Piece of crap!!!!!!!!!!


I saw this for the first time last night and I never wanna see this trash ever again!!!! The acting was terrible, why would Alice Cooper subject himself into doing this is beyond me. Special FX, storyline, everything about it was just...............well let's just say its 80 mins of my life I'll sure as hell will never get back! Ever!!!

I enjoyed it, own it on DVD, and watching it right now :)

I was around when this flick hit the video-rental stores back way when.... 1984?
It was a gem because of Alice Cooper being in it..... A big deal for us Heavy Metal fans. Mr. Alice is no actor, but the atmosphere is what is great.... And looking at Victoria Vera is always a plus..... OMG what a piece of good-looking woman was she.

Alice has said numerous times that he starred in the film on the proviso that it would never be released outside of Spain... and five minutes later, it was on video shelves worldwide. And it certainly doesn't help matters that the only time we hear his actual voice is during the two songs.

The FX were a disappointment not only to viewers, but also to the filmmakers, who envisioned better but did what they could with what they had. The gore's actually pretty good, but the titular Monster Dog is downright silly.

As for the storyline, the filmmakers are Italian, and Italian cinema is pretty notorious for style-over-substance. Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci are both highly-acclaimed Italian horror directors renowned for their bold visuals - but the plots of their films are similarly lacking. "See Me in the Mirror" and "Identity Crisises" were both beautifully staged and could have easily aired on MTV back in the day... if there was an accompanying album.

It should be noted that the same husband/wife team behind this went on to make "Troll 2," which has been christened the "Best Worst Movie." And for anyone familiar with that film, the sheer idiocy of this one ought to make more sense.
