Overall not very good, but St. Bernard’s performance is remarkable

After watching the whole movie, I always feel that it is far-fetched. The first is the extramarital love of the heroine. In addition to adding a heavy atmosphere to the film, the only effect seems to be the stiffness of the husband and wife relationship that caused the husband to fail to repair the car in time, making the heroine get into the next dilemma. This makes people feel that the description in this paragraph is really too long; secondly, his son Ted always feels that there is a plot of monster in the family, which seems to pave the way for their later encounters, but this kind of paving really makes people feel reluctantly reasonable; again; It was Gu Zhuo’s performance that he was bitten by a bat and induced rabies, turning into a vicious monster, but what is shown in the film is a rather sober and sensible Saint Bernard, despite the viciousness, letting go of its little owner. In the process of attacking the mother and son, he showed his sensibility, but it seemed that his viciousness was just to show better acting skills. And using St. Bernard to frighten, should only frighten the soul of the audience who is afraid of dogs. When I saw Saint Bernard's appearance, the embarrassing expression instantly felt that the atmosphere of horror disappeared. Although Saint Bernard has a large body, his personality is very docile. Therefore, the only success in the film is the wonderful performance of St. Bernard. It is really not easy to show this evil.
If this film is used as a horror film, it is really not a good subject to use dogs to show it; as a psychological film portraying the characters, the psychological display of this film is the necessary fear except for the irrelevant extramarital affairs. It is really different from movies like the Anaconda Disaster and Jaws. For people who love dogs, even though it is a dog movie, I don't think anyone will like this type of movie. However, people who are curious can still take a look, like me who vowed to watch all dog-themed movies and TV shows
