Using Old School horror elements as we've seen in previous killer animal films such as Cujo and Man's Best Friend, The Breed is a decent B movie. The film doesn't really have a good cast, but they do their best considering that the script is so cliché. The ideas expressed in this film have been done before, done better
too. The Breed is not that horrifying, but it does manage a few jolts. The concept of this film isn't anything great, but it works well enough to entertain you. The Breed is yet another nature gone awry film, and it doesn't try to shy away from that point whatsoever. The film is entertaining, but it lacks any real effective terror that has made horror films of the same style so chilling. Fact is, is that the films formula works, but not well enough to truly be memorable. The film is predictable, and you know right from the start how this one will end. As far as the film is concerned, the film works well enough considering its small budget, and not so good cast. At least you don't end caring for them, because after all they lack any real acting talent. In the end, this is a decent film with a pretty entertaining story, despite the fact that it borrows from many other films of this caliber. I liked it enough considering that the plot or acting isn't that great in the first place. The Breed is a good enough B movie, but nothing ever good.
