3.0 out of 5 stars Mario Bava takes a little drive in the country 20 Sep 2010
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
NB - This review refers to Anchor Bay's US release, though Amazon have unhelpfully linked the review to foreign editions of the same film as well.

Some films are just born unlucky. Mario Bava's 'lost' 1974 film Rabid Dogs is a classic case in point. Shooting started as A Man and a Boy with Al Lettieri and an extremely low budget: Lettieri dropped out after a week due to 'illness' and the money barely materialised only for the film to never get through post-production when the producer died and the film was seized by creditors for a quarter of a century. When co-star Lea Lander pulled together a deal to get Bava's rough cut restored, the only US deal she could get with it was with producer Alfred Leone, who, in a throwback to the old days when no foreign film could be allowed on US shores untouched, promptly re-edited, rescored and redubbed the film with new dialogue and added stock footage and new scenes shot by the director's son Lamberto Bava 'to complete it the way my old friend wanted it to be seen.' Sure... An attempt to make a more contemporary shocker in a more naturalistic setting as the European horror genre was hitting the skids, it plays a bit like an automotive addition to the Last House On the Left genre as the surviving members of a payroll robbery kidnap a female hostage and, later, a driver rushing his unconscious son to hospital to help them in their getaway. Cue much humiliation, boorish behavior, relentless nihilism and fatal divisions coming to the fore as you wait for the tables to be turned Tall-T style by the 'little man' (Riccardo Cucciolla, literally miniscule whenever seen standing next to the towering George Eastman).

The information on the dvd is completely incorrect. This DVD doesn't have english subtitles at all so you should know german or italian to understand it. There isn't any internet subtitles available that'd be syncronized for the film so it's just a tough job to get them right. It took me quite a while to get the subtitles right and them added to the film.

The picture of the case is correct. It indeed is a german dvd version with german dubbing.

All in all it's a very rare movie and many Mario Bava and old italian film fans may get something out of it. For everyone else this dvd can't be recommended for the lack of subtitles. Video quality is fine, not like VHS this time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Saved by the end 29 Nov 2011
By K. Gordon TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
Note; this US Anchor Bay DVD has two alternate cuts, one finished by
Bava's son, called 'Kidnapped'. But almost all Bava fans and
professional critics prefer the rougher edged, less polished original
;'Rabid Dogs', so that's what I watched.

--vague possible mild spoilers ahead --

It's a film that is saved by the rare truly successful twist ending,
that changes everything you thought you saw. The acting is less than
great, and the film has a definite misogynistic tone (although everyone
in it is pretty awful on the humanity scale).

On the other hand, there's effectively high tension, as 3 murderous
robbers take two innocent people and a baby hostage. Especially
impressive that it never gets talky or visually dull, despite taking
place almost entirely inside a car.

But the over-acting and clunky dubbing (and writing) really hurt. Then
the end came and I was suddenly ready to forgive a lot.
