Description

The Rottweiler was bred to kill. Raised with cruel discipline, trained to terrorize chain-gang prisoners with steel incisors implanted into its jaw, the Rottweiler was allowed to taste the fresh kill of attempted escapees after hunting them down. Imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, Dante managed to escape the prison walls, only to feel the Rottweiler's hungry eyes upon him….

Bad dog...*BAM!*.......2006-04-24

"Rottweiler" is terrible. There's no way getting around it. Directing-wise, it REALLY tries to be artsy. There's gratuitous amounts of slow-motion, Rottweiler-vision, and weird angles. To top it off, the story is not told in your typical narrative. It occasionalyl jumps from one point to another. While I wasn't entirely lost as to what was going on, it was just really bizarre for this type of movie. It worked with "Reservoir Dogs" because it was structured and helped the story. Here it's just ridiculous.

The other problem is the Rottweiler "monster" that is dispatched to kill our hero once he escapes from the prison. Domestic pets becoming monsters has always been a tricky matter, because if done wrong they can turn the film into an unintentional comedy. Look at any horror movie that has tried making domestic cats scary and you'll see what I mean. Dogs are easier, and certainly Rottweilers (along with Doberman Pinchers) are notoriously nasty dogs. However, this Rottweiler was not as convincing. First, it has weird patches of fur taped to it, and has more of a look of "Ooh, is that a bone?" than "Must kill." The puppet for close-ups is terrible - what does it look like? Imagine Triumph the Comic Dog without the cigar and with blue eyes. I am not kidding. Whenever I saw it I expected it to say, "What a great script...FOR ME TO POOP ON!"

Another matter I have to discuss is our hero. He gets a lot of innocent people killed in his stupidity. The Rottweiler follows him, and he knows its following him, and doesn't seem to mind the innocent people murdered as a result. Take, for example, the mother and daughter he runs across. He could have told them about the dog, but instead doesn't, getting their two pet dogs killed and their house under attack. Then when the mother fires a rifle and plugs a round into the Rottweiler through the front door. The hero says, "Give me the gun! Trust me!" He then - get this - sticks it through the bullet hole! Any one who has seen a Bugs Bunny cartoon knows this is a no-no. As you might suspect, the Rottweiler grabs the barrel of the gun, pulls it out, and destroys it. What does this result in? The Rottweiler chases them outside and the mother has to sacrifice herself to save her daughter. The daughter gets to watch as the Rottweiler tears her mother to shreds: tears fall down her cheeks, she cries out her mother's name as blood drips onto her face...and all because the guy said, "Trust me!" when the mother seemed perfectly capable handling the rifle.

Our hero, ladies and gentlemen...

So do not see it. Go to your adoption center and get a real dog. Not a Rottweiler, get a Great Dane. They're as faithful as German Shepherds, but without the separation anxiety.

Woof!!.......2006-02-19

"Rottweiler" is just plain bad. It features plenty of no-name actors and actresses and a cyborg mutt with a really bad attitude. It takes place in the near future somewhere in Spain. As we watch the story unfold, we learn that our hero, Dante, has been thrown into a futuristic prison for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He and his girlfriend, Ula, are playing a deadly game known as "Infiltration," in which rich kids scamper across the world and try to get away with big capers. Well, their luck runs out in Spain, and Ula is forced to do a deed to get them released from prison. Naturally, things don't go quite as planned and Dante is left to attempt an escape with a cellmate. The prison's guards sick "Rottweiler" on them and he quickly dispatches Dante's mate. Dante then runs off into the wilderness only to be captured a few days later. He escapes again, but does so by killing the rottweiler's owner. Not a good idea.

The cyborg pooch goes ballistic, killing any and everything in sight while he attempts to catch Dante and exact his revenge. Sounds decent, right? The truth is that this story is flat from the opening credits. Dante isn't a likeable guy, the rott seems terribly vicious when it catches anybody but Dante, who manages to escape rather easily.

The dog looks pretty good considering the shoestring budget this snore-inducer was made on. However, the director takes a little too much artistic license with flashback sequences and makes it rather hard to understand exactly what is going on. Also, the ending is nothing short of dull, making me wonder why I wasted so much time on this flick.

