why and oh why and be this trash consider a classic . i have see high body count on episode of the simpson . virtually nothing happen in this film and much of it run time be fill with nearly unbearable melodrama straight out of a low rent soap opera . the trenton family be go through tough time and when dad be away mommy and little boy go to get the car fix . but when they get to the ranch they discover that the guard dog have go mad . the rest of the film be just them sit in the car while the slobber st. bernard circle them over and over . regard the kid and i have never and ever see a more annoying child in a film in my life . and obviously he completely aryan since blonde haired and blue eyed kid and such a the one prominently feature on packet of kinder chocolate and be apparently more sympathetic than people with brown eye and dark hair and like me . all he do be cry and whine . same go for mommy . she get out the car and she get in the car and she get out the car and she get in the car . i know this be make in 1983 but i just sick to death of horror film where the character make stupid and illogical decision . if mommy just use some common sense she would be able to get away from the icky dog . it very poorly write and there zero tension . if you want to see a good bad dog movie then check out john lafia man best friend . it funny and inventive and have a good dog and a high body count and a more involve story . leave this garbage be .
