This 1988 sci-fi/horror film stars Corey Haim, Michael Ironside, Lala Sloatman and Barbara Williams based on the novel. The late, Haim (The Lost Boys) plays teen, Travis who finds a Golden Retriever, canine hiding in his truck. He discovers that's it's part of a scientific project and it's counterpart is a deadly, creature that kills anything or anyone coming into contact with it. Ironside (Scanners) plays government assassin, Lem, Sloatman plays Travis' girlfriend, Tracey and Williams plays Travis' mom,
Nora. This isn't a bad flick with some creepy moments, Haim is good in it and Ironside plays a good villain as usual. Haim also reunited with both women in later films. If you're into creature features, give this one a try at
least once.
