Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

horrorluvr3123 You know it never ceases to amaze me the how people don't do their homework. Everyone who comments on the dubbing of the movie needs to understand that Italian films, especially from the 70's and 80's, were shot in each actors natural language then dubbed later to whatever language was needed. So each actor during filming was speaking his/her language. Most of the time actors couldn't understand each other within a scene. A lot of times they didn't even record sound! Its embarrassing that people don't even look into these types of things, and then they comment on it.This is a bad movie but in a good way. Its cool to see Alice Cooper try his hand at acting, but you see why he never hit it big in the movies. Monster Dog is silly 80's trash, but I loved it.

Michael_Elliott Monster Dog (1984)** (out of 4) Alice Cooper plays the leader of a rock group who takes his band back to his hometown to shoot a new music video. Once there the group learns that the town is under attack by some mysterious murdering dogs but could it really be a werewolf? This Spanish production is also known as Leviatan and believe it or not the thing isn't too bad if you're a fan of Cooper's. The bad thing is that Cooper didn't get to dub his own voice so you have to hear someone else talking in his place but we do get a new Cooper song, which remained unavailable until a few years ago. The movie is from director Fragasso who is best known for co-directing several Italian films with the legendary Bruno Mattei including Hell of the Living Dead, Zombi 3 and Troll 2. All of those films have a notorious reputation so it's really shocking that this movie didn't turn out worst. The actual attacks are pretty lame and the blood level is rather low but the mystery is somewhat well handled and God knows this is certainly far from the worst werewolf film. I'm not sure why this title was selected for the American release unless the buyers only watched the opening twenty-minutes and actually thought the dogs were the big story as the werewolf part doesn't kick in until later in the film. Cooper turns in a decent performance but he's always been rather entertaining when appearing in films or doing his act on stage. The supporting players are all rather weak but no worse than what we normally see in a movie like this. Again, this is no lost masterpiece but fans of Cooper's should get a few kicks out of it.

Backlash007 ~Spoiler~Monster Dog is a film I haven't seen in ages. When I was a kid, I remember seeing this incredible box art for Monster Dog at the local Mom & Pop and knowing that I had to see that movie. It ended up being a terrible film. But I had to give in to nostalgia and see it again. Apparently my tastes haven't changed much. It's still a piece of crap, but it's an enjoyable piece of crap. Alice Cooper stars as Vincent Raven, a rocker who returns to his childhood home to film a music video. Unfortunately for him and his horribly dubbed Italian castmates (I'm pretty sure Cooper himself is even dubbed!), his return coincides with a string of vicious dog attacks. Is there a werewolf on the loose? Does it have something to do with Raven's father who was accused of being a werewolf? Is Raven a werewolf? Who cares? Claudio Fragrassi (he of Troll II fame) directed this abysmal horror attempt and there isn't much of substance here. There are two great Cooper songs featured in this film, and we get videos for both of them. I particularly love Identity Crisises. I'm pretty sure Alice Cooper was having an identity crisis when filming this. I can't help but laugh because, with his hair so short, he looks like Kevin Nealon from Saturday Night Live. That in itself brings a whole new dimension of fun to Monster Dog. Watch at your own risk.

lost-in-limbo Reputation alone this should be a stinker, even with the presence of rock singer Alice Cooper and the video case artwork being quite striking. Anyhow I went in expecting just that, and sure enough it's low-barrel straight-to-video schlock, which I actually didn't mind. This shoestring Spanish werewolf horror production feels like nothing more than a Cooper vehicle, especially with the time spent on him in some music video clips ( for two previously unreleased songs entitled, "Identity Crisis" and "See Me In The Mirror."). Yep that's right; he plays a popular musician (Hell at least he's true to character!) who returns back home to shoot a music video clip, but the town is plagued by murders caused by stray dogs, or something much worse. The concept isn't too bad, but the leaden script and muddled story dispatches any chance of demonstrating some quality with cheesy daftness, padded stretches and senselessly prolonged plot inclusions. Instead on relishing in suspense, and build up (despite some minor tension and sudden twist near the end) director Claudio Fragasso goes for nightmarish moodiness, as a smoky, darkly lit atmosphere of fog, and light filtering engraves itself into the forebodingly isolated location. There's no better place to stage these things than in rundown, shadowy mansions. Although it works, the direction comes off clunky, and uneven. An eerie, stinging music score splices up well with the on-screen atmosphere, while the soundtrack is an unshakable winner. Now the special effects… yeah they're hokey. However there's a terrific head explosion and plenty of blood splatter, but when it came to the beast's make-up. It's shonky. Even the dogs in picture look bewildered when the werewolf finally makes its grand appearance. The transformation sequence is wickedly cheap, but amusing. The acting is downright disposable and flaky, but Cooper's comfortably sound turn holds your interest and the ravishing Victoria Vera is tolerable.
