Movie Info

Though not actually a film addressing the evil lure of cream-filled chocolate cakes, this amusingly cheesy made-for-TV opus from director Curtis Harrington pits a relatively normal suburban family against a slavering, demonically-possessed German shepherd whose hunger for human souls far exceeds that of the normal household pet. Although not above resorting to the usual throat-maulings, the satanic psycho-pup's preferred method of attack is to supernaturally cause the deaths of various friends

It could be pretty creepy ... if it weren't so darn stupid.

Oh where to begin? This one is amazingly fucking corny, but I really got a hoot out of it, as a German Shepherd pup quickly becomes the worst gift anyone could bring a young boy when it starts wreaking havoc in the life of the family that adopts it.The whole Satanism angle is never fleshed out all that much, in the end
