Better call animal control, because it’s CATS VS. DOGS MONTH at Mondo Mondays, featuring hilarious hordes of crazed canines and killer kitties battling it out for bad movie domination! May the best species win…
“The Fear … The Terror … The Nightmare … They Will Never Forget It!!!” Everyone’s favorite shock rocker, Alice Cooper, teams up with the director of the legendary bad movie Troll 2 for this howlingly hilarious horror flick that’s going straight to the dogs! In Monster Dog, wild man Alice Cooper plays spectacularly-named ’80s rock star Vincent Raven, who kicks off the movie performing in a goofy music video while dressed as Sherlock Holmes and James Bond. When the dazed-looking singer returns to his fog-shrouded hometown after a 20-year absence to shoot yet another music video (hey, it was the ‘80s, and MTV really needed content), he and his crew are confronted by a terrifying local legend. Packs of wild, bloodthirsty dogs seem to be on the loose attacking the population, but in fact, there is something even more sinister and supernatural at work: a clawed, demonic beast straight from the depths of hell is out to make Raven’s life a living nightmare. But is Raven somehow connected to the beast? It seems that years earlier, Raven’s father was accused of being a werewolf and was subsequently murdered by the townspeople. Now everyone, including his girlfriend Sandra, suspects Raven of “wolfing out” like his dear old dead dad. What’s the real story? Good luck trying to find out, as this outrageous, bewildering monster whodunit begins piling on the ghosts, shootouts, cowboys, dry ice and monster dogs aplenty in a nonstop onslaught of confusion spiced up with two Alice Cooper production numbers (“Identity Crisis” and “See Me in the Mirror”), cheesy special effects and all the crazed Euro movie garbage you’d expect from Italian schlock-meister Claudio Fragasso (here working under the pseudonym “Clyde Anderson”), director of Troll 2 and Rats: Night of Terror! (Dir. by Claudio Fragasso, 1984, Spain, in English, 84 mins., Rated R)
