Devil Dog - 1978



I caught this trailer and immediately went to Netflix to put it on my queue, discovered that it was one of the play-now movies and watched this thing while laughing hysterically. Simply put: This movie is totally awesome. It's a 1978 made-for-tv horror film about a group of satanists who buy a dog for breeding then summon a monster to father the puppies. One of these puppies grows up to become the titular Devil Dog, using his mind powers to seduce the children and the mother of a small suburban family into the dark embrace of Beelzebub. It's up to Richard Crenna to travel to Ecuador, where apparently a thousand years ago early Ecuadorian Christians fought off a similar beast using tattoos on their hands. No, I don't believe it's supposed to make sense. Anyway, the final battle between sweating Crenna and giant blue-screened monster-dog-with-horns is well worth sitting through the hour and thirty-five minutes of radical. For some reason, there's also this:



The movie is cursed! Bwa ha ha ha ha haaa!
