I love movies that involve doggy-style, and this one has plenty of it...
Cast Members of Note- Taryn Manning, Michelle Rodriguez, Oliver Hudson, Eric Lively, Hill Harper and Lisa-Marie Schneider.
A group of
Post-Grad students head to a secluded island for a weekend of fun and hi-jinks, which mainly consists of drinking, trying to get laid and ripping on each other. Of course, the lone black guy in the movie takes the brunt of a lot of the ribbing since he's the "tag-a-long" and all. The poor guy just wants to get laid, but the snooty white girls will have none of it!

"Um, like, no and stuff. " |
They drink, play a game of "spin the whore," drink, shoot bows, drink, and drink. When a little puppy shows up, it not only warms everyone's hearts, but it also brings death with it. The little scamp is part of a dog-gang that bullies humans and steals their wallets. They even smoke cigarettes! They're bad dogs!

Spin the whore. |
The vicious dog-gang sets upon the lame
College kids, nipping and biting their way through them in a blaze of dog-glory. In what has to be the films highlight,
Taryn Manning actually karate fights a dog! It's really something to see. Will it be enough to save them though, or will the dogs have their day? I'm not going to spoil the ending for you here, but I will say that it doesn't look good for the humans.

The humans are fucked. |
For a
B-movie,
The Breed was well-made, well-acted, and had a pretty decent level of suspense. The idea of intelligent, pissed-off dogs terrorizing a group of people may sound absurd, but it works to great effect here. Apparently
Wes Craven sprinkled a little of his magic
Horror dust over this production, because this was a pretty cool movie.
The realism on display throughout this one is what really made me the most happy; for once, we get a group of people that thinks things through and act pretty smart. It's pretty refreshing to feel as though the filmmakers made a movie for intelligent people for a change.

"We'll name him Death-Bringer!" |
Bad dogs! You don't kill the hot women! Go lay down!

This dog needs to go back to Bitch School! |
The ending... really? Does every single
Horror movie have to use the same lame-ass ploy for one final jump scare in the very last scene?!? Boo! Yeah we get it, assholes; you suck at closing a film properly.

Us too, man. Us too. |
Dog murder, dogs mauling people, arrow violence, dog explosions... there's all sorts of dog-on-dog, dog-on-people, people-on-dog, an even people-on-people violence to be had here.

Yeah, don't help him or anything. |
Nope.

These are the puppies I really wanted to see... |
"Woof!" or "Bark!" or "Grrrr!" or "Some scary ass lassie's, that's what!"
Dogs hate people. Also, never trust puppies, because they lie.

This dog hates you. |
This is a surprisingly good movie. Smart, tense, violent, well-made... this is definitely one to rent or buy, depending on your mood. Thanks for giving us a good one,
Uncle Wes!
B+
The Breed is available now on
Blu-ray and
DVD.
The women of
The Breed make us howl with delight.
This film is great, but yeah- the final scare kinda sucked. I really like Michelle Rodriguez though. She's great in everything I've seen her in.
