2.0 out of 5 stars Monster Dog, June 10, 2010

This review is from: Monster Dog (DVD)

A group of rock 'n rollers end up dead meat when they run across a mutant beast on the road home to their next show, but they soon find out that the monster may actually be walking among them! Alice Cooper leads this awful mess of a monster movie, which can't decide if it is a killer animal flick, a werewolf tale, or a ghost story. Its convenient plot seems like nothing more than a poor excuse to throw Cooper on stage in a few cheesy music video moments. MONSTER DOG'S hand-puppet monster is likewise a laughable joke, but thankfully it is kept shrouded in the fog for the majority of the film. The only shot that is even worth mentioning in the entire picture is a shotgun blast that cleaves a guy's skull in two, but other than that this is a trashy creature-feature out of Spain that can easily be missed.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Coop" Proves Decent Actor in His Single Starring (Scary) Role, March 28, 2009

Alice Cooper, making his first horror movie at age 36, in Torrelodones,
rural Spain, acquits himself as a star (never doubted), but also as an
acceptable actor in taking on this rather underwritten role. His dark,
gaunt, part-Sioux Indian looks and fluid movements are perfect for the
lead role of Vincent Raven, "The Hottest Rock Star In The World," which
Alice genuinely was around 1973-1976! Mr. Raven and young crew travel
to his family mansion in the California mountains to shoot a "rock-video."

It seems there are packs of big hounds running wild, and maybe a werewolf
too. As in "Daughter of Dr. Jekyll" and "Son of Frankenstein," the local
peasants are prejudiced against "Vince" and company, because his father had
unleashed terror on the countryside, twenty years before. This leads to
some excitement as a leathered-up, gunshooting Alice splatters bad guys
(like in his 1971 classic tune, "Desperado," itself inspired by Robert
Vaughn's dudified "Lee" in 1960's "The Magnificent Seven"). There are
also a spate of bloody attacks by a "Halloween-mask" looking lycanthrope.

As a "modern-era" horror movie, there have been plenty worse than "Monster
Dog." It makes little sense, but did you care? The writer-director, none
other than "Clyde Anderson" (must be Scottish!) coats the events in enough
fog to please even Sherlock Holmes (who also makes a brief appearance)!
If you want to see the legendary Alice Cooper portray "himself" in a
fun, schlocky horror movie, "Monster Dog" is not a total bow-wow,
although it's got a "VHS style" full-screen and picture quality. Included
in the action are two fun rock-videos of ultra-rare Cooper songs, "Identity Chrises," (sic),
and "See Me in the Mirror."

The actor playing the main bad guy, Ricardo Palacios, is a familiar
(ugly) face from Clint Eastwood's "Spaghetti Westerns."
Alice Cooper personally gives "Monster Dog" two stars, harsher than me!
He also has a sports bar-restaurant with much career memorabilia,
"Cooperstown," in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rare footage of 80's Cooper Videos, June 21, 2008

If your considering buying this movie it is probably because Alice Cooper is in. The best feature of this movie are the videos of a couple of the songs from his 80-83 years. I haven't seen this in awhile but I believe there were two songs from "Zipper Catches Skin" made into videos for this movie. The movie itself is a low budget South American affair and has been a cause of great embarressment for Alice.
