Product Description: A group of friends (Michelle Rodriguez, Taryn Manning, Hill Harper and Oliver Hudson) fly away to a deserted island for the weekend, an island once controlled by a special canine research unit. They soon realize that this beautiful getaway will become their biggest nightmare. Inspired by the horror classics, Cujo and The Birds. The Breed takes you into the jaws of a flesh eating pack of wild dogs, genetically engineered to hunt and kill. Outnumbered and trapped they struggle to outsmart and outrun this terrifying species.
Amazon.com: Wes Craven served as executive producer on this direct-to-video chiller about a group of friends who discover that the remote island they've chosen as a vacation spot is home to a wild pack of attack dogs. After dispatching a sailboater and his bikini-clad girlfriend, the canines (which look more cuddly than ferocious) pick off the interloping friends with all-too-human cunning; the survivors have just enough time to discover that the mutts are the product of military genetic experiments to create unstoppable attack dogs. Director Nick Mastrandrea (a longtime production associate of both Craven and George Romero) lends a professional look to his debut feature, and gets decent performances from his cast (which includes Lost's Michelle Rodriguez, Taryn Manning, and Oliver Hudson), but the script is tired almost from page one, and the resulting action and gore do little to help this indie picture stand out from the rest of the horror crowd. Dog lovers with soft hearts should be forewarned that the CGI stand-ins for the animal actors endure some gruesome abuse in the course of the picture. –-Paul Gaita

Rating: - great movie...................
We enjoyed this movie and has become one of my favorites. It is hard to explain but this is a scary yet feel good movie. The characters keep you interested and entertained. The dogs are extremely cruel which is what was expected. Overall a well put together movie!
Rating: - More fun than Cujo
The island setting for this flick makes for a perfect
setting for this movie. It jumps right into a terrorfest.
The suspense keeps coming, and all those intelligent,
mean, calculating dogs are a formula for fear. And don't
expect a happy ending for this bunch. I think's this
movie has got some bang for the buck. One must remember
that not every movie has to cost $200 million dollars
to be worthwhile.
Rating: - One star is far too much
I have a collection of about l000 movies on dvd. There are excellent movies among them, others are average and still others are poor and boring. "Breed" is just bad, bad, bad... Dogs (more cute than frightening) play with shouting and screaming "acors", following a "story", which never gets exciting. It takes courage, to watch this movie: not because of the horror, but because of its below zero qualities and boring stupidity. I have a collection of about 1000 movies. "Breed" won't make it into my ... Read More