As B-flicks go, this one includes plenty of nudity (and a little bit too much in one sequence). It's also got a reasonable amount of gore, not to mention one rather violent sequence that lets us see a young child witness her own mother's death. It isn't a funny B-movie, and it isn't even a serious B-flick. It's just a mush of gore, nudity, and violence that leads nowhere in the end.

Two stars are given for the dog in this flick. He actually looks pretty convincing through most of the film. However, I would only rent this flick if I were into cheesy B-horror. If you don't fall into that category, I'd skip this snoozer altogether.

Not recommended.

This may very well be the dumbest movie............ ever!!!.......2005-12-02

It's kinda like The Ring movie Ya know if you watch it youll die.Well you wont die from watching it but I garinty you will become dumber....see I cant even spell anymore!!I have been raeding encyclopedia's like crazy and I still can't Un-dumb myself.

I would rather have someone kick my face into a running lawnmower blade than EVER watch this movie again.

Screw war.We could take over the planet in a matter of months if we flooded other countries with this movie.They would become so dumb they would forget they hated us and would have no clue how to operate any weopon system what so ever.

when I am on my death bed the thing I will remember most is the whole 1 1/2 hrs of life I lost watching this movie that I will never get back!! GOD please forgive my soul for using the precious gift of time to watch something so..so.....so.....so......so .......dumb!!

Calling this movie bad is an insult to bad movies........2005-09-16

Selecting to view the film, Rottweiler, as it features a half cyborg killer dog in it may reflect poorly on my taste in films. Be that as it may, Rottweiler makes a key mistake in my opinion by focusing on the humans in the film. It is set in the future and the Spanish prisons apparently have cyborg hunter dogs as part of their retrieval teams for escapees. Rather than follow the hapless "Dante" on his often al fresco journey across Spain, featuring incomprehensible flashbacks and odd one dimensional characters, why not more of an examination of the dog? The movie is titled Rottweiler. It might be interesting to know how the dog was created or changed. The runtime says 97 minutes but it feels much longer. Go with "Man's Best Friend" or "Cujo" if you want psycho dogs. A thoroughly disappointing effort.

One of the worst films...it's an insult to the dog to have to be in it!.......2005-08-23

I watched this with my dad the other night. This movie is so stupid, no words can describe it. The plot is worthless and has no point. It doesn't fully explain what's really going on. I should have relized the movie was going to be horrible when it's only 10 minutes in and two people have died and he's already escaped. They also did a horrible attempt on making the dog look real. In about half the movie, it's a real dog but when it's not, it looks so fake it's unbelievable. Besides, a lot fo the people in this movie have no common sense at all. It's a good idea to create a vicious half dog and half robot pooch that's used to track down prison escapees but come on! This movie? This is the best you can do?
I think the movie deserves only one star but I gave it an extra one because the dog (when it's a real dog) is awesome! I love the rottie's ice blue eyes.

nothing extraordinary.......2007-05-07

I bought this video and the same video for the German Shepherd puppy and guess what? The were identical outside of the pople talking, the dogs in the video and the breed history of the dog. VERY generic. Breed history is interesting but was still not any more informative than an internet search or a short book.

I fell in love with a video nasty..........2006-02-09

As the first ultra-rare slasher obscurity dredged up from a dusty video shelf somewhere in Tulsa and slapped onto DVD, Spine is a perfect candidate. It exposes the limitations and singular successes of the genre. The DVD transfer makes the camcorder-shot "film" look...well, like a better-than-average home video. Your acting on a home video, however, surpasses the thespians in Spine. To be fair, it appears to have been made by friends on a weekend's worth of beer money. The killer (there's no fundamental mystery as to his identity, so don't fret) is the mirror universe version of the mighty Asbestos Felt from Killing Spree. Any semblance of a plot is standard slasher fare. Then again, anyone who glimpses the astounding poverty row cover will have no illusions about "quality". As a film, Spine is either a one or a five, depending wholly on your sense of humor and/or level of intoxication.
Also, as a harbinger of even more obscure releases...here's hoping for Black Devil Doll From Hell, 555, It Came, and The Bloody Video Horror That Made Me Puke On My Aunt Gertrude to be released shortly. Everyone who wants that tingle of owning a movie that looks so godawful you are compelled by the cheese of it should have Spine in their home.
Let it babysit your children.
