is the absence of a gun as a plot device. The bow and arrow is the closest parallel, but realistically, it is used inefficiently and lost long before some pivotal moment of group survival. So often in horror movies I am befuddled by where so many guns pop up and why, if so many guns are floating around, no one can consistently seem to use one throughout the film.So "The Breed" does get a nod for being as realistic as high-concept horror can, but unfortunately there isn't enough originality to keep it within memory very long. No spectacular atmospheres or moods generated, no breathtaking special effects or breakout performances; it's simply a fairly mundane idea pulled off quite well.

wes-connors Five college students go to an isolated island home inherited by two of the men. Aviation and archery enthusiast Oliver Hudson (as John) is the irresponsible pilot who flies them away from a weekend of studying. He's like an "eagle scout in black sheep clothing." Blonde brother Eric Lively (as Matt) comes in handy with veterinarian skills. The future doctor is "smart and calm under pressure." Attractive girlfriend Michelle Rodriguez (as Nicki) is "perky, athletic and randy." She can take an arrow through her leg and bite the bullet. Likewise sexy in a bikini Taryn Manning (as Sara) is unhitched, but pines for Mr. Hudson. Fifth wheel Hill Harper (as Noah) is a "professional student" who learns how to change a fuse...The party of five drink, sit in the sun and drink some more. At first, everything seems peaceful. But the islanders soon discover uncommonly wild dogs are lurking around. They turn out to be unfriendly and bloodthirsty. The dogs get rid of Hudson's airplane and decide they should eat the cast. Generally, director Nicholas Mastandrea and film editor Nathan Easterling do very well enough soloing. They manage to make the obviously good dogs seem scary. The story might have been better, though, if it equaled or improved upon similar fare. A bitten victim shows signs of infection, then the subplot is dropped - and, do we ever learn much about the genetically engineered canine problem? ***** The Breed (5/18/06) Nicholas Mastandrea ~ Oliver Hudson, Eric Lively, Michelle Rodriguez, Taryn Manning

bahadrkk 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.
