It's difficult to feel strongly about The Breed. It's bad but not offensively awful, just trite and cheap.
Teens face a pack of murderous dogs. Kind of a barrel-scraper as far as monster movie premises get, but I'm giving The Breed a higher vote than deserved for the unintentional guffaws it provides. First, the dogs jumping on-screen out of nowhere and knocking someone off (this happen a lot but it's hilarious every time). Then, a slow-motion sequence in which one of the sketchily developed heroes solemnly shoots an arrow to save Michelle Rodriguez, but instead of the dog he pierces her leg. It's filmed as a dramatic moment, but I was howling with laughter - it reminds me of the chicken/arrow scene from Hot Shots Deux.
And there is something amusing in the sight of this bunch of dogs eagerly running around as an ominous music attempts to create a sinister atmosphere; I couldn't help thinking of trainers dangling cookies just outside the frame.
5/10
