That dogs got skills!


Did you see em' jump that fence? He's got to hold the record for highest doggie fence climbing. I'm suprised he couldn't open the door too! Seriously though, good film, really liked the way it was shot.

There was one part in that scene where you can see a flashlight direct the dog where to go. It's still cool.

If the girl would have left the dog alone, she would still be alive today. She should never have hit the fence and antagonized the dog. Of course, if she would have been nicer to her date that night, she would have had a ride home, and nothing else would have happened to her.
Mad props to the dog! Guess he's been eating his Kibbles and Bits!

I love the part where the dog runs back from the fence and then turns around to give himself a running start. Then he zips right up and over it. I was totally impressed.

I also liked it later when the dog was dancing around pretending to attack the girl. That was some excellent dog acting.

It seemed in line with the rest of the movie... "Tenebre"=shadow, in the early part of the film, the actual killings are 'shadowed' by potentially fatal encounters.

The tramp attempts to rape the shoplifter and follows her to the house quite possibly intending to kill her, only for the 'real' killer to strike inside the house. Same thing with the dog who would undoubtably have killed the girl if the killer hadn't got there first. I was almost expecting her (when being chased across the garden by the killer) to get over the fence only for the dog to finish her off!

That dog was a legend.

The dog was definitely the best part of the movie. I was impressed when he jumped over that first wall into the park, but the fence jumping was epic.

People who antagonize vicious animals like that kind of have it coming...

Anyone who still has faith in humanity has never been to the imdb boards.

maybe that day the doggy was totally piss off because he doesn´t had any food and the girl was a great teaser for him.

^ Yeah, there was no pedigree chum left in the fridge!

The fence jumping was amazing.

But what was even more amazing was how scary the dog looked without the actress actually being harmed! Now that was some excellent dog acting, people acting, and direction/editing.

The dog chase scene was brilliant.
