A long time ago in a post I don't remember I talked about wanting to watch animal attack movies, and I name dropped wanting to see this movie. I never watched it. Til now.
I put this on during a rather slow day at work and watched animals killing people while I was waiting for something to do. Friends, this is what I do with my time.
Dogs stars David McCallum, Linda Gray and George Wyner. Dogs is a couple years after Jaws, and likely about 20th in line to capitalize on the animal attack idea after Jaws, and basically follows a group of peeps in a small town where due to unknown reasons the dogs start to attack and kill people.
This movie is pretty much whatever. The Dogs are made to look ok, but you can tell its tricky camera editing and a few highly trained dogs and handlers. The rest is mild tension and character shit, as random Scottish cop David McCallum dresses in all denim and wanders around this town.
I mean, it's fine. Ebert gave it zero stars. I appreciate that. But it's not like it's rewriting the book on a bad film, it's just dull and uninspired. It can at least have a 1.5 though.
