Man's Best Friend (1993)

- written May 21, 2009

Summary: A genetically mutated dog escapes from the lab of Dr. Jarret and ends up at the home of news reporter/animal rights advocate Lori Tanner. The dog is endowed with intelligence and other special abilities but soon loses control on its emotions and wants to kill everyone!           Overall: The movie just isn’t believable and frankly just blows your mind with its ridiculous story. Everyone the dog comes into contact with it just manages (by chance?) to piss the dog off and ends up dying! The dog also seems to have super human abilities and frankly it’s the sorta thing that when you watch it, you just roll your eyes, search for the remote and hope it ends soon. Not worth your time because it strains brain cells to attempt to justify the unbelievable things this dog is able to do. On the only positive side, at least we have a nice film trying to show dangers and inhumanity of torture and experimenting on animals.           Comparison: Cujo meets Monkey Shines
