Quotes

Vincent Raven: Joss. I can hardly remember his face. He was already old when I left. The kids used to rib him about the way he shook all the time. They were always asking him to make us malts.

User Reviews

A rock singer returns to his home town to shoot a music video, and winds up being chased by killer dogs and a werewolf creature.

Monster Dog was Atmospheric,creepy, and contained some good claustrophobic settings. The music score was also scary, and the pace was excellent. Never boring, and fun to watch. Check it out on a rainy day.
