NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
jmbwithcats Just watched this and it was pretty enjoyable. Great beginning, and moves into daylight with some beautiful panoramic shots of the landscape. I enjoyed the directing and camera work a lot. Some pretty sweet special effects as well. Also I found the characters to be more interesting then I had feared.A Story of a man, Dante and his girlfriend are born in the lap of luxury, playing real life role playing game called Infilitration. A dangerous game of chance which goes terribly wrong when they are caught by Immigration who imprison him, and rape his girlfriend. Now after a escape in the highlands, Dante must travel endless miles through dangerous Mexico with a enhanced attack dog on his trail, to return to his true love.Good story, acting, dialog, nice use of flashbacks, music, and directing. Definitely better then I had anticipated. It made me a bit more hopeful for the Director, after all I felt Darkness was terrible.
Oddark123 Rottweiler is a great movie that a lot of people just can't seem to appreciate for it's feel. It is a movie piece and not just bland horror. The film follows a prisoner who has escaped and must find his lost lover. He is also being chased by a rottweiler who is essentially a cyborg. As we go further on we get glimpses into the past. The movie puts out a lot of odd stuff, that while people who don't like to think with there movies will find it boring, people should be drawn in by just where is this going. In the end we get even more confused by what happens when Dante reaches the town and then comes the big reveal as to what exactly happened to get us to where we are. The reveal makes the movie all come together and comes together as a piece. Great movie and I would recommend it to people who really want something good.If you want some gory disgrace of a horror film, not here If you want something mainstream box office style, not here If you want a good piece to sit down and watch (maybe a few times) then here it is, see Rottweiler.
rixrex 'Relatively speaking' means in comparison to all of the films he's directed. Yuzna is not a seminal horror film director but he does have a certain style and following, and is not merely a hack. For example, a few of his films can stand up with seminal horror directors such as Tobe Hooper, John Carpenter, and George Romero, and ROTTWEILER is one that can.It's not a straight-out, routinely linear-plotted opus, but rather asks the viewer to follow a storyline that jumps through past and present. There is a purpose for this, that mostly being to maintain an intrigue about how the events leading to the chase of the bionic rottweiler and the hunted man came to be, and how the rottweiler itself became a killing machine.There are also plot points that need the viewer to exercise some mental abilities to follow, and in doing so reward the viewer with a more inclusive experience rather than that of being a 'couch potato' merely as a recipient of programmed emotional effects. These are the folks who complained that they couldn't understand what was going on.As a point of example for this, it's shown in subtle ways that the bionic rottweiler tracks the hunted man by his scent and the scent of his blood. Anyone who gets this scent on them becomes a victim as well, or if they are between the dog and the man. Those who are not do not get attacked. But the viewers who are looking only for simple plot devices and completely explained maneuvers won't get these subtleties.This is Yuzna's most interesting horror film to date and the most enjoyable for me, and as I feel it is his best so far, I've called it his masterpiece. Plus it does have the gore that we've come to expect from him.
raven_1-1 This film is so dreadful that it is......dreadful. It says something when a dog out acts the rest of the cast. Basically, in 2018, a not-very-bright-or-quick American prisoner named Dante escapes from a Spanish prison camp and is pursued by the indestructible Terminator of the canine world; the eponymous Rottweiler, all metal bones and gnashing teeth. Helicopters also search for him but he hides behind bushes - apparently Infra-Red is a forgotten science by 2018! Oh yes, he is also searching for his ex-girlfriend whilst suffering from memory loss - surely this requires a brain? The acting is simply awful and consists of our hero stumbling around and tripping over every twig, stone or dust particle around. At one point he manages to loose his clothes in the best tradition of the incompetent hero; leaving his gun & clothes 100 yards from where he is naked in the river, allowing the canine jack-the-ripper to get the drop on him! Later he stumbles naked into a farm inhabited by a mother and her little girl. After Dante has a spot of sex with the mother and acquires some trousers, the dog breaks into the house and the trio escape through a window followed closely by the dog; the mother/daughter run towards a cellar that is at least a 100 yards from the house whilst Dante moves 5 yards down a slight slope in the opposite direction expecting the dog to follow him. Instead the dog follows the mother and daughter and catches them at the cellar entrance where it kills the mother after a struggle. Whilst all this is drama is happening, Dante is still stumbling the 5 yards back up the slope!Later, stumbling weakly through a red light district and nursing an injured arm, he still manages to best a perfectly able and fit drugs pusher and five minutes later, after stumbling weakly into an open area and collapsing, learns the fate of his girlfriend and sprints and leaps onto a helicopter that is taking off and causes it to crash and explode with the pooch inside. Apparently, one year before, he allowed the rottweiler to rip apart his screaming girlfriend whilst he stood 5 or 6 paces away wondering what to do. After she was dead he leaped into action and bashed the dog around the head with a short metal pipe. Fast forwarding to the helicopter crash, the rotty's metal skeleton emerges from the blaze for the final showdown.This film is truly terrible; weak script, incompetent direction and acting.I'm just about to watch 'Dust Devil' on Sky's ZoneHorror - it surely cannot be worse......
