Movie Reviews of DogsMovie Review: Still one of my all time favorite nature-gone-bad horror movies!!! Summary: 5 Stars
Though one of the reviewers knocked this movie by saying what's so
terrifying about a cockerspaniel and a terrier running about and
chasing people down and pretty much advised other Amazon.com buyers
to literally skip this one because it's strictly for the dogs obviously didn't notice that this particular brand of horror film
is extremely unique and was quite popular during the 1970's.Besides,the movie--"DOGS",was part of the whole nature gone
bad genre that started off with STEVEN SPEILBERG'S film,"JAWS",and
then continued on with films like "GRIZZLY","THE DAY OF THE ANIMALS","ANTS","THE SAVAGE BEES","TERROR OUT OF THE SKY","TARANTULAS:THE DEADLY CARGO",and "RATTLERS"!DOGS is also reminiscent in many ways of ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S classic,"THE BIRDS",
and,in classic Alfred Hitchcock fashion,really gives you food for
thought.Though some of the other reviewrs of this movie have stated
that what is really making all the different dogs: dobermins,labradors,german shephards,sheep dogs,terriers,cockerspaniels,and french poodles go bonkers and literally go into a killing frenzy against the townspeople has something to do with their pheromones or a hush-hush secret government facility is really inaccurate,because,even though
both DAVID McCALLUM'S and GEORGE WYNER'S scientist-characters
do state their theory during the film that it could be related to
pheremones,the theory is proven wrong when they try an experiment
on the president of the university's dog after a bunch of domesticated dogs have already gone berserk and killed not just
livestock but people as well!They conduct the experiment on the
dog to see if the pheromones are really the main important factor
behind the attacks and killings,and if they can be contained.But
when the experiment ends in failure,and the dog turns vicious again
and breaks loose it's quite obvious that the pheromone theory was
incorrect on the scietists' part.And as far as the hush-hush secret
facility,it is mentioned briefly in a few scenes but then never again.But all in all,in those few scenes in which it was mentioned
there was no talk whatsoever of any actual experiments on domestic
dogs.So,that is the actual BRILLIANCE of director BURT BRICKERHOFF
who directed this unique entry in the horror genre and pulled it off
with the same class like I honestly believe ALFRED HITCHOCK would
have.Had he been handed the assignment.
