Storyline

On the quiet campus of the remotely-located SouthwesternUniversity, something strange is happening; all of the dogs in the area, once loyal, gentle pets, are now banding together in wild, feral packs and hunting down their former masters. Could the strange transformation have anything to do with the secret government experiements being conducted in the school's physics laboratory? More importantly, can the dogs be stopped before it's too late?

User Reviews

memories...

So I was 13 when the movie came out and at that time lived in bonita and my father worked at vice president at southwestern community colleage where a lot of the movie was shot, and we had friends who lived in a new condo complex on otay lakes road between the junior high and senior high where some of the film was also shot. back in 1976 bonita and the area around southwestern looked VERY different than today. back then there were hardly any homes once you went beyong the college. I think somehow I saw the film even though I was only 13 and my guess it was rated R? I'd be curious to hear from others who lived in bonita or chula vista at that time. there was someone who also had a user review who said he was a student at the time at southwestern and he and friends were extras in the film.
