Atomic Dog

The dogs were not presented as being vicious naturally but by genetic malfunction. The villains in my estimation were the humans who ran the defective Atomic Power Plant and then abandoned it. They took no safety precautions causing a hazard to anyone who came in contact with the Plant. In this case, the innocent dogs were the victims of radiation poisoning. In my opinion, besides family entertainment, this movie also makes a social commentary.

The only argument for anti-movie fans to use is the inherent crud evident in such films as "Atomic Dog". Never has a more putrid slice of film made it to video, and we see why: a horrible story, surrounded by meaningless characters, an insanely predictable plot, and Christ, some of the worst camera work I have personally ever witnessed. To see this move is a crime; do yourself a favor and look at a brick for 90 minutes...its better than this.

Uh, no. This is THE worst movie ever made. Why did they bother? I thought it was gonna be one of those silly cheesy movies, but it wasn't. It actually tried to be a serious movie. God awful. I can't believe I watched the whole thing.

Isabella Hofmann, Katie Stuart, & the jacket I bought at the Wardrobe Sale were the only bright spots in this bland flick filled with crazy camera angles & erratic editing; puppies grew up unbelievably fast & seemed to change breeds.

A dog is irradiated and goes on a rampage of violence in this ultra-silly children's horror flick, directed by a man who should know better: Brian Trenchard-Smith. Trenchard-Smith is a guy responsible churning out some fantastic little B-movies old (TURKEY SHOOT) and new (AZTEC REX), but he must have really been slumming it to put his name to this particular outing.

This Z-grade flick plays out as a child-friendly version of the Stephen King thriller CUJO, as a lovable dog goes on a PG-rated orgy of violence. The script and performances are overall poor, as are the limited special effects. The decision to give the dog a kind of PREDATOR vision is particularly silly although it did have me laughing. There are lots of other dogs in the film too, and many of them are well trained, so if you're a dog lover (like myself) you might enjoy it a little. It's still an awful film, though.
