The Breed is not going to break any new horror or killer dog subgenre standards. As it stands, it is an acceptable time killer that won't challenge or offend.

So-bad-it’s-actually-quite-good teen scream from horror master Wes Craven.
04/27/07
The script is at times, laughable, and generally it's the four-legged actors putting in the best performances.
04/27/07
There hasn’t been a decent killer dog movie since 1983’s Cujo and The Breed doesn’t break the run.
04/27/07
Despite the presence of Wes Craven as a producer, this is really a pretty unscary effort.
04/27/07
Top CriticA lightweight teen horror that only breaks from the formula when it comes to the less-than-terrifying predator.
04/27/07
Top CriticDon't go down to the basement, you idiot, there's a slavering hound waiting to attack you.
04/27/07
The Breed is all bite.

Top CriticAll the stunt work involving the dogs is quite good.
02/12/08
Characters so obnoxious you literally will them to die.
04/27/07
A bargain basement effort that’s about as scary as a rabbit with an ingrown toenail.
04/27/07
A mongrel killer-dog movie that takes us back to ‘Cujo’ territory, where Man’s Best Friend turns into his most ferocious enemy.
04/27/07
Dogs swimming aren't scary.
