Dogman 2: The Wrath of the Litter

I had no expectations upon discovering this um, er, uh film? The first 15 minutes my laughter was non-stop. To pull it off all they needed was for the director to engage his friend's 6 year old daughter to design and create the costumes. They are darling! I did find the 17 scenes of the dog men smelling one another's butts gratuitous. I want a DOG MAN!!!!

I have seen films that are much worse in my mind. I feel it was put together very well. However the dog costumes looked like fursuits people but to play animals. I believe the effects could be better. Other than that it was better than other films that put much more money into them. Bauer did pretty good. In today budget levels $1,000,000.00 is not really much of a budget. I would consider that low budget in fact. So all and all three stars for me. - Thanks

I really do not think I should be writing a review but neither should the movie production staff who have given a high rating in order to preserve their jobs. Honestly, I only watched the first ten minutes until the really silly humans..UPRIGHT IN POORLY CONSTRUCTED DOG COSTUMES indicated to me that I could better spend my time sweeping up snakes and rats in my cellar. In my opinion, this movie should be utilized in Film-making 101 at any major film school as the absolute WORST way to spend even.....one dollar? ......on a stupid film project. OK, maybe one dollar is an exaggeration. They probably borrowed 50 cents from a bum on the street and said, "HEY...let's make a movie!!!!"

Let's be clear I think the first Dogman movie was bad, not awful but it was a pretty crappy independent horror movie that was far goofier than they likely intended it to be.

Upon learning there was a sequel I happily dived right in but expected the worst. I basically got more of the same which is a pretty bad thing.

It picks up shortly after the events of the first film (Which is always a plus in my eyes) but the Dogman issue seems to have gotten worse as the litter are all grown up.

Once again the creatures look like furrys, if you're underage please don't google that and if you have to make sure adult filter is on!

The original cast have all returned which is fantastic and gives the movie further credibility.

Sadly in quality it's slightly below par compared to the original, but not by much.

I personally don't understand how that is even possible considering this film reportedly had a one million dollar budget. How and why then does it still look like a hyper low budget indie film? Where did the money go? Sure as hell not on creature effects that's for sure.

If you enjoyed the first film then this is essential viewing, otherwise best avoid.

The Good:

Follows on nicely from the first

Same charm as the original

The Bad:

Poor creature sfx

Story isn't great

How did this cost 1 million dollars?

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

If you care about animals but are also a hunter you need to have a good long hard look at yourself in the mirror

I am on the fence on the furry kink, I'm not sure if it turns me on and whether I'd admit it if it did

Personally I enjoyed this and the first movie, yeah the effects aren't anything to write home about and yeah the acting is mediocre at best, but it's a fun movie for what it is. There are way worse low budget movies out there. This is just a fun 90 mins that you don't have to take too seriously.

I personally like the dogman costumes and personally any movie that isn't loaded with politics and political correctness earns at the very least 4 stars right there and I gave it another 4 because it's a fun movie. I will say if these movies where done right with a bigger budget and special effects these could have been some really good movies.
