Summary: A group of friends visit an exotic, isolated island for a relaxing holiday. However, their peace is threatened by a seemingly abandoned dog-training facility also on the island.

A group of friends visit an exotic, isolated island for a relaxing holiday. However, their peace is threatened by a seemingly abandoned dog-training facility also on the island. The friends, comprised of John, his brother Matt, Nicki, Sara, and Noah, fly into the island on a seaplane with the sole aim of enjoying themselves. This is disrupted when Sara is bitten by a dog. Matt tells Nicki that there had been reports that the dog-training facility on the island had been forced to shut down a year previously due to an outbreak of a disease and all the dogs were put down. The group soon find this not to be the case and are quickly besieged by aggressive dogs, leaving them having to devise a plan to escape the island with their lives. Nicholas Mastandrea makes his directorial debut with this slick but terrifying offering. Michelle Rodriguez, who plays Nicki, athletically attempts to evade the snarling dogs, something she excelled at in RESIDENT EVIL. Legendary horror maestro Wes Craven produced the film.

Wes Craven served as executive producer on this direct-to-video chiller about a group of friends who discover that the remote island they've chosen as a vacation spot is home to a wild pack of attack dogs. After dispatching a sailboater and his bikini-clad girlfriend, the canines (which look more cuddly than ferocious) pick off the interloping friends with all-too-human cunning; the survivors have just enough time to discover that the mutts are the product of military genetic experiments to create unstoppable attack dogs. Director Nick Mastrandrea (a longtime production associate of both Craven and George Romero) lends a professional look to his debut feature, and gets decent performances from his cast (which includes Lost's Michelle Rodriguez, Taryn Manning, and Oliver Hudson), but the script is tired almost from page one, and the resulting action and gore do little to help this indie picture stand out from the rest of the horror crowd. Dog lovers with soft hearts should be forewarned that the CGI stand-ins for the animal actors endure some gruesome abuse in the course of the picture. –-Paul Gaita, Amazon.com
