From Amazon.co.uk
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

No need to go into details of the story its all been written before by previous reviewers.I did like this film and remember it is low budjet but you get decent acting and and alot of effort has gone into the dog training which to be honest is not easy.
Some reviewers are just to quick to find fault with everything and when looking at other reviews that they done its clear they like titles that are more rubbish than this.
I like horror movies and this is a break from the stalk and slash movies. All in all well worth a watch.

~ Five teenagers take a vacation on a remote island where brothers, Matt and John, have inherited a cabin. Matt's girlfriend Nicki, Sarah and Noah also accompany them. Before they can get settled in, Sara (Michelle Rodriguez) is bitten by a vicious stray dog. The brothers are immediately prompted by memories of a facility for training dogs somewhere on other side of the island. Fearing the worst - rabies - they head for their sea plane, but the dogs have already set it adrift. In small packs they wait in the surrounding hillside, watching, waiting to attack ... the five friends find themselves fighting a battle for survival against these genetically redesigned and intelligent canine killers ~
From the director of 'Nightmare On Elm Street 1984 [DVD]' and 'Scream [DVD]', 'The Breed' is one of the better films produced by Wes Craven. It is a simple slasher-style flick, well written and directed, with a good cast and a nice little twist at the end. There are plenty of tense moments here also. Apparently they used real dogs for this film, not computer generated hounds.

Not quite a pedigree.....
This is an ok film, more of a thriller than a horror but far from a classic. Perfect renting material but not really one to buy. Read more

It may be time for Wes Craven to retire.
Well, personally I feel that our Wonderful Wes Craven as finally lost it. If this is the standard of film he is bringing to our screens, then I really think he should retire. Read more
