Reviews (2)
The movie Monster Dog plays a lot on the fact that it has a famous singer in the lead role. Alice Cooper is a household name that would subconsciously create certain expectations in the audience. However, It is not very good and too simplistic concerning the horror aspect. It was a calculated move regarding Alice Cooper's involvement, although he is good in it, and there is certainly no shortage of musical numbers, although they work well.

Hardrock star Alice Cooper shines in this werewolf horror directed by the infamous Claudio Fragasso. I used the word "shines" intentionally because Cooper and his two songs are the only things worthy of any note in this garbage movie. Alice was allegedly going through not just a career crisis but a crisis in his whole life the time of filming: he was recovering from drug and alcohol addiction and, when finally sober, decided to try his luck with a low-budget horror movie, which – he was assured –would only be shown somewhere far away. The shitty screenplay revolves around a rock star who goes away to the countryside to shoot a music video, and while at it, some people turn into a werewolf here and there. It's not just about the transformation of the characters, the movie itself turns from a werewolf horror into a spaghetti western at one point, but that should hardly surprise anyone when it comes to Fragasso. And best of all? Well, when you cast a singer in the lead role, whose strongest asset is of course his distinctive voice, and then you have him dubbed over. I am speechless.
