Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Claudio Fragasso's Monster Dog will most likely fail to tickle the fancies of those seeking laughs from the unintentional comedy promised by its director's reputation. Rated: 1/5 Oct 8, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I've over 250 films on my Lovefilm rental list, yet this is what they send me to watch this weekend... Hmm The title says it all really. It's a low budget spin on werewolf movies with Alice Cooper in the lead role. It isn't very good, but it isn't really trying to be. It doesn't quite fit into the 'so bad, it's good' genre of films either. Cooper plays a rock star (so he's basically playing himself) who travels with his friends to his rural hometown to shoot a music video. Their visit coincides with devil dog attacks on the small town populace and it is discovered that Cooper's family have a hereditary legacy of a 'lycanthrope curse'. There have been better episodes of the cartoon series Scooby Doo (which probably had better acting in too). The enjoyment factor depends heavily on whether or not you like Alice Cooper. I do, but his presence isn't quite enough to carry the film. There is however, a great Alice Cooper-penned song which the film starts and ends with and that was enough for me to justify watching this. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member tongue in cheek b movie horror with Alice Cooper. Approach with caution. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member I love Alice Cooper but this is fucking terrible. The only thing I liked out of this whole movie was the two songs and you can find them on Alice coopers boxed set, the Life and Crimes Of Alice Cooper. This movie is so bad they dubbed Alice Coopers voice so that should tell you something about the quality of this. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member great fun......old school film cheesy horror shows that sometimes bad is good. Alice Cooper is perfect for the role. I think this director and Evil Dead's director Sam Raimi are on the same bowling team because it certainly has the Raimi feel...... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the greatest werewolf flick, but it's not terrible. Oh yea, Alice Cooper. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Damn, Cooper has a snoze, all the better to do coke with, my pretty. Alice Cooper vs rednecks vs monster dog in this horrible movie that mostly appeals to rockers and goth crowds. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
