Product Description:
A group of friends (Michelle Rodriguez, Taryn Manning, Hill Harper and Oliver Hudson) fly away to a deserted island for the weekend, an island once controlled by a special canine research unit. They soon realize that this beautiful getaway will become their biggest nightmare. Inspired by the horror classics, Cujo and The Birds. The Breed takes you into the jaws of a flesh eating pack of wild dogs, genetically engineered to hunt and kill. Outnumbered and trapped they struggle to outsmart and outrun this terrifying species.

Amazon.com:
Wes Craven served as executive producer on this direct-to-video chiller about a group of friends who discover that the remote island they've chosen as a vacation spot is home to a wild pack of attack dogs. After dispatching a sailboater and his bikini-clad girlfriend, the canines (which look more cuddly than ferocious) pick off the interloping friends with all-too-human cunning; the survivors have just enough time to discover that the mutts are the product of military genetic experiments to create unstoppable attack dogs. Director Nick Mastrandrea (a longtime production associate of both Craven and George Romero) lends a professional look to his debut feature, and gets decent performances from his cast (which includes Lost's Michelle Rodriguez, Taryn Manning, and Oliver Hudson), but the script is tired almost from page one, and the resulting action and gore do little to help this indie picture stand out from the rest of the horror crowd. Dog lovers with soft hearts should be forewarned that the CGI stand-ins for the animal actors endure some gruesome abuse in the course of the picture. –-Paul Gaita

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This may be Wes Craven's best film ever
OK, first off I would like to say that usually I'm not the biggest Wes Craven fan. I never have thought his PG-13 horror films were worth much of anything and before this film the only good movie I ever thought Wes Craven ever directed/produced that well were the Night Mare On Elm Street films, the one series of movies I was told were scarier then anything else when I was little. But this film was a really good movie, it was well worth the $7.50 I payed for it at Family Video. The monsters in ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Where's the Dog Whisperer when you need him?
Not since Cujo has man's best friend become his worst enemy. Whereas the previous attacks were caused by rabies, this time around it's the result of genetic engineering gone wrong.

A group of young friends make their way to an isolated island where they expect to spend a wild time full of drinking, partying, and debauchery. What they find instead is a large pack of vicious dogs protecting their island; or, as one character put it, "scary-a@# lassies" looking for food. Although, ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Down boy.Good dog.
A group of friends get together on an island.The island houses a facility where genetic research was done on dogs.Dogs + genetic tampering = cranky(very smart)dogs who resent human intrusion on their island.Wacky puppy play ensues.

The characters are believable and the acting is good.They react pretty much as I would(except none of them soil themselves),and try some very inventive yet logical ways to evade and escape the dogs.Not all of them make it of course.Michelle Rodriguez(The Fast ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great movie...................
We enjoyed this movie and has become one of my favorites. It is hard to explain but this is a scary yet feel good movie. The characters keep you interested and entertained. The dogs are extremely cruel which is what was expected. Overall a well put together movie!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - More fun than Cujo
The island setting for this flick makes for a perfect
setting for this movie. It jumps right into a terrorfest.
The suspense keeps coming, and all those intelligent,
mean, calculating dogs are a formula for fear. And don't
expect a happy ending for this bunch. I think's this
movie has got some bang for the buck. One must remember
that not every movie has to cost $200 million dollars
to be worthwhile.
