I can still hear that damn song in my head!
Alice Cooper writes and performs two songs (and two music videos) for this ultra-ridiculous low rent horror film about a dog pack on the prowl. Alice also stars (yet is dubbed), and doesn't have to stretch himself in the role of Vince Raven. Vince is a rock star who returns to his hometown to film one of these videos, and gets caught up in the local folklore regarding werewolves, and the legacy of his father getting killed by a vengeful mob.
All you really need to know about "Monster Dog" is that it was written and directed by Claudio Fragasso, the same fellow who brought all of us "Troll 2".
Forewarned is forearmed.
"Monster Dog" is an incredibly awful attempt at horror, despite Fragassos' best efforts to create atmosphere, with liberal use of fog. But it works precisely because it's so bad. It generates some real honest to God laughs with its crummy acting and its crummy dialogue. The plot is utter nonsense. The effects (by Carlo De Marchis) are very, very bad. So bad viewers will be busting a gut when they see the "monster dog" of the title. The songs are catchy, and the women are all attractive.
People who love a "good" bad movie will be entertained. Alices' fans will have a head start.
