Synopsis

Please enjoy the fear of the Terminator dog that keeps surviving when you think it is dead. Rottweiler is a watchdog for a prison. His jaw is so strong that he can bite anything, not only a bone. With this weapon, the dog monitors the prisoners and has the privilege of biting whoever tries to escape. The hero, Dante, goes over the prison wall to clear himself of a false accusation. He cannot avoid the dog. The dog follows him and attacks constantly. He wants to abandon the past, his youth. He kills the dog while running away as he tries to offset the past, but the dog survives. The dog is becoming stronger and he remembers the past more clearly. Will he escape from the dog and the memories? The more terrifying thing is that there are no friends and no place to rest. He has to fight and fight again. Who will win in this fight? Take a close look at the acting of Paul Naschy, who is the best professional horror actor in Spain, and the bloody special effects. It is a horror movie that can make you shut your eyes.

He is one of the modern creators of the fantastic/horror genre, an actor, screenwriter, producer and film director. Born in the Philippines and educated in Central America (Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico) and the United States (Atlanta), Yuzna was part of the counter-cultural generation of the sixties and seventies.

A lover of fantastic films and known essentially for his gory horror films, in 1985, Yuzna was praised for his work as the producer of Re-Animator. In 1989, he worked for Disney as a co-producer of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, which marked the beginning of his collaboration with another specialist of the genre, Stuart Gordon, who has also worked for FANTASTIC FACTORY in DAGON. A cosmopolitan and tireless worker, Brian Yuzna has produced and directed films in Italy, Canada and Mexico, creating such noteworthy movies as Crying Freeman (1995), whose antecedent was Mutronics (1991).
