The Breed – Blutige Meute (2006)

The Breed – Blutige Meute: Directed by Nicholas Mastandrea. With Michelle Rodriguez, Oliver Hudson, Taryn Manning, Eric Lively. A group of five college kids are forced to match wits with unwelcoming residents when they fly to a “deserted” island for a party weekend.

“A bunch of undergrads (played by 30 and 40somethings–no joke!) take their jet to an abandoned island for a vacation. Because undergrads do that? They get attacked by wild dogs that turn out to be genetically engineered killers. Scary! History has taught me to stay away from anything labeled u0026quot;Wes Craven Presents,u0026quot; but I decided to check this out because how bad could a movie starring Michelle Rodriguez vs Killer Dogs be? Rodriguez isnu0026#39;t the best actress, but I always enjoy seeing her one-note tough-girl shtick in movies or TV (long live Ana Lucia!) And she does her own stunts in this! Thereu0026#39;s no CGI, which is commendable, though Iu0026#39;m not entirely sure how I feel about a large number of dogs being trained to attack for the sake of a dumb horror movie. And this is, indeed, a dumb horror movie. All the clichés are intact, the writing is awful, and thereu0026#39;s even a dumb subplot about brotherly love. Or something. Taryn Manning is cast as the u0026quot;hottieu0026quot; of the group, though she looks washed-up and talks like she smokes six packs a day. Thereu0026#39;s an interesting subplot with her character that would have made the movie more interesting had it been expanded upon. This is enjoyable for what it is, but itu0026#39;s nothing special.”
