Halloween Viewing- Lucky The Murderous Dog


The film Lucky The Murderous Dog (2002) suffers from a lack of budget, the plot line alone offers a good promise of black comedy horror. But lack of money meant poor recording, poor editing, poor camera techniques and poor development of ideas.
The plot line goes a failed cartoon writer (Millard), hits a dog he nurses back to health called Lucky. Lucky changes his life, Lucky talks to him and tells him to kill people.
I assume the film has narration throughout which became very annoy after 10 minutes as it was too self explanation, I did a lot of fast forwarding and then the dog started to talk and you know what it wasn't witty or smart so I switched off.
I think I would of tried to watch it through if the DVD quality had been better, but this is a film that should be remade, just on a better budget.

Plot Summary from imbd
Ever have one of those lifetimes where nothing seems to go right? Failing cartoon writer, Millard Mudd, has sunk deep into one. Living hermit-like and existing on a strict alcohol diet, Mudd's world has collapsed. But one day everything changes when a dog named Lucky enters his life. You see, what makes Lucky no ordinary dog is his ability to talk. And what makes Lucky invaluable is his ability to teach Mudd how to write again. But what makes Lucky dangerous is his ability to get inside Mudd's head and turn him into a serial killer.
