Consensus: An offbeat, eccentric black comedy, A Boy and His Dog features strong dialogue and an oddball vision of the future.

His telepathic dog, Blood (Tim McIntire) depends on Vic for food, but Vic needs Blood to find him something much more scarce: female companionship. The bedraggled duo eventually discover an underground society of survivors, called "Down Under," where they have reproduced the look of pre-apocalypse Americana but with frighteningly totalitarian politics. A cult black comedy based on the novella by Harlan Ellison. [More]

Reviews for A Boy and His Dog
The highlight of this DVD is its feature commentary with director L.Q. Jones, critic Charles Champlin, and John Arthur Morrill, the film’s director of photography.
If you already own this movie on video tape, I have only one thing to say for your old VHS copy: burn, baby, burn!
Mostly just a set up to a misogynistic reverse Black Widow joke. Mostly.
