Review of Dogtooth (2009) by Jonathan P — 24 May 2013

I usually hate movies like Dogtooth. If a movie doesn't try to make sense of things at some point during it's runtime I usually dislike the film. Dogtooth may be a first for me as I just couldn't comprehend what was being shown, why it was being show, and what was going on and yet I couldn't look away.

Dogtooth isn't a good movie but what it does is leaves viewers with a sense of dread and frayed nerves. Dogtooth is one of those movies that feels like arthouse but takes the oddest of concepts and makes the viewers question exactly what it is they are watching.

For nothing more than keeping me glued to an incomprehensible story Dogtooth is passable.
