Dogman is a hyper low budget horror film despite being labelled a thriller.
It tells the story of a goofy middle aged man who discovers that there is something living in the local woods and it's not friendly.
Initially I thought it was a comedy, it was certainly written that way and the lead though competent would be better suited to that genre.
Due to the lack of budget the creature is mostly left up to your imagination. This rarely works and Dogman demonstrates exactly why.
Most of the cast are better than you'd expect as is the entire films cinematography but sadly by about a third of the way through the writing dips to painful levels.
There is something here and it's not devoid of quality, but the whole package just isn't enjoyable.
The Good:
Starts solidly enough
Considerably better cinematography than you'd expect
Competent little cast
The Bad:
Trails off into mediocrity
Lack of budget shows and hurts the film
The two kids were terrible
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
We need a comedy werewolf movie!
