Sadly Over-hyped

Pretty Good

Overrated and overhyped

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The premise of the movie, 2 brothers and 2 girls and a friend fly to a house on an island for a week of partying. Nope don't cue up serial killers or masked murderers, instead we have killer canines. YEP!!! DOGS. The plot is pretty weak as these killer dogs chase the cast in and out of the house. To me the acting was bland. Taryn Manning (Sarah) who is 28 when she made this but looks weathered and worn. She is supposed to be the sex appeal, certainly does not pull off that standard. Michelle Rodriguez (Girlfight, S.W.A.T, Fast/Furious) plays the tough but oh so gorgeous NIKI and powers through the fil as it's only grace.

This is a well made horror film , and i liked it. When i saw that Wes Craven was involved as the executive producer in this film ,it gave me hope for it, and i was not disappointed. The dogs played their big part too as in being very realistically menacing , like real savage junkyard dogs.The acting was good by the humans too , with a decent enough story, so i say go watch this film, it's about as good as Stephen Kings Cujo.i give this 7 out of 10 which is a good score from me.

Partying for a weekend, friends head to a deserted island to have it for themselves where they realize that there's a pack of vicious, experimental dog breeds living on the island preventing them from leaving and try to get away before the dogs tear them apart.While it's not that bad, there's some really solid points here. Among the better features here is the fact that this has a lot of really great action scenes as there's some really great moments that are spread because of all the dog attacks. The first attack in the woods is quite good, with the dogs appearing out-of-nowhere to get the drop on the victims at the cabin is a fun scare, and there's even some really great attack scenes going on throughout from the several long fights in the car to the fun inside the barn and all the way to the real greatness of the military complex at the end. These the attack scenes are all fun and quite entertaining as the fact that the dogs do launch plenty of attacks and manage to keep the pace to this one up-tempo for the most part here. The fact that the real dogs are used in them is a great move, since they're realistic looking and make them look even more brutal and dangerous than what CGI can make it look and it's a lot better when it looks more real. The fact that they're real makes their brutality seem even more vicious seeing them tear into the body and scratching up with the wounds is great. Along with the great bloody wounds that are quite realistic, these here is what makes the film so fun. This one here doesn't have a whole lot really wrong with it. The film's biggest problem is that it feels way too similar to another film involving killer dogs out there. It's not exactly taken note-for- note, but this one still hits the more important areas and puts them together with very little changes to break up the differences. There's even several scenes that are taken straight out of the movie here without much difficulty spotting them. Had this one not really done that route, it would've had a little better chance. That would've left the film's main flaw, the dreadful middle segment, still there. After the first attack, there's very little in terms of anything happening for a pretty hefty stretch of time. This is a momentum killer, as it resorts to having them do nothing in the time rather than spend time talking about useless topics. It gets boring, and derails the film slightly, yet the film's main concern is the film's closeness to the other film.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and violence-against- animals.

Film starts out pretty non-eventful. Random teens go to an island for a weekend of vacation but UH OH, the island is infested by rabid dogs! They don't explain too much about how the dogs get there but it starts off all cuddly when the group of young teens adopts some puppy. The puppy escapes one night and said hot blonde chick who I really wanted to go nude gets bitten by a rabid wild dog! From here you can assume what happens but the dogs all look so innocent and cuddly I couldn't help but make, "OOOH SA BABY BOY!" noises when they came on screen. There's no way those dogs would've hurt me. Anyway, the rest of the plot is unbelievably awesome and why this movie deserves box office gold.After setting the scene, Mike Vick pops on scene about 45 minutes in with crazy metal background music and start chucking 100 mph footballs at the dogs rescuing the folks. He also starts out running the dogs and using his crazy football moves to dodge their attacks, etc.Then at the very end, he is going down. He has like 5 dogs cornering him... and Alge Crumpler pops into the scene after gut checking a dog and says, "Looks like you could use some HANDS!" At this point Alge Crumpler is FULL on Falcons uniform and as the camera pans back Mike Vick is now in uniform also but with a ninja mask! Then the two get up and start out-dodging the dogs. Mike Vick continues spamming footballs which auto generate and an F-22 jet starts shooting missiles out of nowhere. Right now we've got crazy guitar playing and Vick is throwing footballs all over and Alge is catching them and power slamming dogs at the same time. The jet is still circling and a commanche helicopter busts onto the scene piloted by Arnold Schwarzeneggar who says calmly, "It's a hell of a day for a dog fight." He naturally blows the F-22 out of the air with no reasoning what so ever. The FX sequence takes at least 3 minutes.Dogs are getting mowed down all over. One tries to assassinate Vick but he grabs it, electrocutes it, folds it into a ball like object, CHUCKS it at another dog. DOG goes down big time. The Husky and Cuba Gooding Jr. pop out of nowhere but Ahnuld takes em out with double helix style missiles.This goes on for like 30 minutes and finally it's all over. Vick, Crumpler, Ahnuld and the survivors survey the damage. One dog barks over the horizon and charges in. Ahnuld grins at Vick who says, "Dog eat dog." and charges the dog. They leap at each other and Vick BITES his head off and ROARS, I said ROARS!!!!!!1!!!!!111 The movie ends with hardcore metal playing as the three... Vick/Crumpler/Ahnuld walk outta there. The remaining teens are not shot as nobody gives a **** about them anyway.
