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.

Reviews for The Breed
A mongrel killer-dog movie that takes us back to ‘Cujo’ territory, where Man’s Best Friend turns into his most ferocious enemy.
Despite the presence of Wes Craven as a producer, this is really a pretty unscary effort.
Don't go down to the basement, you idiot, there's a slavering hound waiting to attack you.
A bargain basement effort that’s about as scary as a rabbit with an ingrown toenail.
A lightweight teen horror that only breaks from the formula when it comes to the less-than-terrifying predator.
So-bad-it’s-actually-quite-good teen scream from horror master Wes Craven.
The script is at times, laughable, and generally it's the four-legged actors putting in the best performances.
There hasn’t been a decent killer dog movie since 1983’s Cujo and The Breed doesn’t break the run.
