This film is loosely based on the book by Dean Koontz. I do mean loosely aswell. Travis Cornell as changed from an EX-DELTA force soldier to a ten year old boy. Travis's mum is the romanic lead in the book. These are little niggles but the film is still good.

The story is about a goverment experiment that has gone wrong. It starts off with an explosion at a factory. Two animals escape, one has been bred for intelligence and the other for pure brute strength. (Corey Haim) who plays TRAVIS ends up adopting the intelligent dog. However on their tale is a psycho federal agent (Michale Ironside) LEM JOHNSON and the viscous animal is never far behind leaving a path of destruction and whenever the animal kills it takes the eyes of its victims. Not faithful to the book, and Dean Koontz felt his book had been murdered. Still a good film, and will make you jump. The effects could have been better but it was a low-budget film, still pleasantly enjoyable. There have been many sequels to it aswell, I haven't seen them though.
I have read the book and it is a good read.

I didn't realise they'd made a film based on this, however loosely. Best I avoid this, as I loved the book, so it would probably annoy me.
