Don't go down to the basement, you idiot, there's a slavering hound waiting to attack you.

Despite the presence of Wes Craven as a producer, this is really a pretty unscary effort.

'The Breed' is an unfortunate, boring movie, with dialogues that seem out of the mind of a schoolboy. [Full Review in Spanish]

A group of friends fly out to a remote island for a fun getaway only to discover they are being hunted by a pack of wild dogs hungry for human flesh. This is much better a movie than it should be. Michelle Rodriguez, Taryn Manning and Oliver Hudson star in this pretty effective survival horror flick. Suspenseful and based in reality, tense and somewhat unnerving. Well worth watching.

This film is awesome. I've watched a lot of animal horror but never seen filmmakers achieve such realistic and brutal dog attacks. The pack of dogs are great and I love the way they've been filmed. The story is basic but that's all you need for this type of isolation horror, and the actors are good.

Pretty abysmal horror, even for low budget. Five friends travel by plane to an island where a pair of brothers amongst them inherited a cabin. The island was one home to a company that purportedly bred and trained seeing eye dogs. Turns out that was untrue, and the battle trained dogs have overrun the island. Piss poor effects and bad acting rule the day in this stinker.
