The dog?!?!

I am getting ready to see Boo tomarrow. Does this movie also have a dog get eaten in it? LOL. I love animals, but still can't help but laugh at dogs getting eaten in every single horror film. Why can't these directors put a little creativity in there movies?!

So many people hate my guts for always asking why an animal ( usually a dog ) has to be put in jeopardy or harmed in every gdamned movie that features an animal. It is always explained away by apologists as a major plot point and is a brilliant, amazingly creative effect by the writer or director, blah blah blah, and it is always just a stupid ploy that brings attention to what would usually be an otherwise forgettable movie.
I did have to amend my reply here as to the Hills Have Eyes, both original and remake - that was one of a very few examples where the animal getting hurt not only added to the story but its death was also avenged. In that case, it wasn't just some stupid shock tactic or a needless attempt to explain a character's motivation.

I said the same thing: "If this dog bites it, I'm not watching this trash."

Suffice to say, by 25 minutes or so into the Sci-Fi channel airing, I'm watching "The Andy Griffith Show".

I think it's not only awful, but also a cheap tactic to get us, the viewer, to care about whatever situation these lame characters find themselves in.

I couldn't care less if the "college kids" survived, but the dog died, so the hell with the whole thing.

Signature? Huh? Oh damn...

I am a thread-killing machine, kids.

Won't happen my cats are trained killers and can defend themselves.

I avoid any movie where an animal is armed or die either be it cats , dogs or anything else.

Animal cruelty in horror movie is stupid leave em out of that.
