Diagonaldi Very well executed

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Leofwine_draca I was looking forward to this one, as there was a picture of a dog with three heads on the cover. Wow, I thought, a dog with three heads. Cool. Unfortunately the dog in the film only has one head, and is less than convincing. This film looks like it had no budget at all and we frequently see the boom mike hovering about at the top of the screen. It's a vehicle for the ageing Yvonne De Carlo who keeps a dog which has the power to murder people. The background story is something ripped from Great Expectations (an unlikely source, I know).The murders are all very tame and the most gore is blood running down someone's face. A woman is electrocuted in the bathtub, a man is strangled with a dog leash, a man is hit by a car. We are supposed to believe that a dog is capable of all of these murders. It's slow and very dull indeed and some scenes are downright laughable, especially the rubbish ending where Yvonne De Carlo is licked to death by the dog.However as is the case in a lot of these type of films there are some good bits, one of these is the actor playing the old policeman who is pretty entertaining. In fact he is probably the only good actor in this film. The main female lead was appalling and screeched whenever someone died in so horrible a fashion I was forced to cover my ears to shield myself from the noise. Give this rubbish killer dog flick a miss unless you're a glutton for self-inflicted punishment.

Bezenby This might be some kind of b-movie classic. This is a film where a dog is the killer, but those expecting Cujo style dog attacks will be well let down, because this dog does it's whacking gangland style, yo.Some Auntie who's into Satan and all that jive isn't too happy with the way her dead sister's estate turned out (I think). So she trains up this dog to be a killer and gives it to her niece as a present. Only prob is that this dog is out to kill all of aunt's enemies and does so by accidental car death, electrocution, strangulation and poison.Like you I was wondering why it didn't just rip the throats out of folks, but there you go. Maybe it was because the dog involved was such a cutey and no one could believe it could kill someone using it's teeth. Who knows.Also, there's this sex scene that seems to involve body doubles, and the body double covering for the chick has bweuubs three times the size of the actress she's covering for so watch out for that.This film is great!

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Yvonne De Carlo of "The Munsters" fame star in this horror about a very bitter heiress who former lover falls for her sister. Because of this, she would take matters in a supernatural way. The former lover has a child, who is now grown, loses her mother in a tragic accident. Animosity and resentment gets involved in the reunion. Trying to make peace with the family, the aunt wants to move forward. But there's another thing, she has a Rottweiler from Europe that seems docile, but the appearance can be a ploy. Not only is the aunt is wealthy, she's involved in sinister black magic. She used that hulking dog to exact revenge on the lover and her sister. And turns it loose on the siblings as well. Driving the niece out of her mind, and causing much mayhem. This dog is so smart, it can throw off the brightest of detectives. Especially, when he put that drain cleaner along with the seltzer. Can't tell which is which. This movie was not well made. A little spoiler from the crew was spotted during the love scenes. In fact, I was wrong about "Dogs" in 1976, this movie really was barking up the wrong tree. 1 star!

RacerX-23 Right off, I have to explain why I've given this film ten stars.Bad films are something of an art form in themselves. Think Ed Wood, think Brian DePalma (come on... be honest, he s*cks, and you know it.) Play Dead has no pretensions. It knows it's a pile of crap, and it revels in it (in as much as a film can do anything more than just exist, but bear with me, I've got this theory...) Look, the dog, while a bit underbitten and mopish looking, just excludes sweetness. She's a Serious Canine Actress, and a God Dog, and she's trying -- for God's sake. Can't say much for Lily Munster though, except, for a husky old broad, she still looks pretty good.Come on -- it's a film about a Satan-inspired Rottweiler serial killer, what did you expect? Straw Dogs? Mystic River? Hell Comes to Frog Town? Hand me another Heinekin and I'll shut up, serious.And come on -- the dog was cute.
