We all love dogs, right?
The plot:
A gaggle of sickeningly attractive 'teenagers' head to a remote island, where two of their number grew up, to have a party weekend.
Should be fun.
That is, unless a pack of slavering dogs begin to attack, hellbent on feasting on their flesh.......
It's pretty derivative stuff, the old 'horde of unnaturally malevolent creatures attack in numbers,' the obvious trick here being it's dogs rather than, say, zombies or vampires or werewolves or phantoms or slugs or rats or.....
Know what I mean?
The cast are pretty loathsome, with the notable exception of Michelle Rodriguez, who does her best with the heap of shit she's given to work with, both in terms of script and co-stars.
All that being said, I didn't hate this, with the dog attack scenes being effectively handled and, given that we take these things in as pets, it is quite disturbing to see them tearing corpses apart like the scavengers that they truly are. One gloriously disturbing image involves a white coated canine removing it's large head from the abdomen of a fallen member of the pack, it's beautiful white coat stained pure crimson. Quite a striking visual.
Nothing remarkable to see here, but worth a watch just for the killer dogs.
