SunnyHello Nice effects though.
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
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.
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 .
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.
wbells This movie was very disappointing. When I chose this movie to watch, I expected to see lots of dog scenes & lots of blood. Most of the attack scenes consisted of some snarling then somebody screams & runs from the camera & then you see them with some scratch marks on their face & throats. I could have done better effects from my kitchen. The dialogue was awful & boring, the editing was terrible, there is not one thing worthwhile about this movie.
Scurfield This 3-D horror film, from Earl Owensby Studios, pits the local sheriff (played by Earl Owensby) against a pack of specially bred man-killing Rottweilers.The U.S. Military has developed a new experimental weapon; Rottweilers who have been specially bred and trained to replace soldiers in gorilla warfare situations. Unfortunately for the residents of Lake Lure (America's Mountain Playground) the dogs have escaped and are killing anyone they come across.Although dead bodies are turning up left and right Sheriff Hank Willis inexplicably decides not to warn the community, but instead puts together a posse to hunt down the dogs. The dogs are quite easy to kill, as their heads explode whenever they are shot, but finding the dogs before the dogs find their next victim is no easy task. Eventually the truth of the bloody-deaths reveals itself to the population, but common sense in this small resort town is in short supply. Soon only the sheriff is left alive to protect his town and family from the savage killers. Complicating matters further is the presence of Adam Fletcher, the scientist responsible for the creation of the military super-dogs. Fletcher wants to protect his experimental canine subjects, and is willing to fight Willis to save his dogs.Rottweiler: Dogs of Hell is not the worst film of its kind (Skeeter immediately comes to mind). It is a watchable movie, but I would recommend it to only the most serious of Rottweiler lovers. I rate it a 5 out of 10.
