Monster Dog is a great horror treat for anyone who is a true horror fan. Alice Cooper gives a great performance as Vince Raven. Victoria Vera stood tall, as well, playing the girlfriend of Vince. Monster Dog had a great story to it. It also has 2 previously unreleased songs by Alice entitled, "Identity Crisises" and "See Me In The Mirror." This movie was only supposed to be seen in the Philippines, as was told to Alice, but it found its way into every video store from coast to coast. I'm sure glad it made it to the USA. It is a real treat for fans of Alice everywhere. I spent 15 long years trying to find this movie. Only a best friend of mine and myself remembered it. I finally came across it at a newly opened local video store. I got lucky enough to be able to buy it off of them. This goes to show you that if you never give up hoping to find something you know exist, you'll one day find it.
Gonna start with saying this: Yes, it IS sad that Alice Cooper's voice is dubbed over, BUT they chose a good voice and it actually fits pretty good.
I watched this movie yesterday and I was surprised, didn't expect it to be that good. Alice Cooper played the role good as hell, and the feel of the movie reminded me of movies I watched growing up. It's pretty easy to tell that it's an Italian director, but that's not bad, cause they can usually make a movie visual in a way that Americans can't.
The werewolf-look might not be the best around, but they did what they could with what they had. By showing it as little as possible, but still showing it, they made it seem like it looked cooler than it probably did.
I'm a huge werewolf fan, a 80's horror fan, Alice Cooper fan, gore fan, and a fan of a lot of other stuff in this film, and I wasn't let down. (Don't let the "gore fan" part trick you though, it's not a gory movie, but it has a couple of blood scenes) 7.5/10 (Giving it 8 on the vote above)

In continuing to review werewolf movies in chronological order, here's another obscure one from 1984 starring rocker Alice Cooper. He plays a rock star coming to his childhood home in order to shoot a music video with his crew with his girlfriend among them. He has a secret concerning his family and there are many dogs around the place that aren't very welcoming. I'll stop there and just say that I enjoyed this pretty much although the story didn't always make sense much of the time. And since this was an Italian production, all the voices were dubbed for the English-language version including Cooper's. His own voice is present during his two musical sequences which were perhaps the most entertaining parts of the film. No great shakes but Monster Dog, or Leviatan, is worth a look especially for Alice Cooper fans.
Monster Dog (1984)
** (out of 4)
Alice Cooper plays the leader of a rock group who takes his band back to his hometown to shoot a new music video. Once there the group learns that the town is under attack by some mysterious murdering dogs but could it really be a werewolf? This Spanish production is also known as Leviatan and believe it or not the thing isn't too bad if you're a fan of Cooper's. The bad thing is that Cooper didn't get to dub his own voice so you have to hear someone else talking in his place but we do get a new Cooper song, which remained unavailable until a few years ago. The movie is from director Fragasso who is best known for co-directing several Italian films with the legendary Bruno Mattei including Hell of the Living Dead, Zombi 3 and Troll 2. All of those films have a notorious reputation so it's really shocking that this movie didn't turn out worst. The actual attacks are pretty lame and the blood level is rather low but the mystery is somewhat well handled and God knows this is certainly far from the worst werewolf film. I'm not sure why this title was selected for the American release unless the buyers only watched the opening twenty-minutes and actually thought the dogs were the big story as the werewolf part doesn't kick in until later in the film. Cooper turns in a decent performance but he's always been rather entertaining when appearing in films or doing his act on stage. The supporting players are all rather weak but no worse than what we normally see in a movie like this. Again, this is no lost masterpiece but fans of Cooper's should get a few kicks out of it.

One of the BEST--BAD movies of all times: Bad acting (except Cooper), bad script and BAD effects. The good news: It's an excellent movie to watch on a rainy afternoon and throw popcorn at the screen. The plot is predictable, but still a fun romp. The film features 2 songs that were unreleased until 1999 -- a nice musical treat. The character of "Vincent" (wonder where they came up with that name) is perfect for Cooper: we almost believe that he could be like this in "real life." Personally, I appreciated Cooper's career choice to stay in music, however, the movie gave him an outlet to stretch his acting creativity beyond Shock-Rock Theater. If Mr. Cooper made another movie, I'd pay 8 bucks to see it. Even if it were as bad as this one.
