Movie Reviews of Baxter

Movie Review: Very Torn (SPOILERS)
Summary: 3 Stars

I have to say as a dog lover and animal rights activist that a few scenes seemed way to real for the late 80s and if the abuse if the bull terrier and the black dog (and a few others)were really real, then I am ashamed to give any stars and take them back, but I am giving the makers of it the benefit of the doubt. That being said, it was like a trainwreck for me. I can't stop thinking about this movie. I knew I wasn't going to like it the minute I started watching and I was deeply disturbed, but I couldn't turn away. I started out hating Baxter in the beginning, but there was always a part that felt a little bad for him because of the narration that tried to show the dog's thinking versus our own. By the end of the movie, I felt that the boy and other characters were so evil that it made this murdering but loyal dog seem innocent. Throughout the movie all Baxter is trying to be is to be loved, whether killing the baby, or the old lady to get there. I actually found myself wanting Baxter to have a good owner which I though he would have in the kid before he lost his mind. All Baxter wanted was approval from his owner as well as challenge. Finally he got those from the boy and grew a conscience that's why he disobeyed and didn't do kill the boy's friend. But his conscience and loyalty did him in in the end. One thing I disagree about with the end is that I do believe the kid does get in trouble because you better believe the other kid that he tried to get Baxter to attack ratted him out. Another option is that the kid tries to kill his parents (like they set up in the end) so that he can be with the lady that Baxter loved across the street from the old lady (which turns out to be the irony= he really si just like Baxter in that way= wanted to be loved).

Summary of Baxter

In this chilling French horror film the inner thoughts of a sociopathic bull terrier lead him to become an eager killer when he meets his ideal guardian - a young boy fascinated with Hitler. Lonely and introverted this boy's macabre interest helps turn the all-too-willing canine into a thoroughbred killing machine.
