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.

Despite the presence of Wes Craven as a producer, this is really a pretty unscary effort.

A lightweight teen horror that only breaks from the formula when it comes to the less-than-terrifying predator.

Don't go down to the basement, you idiot, there's a slavering hound waiting to attack you.

All the stunt work involving the dogs is quite good.

A bargain basement effort that’s about as scary as a rabbit with an ingrown toenail.

A mongrel killer-dog movie that takes us back to ‘Cujo’ territory, where Man’s Best Friend turns into his most ferocious enemy.

Dogs swimming aren't scary.

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.
