A boy takes in a stray dog, later finding out that its an ultra-intelligent runaway from a genetic research lab. Unknow to him, the dog is being stalked by another escaped creature thats not quite so friendly.
Rating:6/10 This movie was alright. I did not read the book, so I really can't compare it to the source material, but this wasn't too bad. I'm not sure if I liked Corey Haim as the lead or not. He just doesn't seem to fit the role he played sometimes. Micheal Ironside though was kind of cool, as was his character, which kind of caught me off guard half way through the movie. This didn't have that much tension though for a horror movie. The only time I felt any tension was when the three boys on the bikes were being chased by the creature. I don't know if you would recognize him, but one of the boys on the bikes was Jason Priestley. They sure wore their hair kind of funny though. I suppose I shouldn't talk, especially if you have seen mine. This was kind of entertaining, though predictable.
