Horror On The Lens: Dogs (dir by Burt Brinckerhoff)


dogs

Today’s horror film comes to use from 1976.  In Dogs, man’s best friend decides to terrorize an isolated college campus and the fate of the student body is in the hands of two professors (bearded David McCallum and non-bearded George Wyner).

In many ways, Dogs is a pretty basic revenge-of-nature film but it still made me nervous when I watched it on YouTube.  As our regular readers may know, I used to be terrified of dogs.  In just the past few years, I’ve managed to overcome a lot of my phobia but, on the whole, dogs still make me nervous.  And this movie definitely played on those nerves!

Interesting note: according to the trivia section over at the imdb, Dogs was originally going to be followed up by a sequel called Cats.  However, Dogs failed at the box office and, as a results, Cats was cancelled.
