Wonderful movie, 22 September 2000
10/10
Author: jyarza (jyarza@latinmail.com) from Torreon, Mexico

Oh, I loved this movie from the beginning to the end! The dog was lovable! Before he became a killer, of course. I began hating him when he ate the cat because I love cats. The ending was very exciting... Well, actually, the whole movie was, but specially the ending.
