Another entry in the vast nature-amok horror subgenre of the late '70s, this murky low-budget woofer stars David McCallum as a pontificating college prof who begins to suspect something is amiss when the canine populace of a small college burg begin leaping at their owners' throats with wild abandon. As the professor spouts scientific double-talk in an effort to provide exposition, the locals spout copious amounts of blood, thus sparing audiences their abysmal attempts at acting. Finally, McCallum and his lady friend work up enough sense to pack up and leave before they get snarfed up by marauding packs of feral pups -- ranging from the fierce-looking (Dobermans and German Shepherds) to the downright silly (Poodles and Pekingese). The "surprise" final shot will probably provoke more groans than gasps. Released to theaters as Slaughter. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

    Pretty good flik, with good hypotheses about how the dogs became that way. I think it's just as chilling the fact that every dog, not just mean looking ones in other movies of this type, are in attack mode. And David McCallum in his prime, long hair and beard, is a treat to watch. Also chilling are those "dog calls" in the night. His associate is also good. I've watched the other possessed dog movies and this rates right up there with them. How this differs from them is that they are running wild in the streets rather than on closed sets in the other movies. Pretty good print quality, too.

    It's 70's Cheese ha..Not to be taken seriously these days by any means. I think they were going for serious but the acting was not good and the dog attacks were silly because they were such cute dogs that were obviously trained to attempt to look scary but does not really cut it. Again, remember, it's low budget low tech so don't expect much and you might enjoy the silliness of it. Not rental price worthy, but if you are on a plan to receive movies by mail then go for it.

    DO NOT waste your time on this movie. It is so stupid.....Instead of telling the college kids to stay in their dorms, they are asked to come to a library so they can be told that dogs are attacking. . .Then you have a "fat" guy fall through the glass doors of the library which is how the dogs get in and nobody has sense enough to go into other rooms of the library to get away...... Watch Cujo instead.
