My thoughts:

 

Great, great horror movie! First off, who wouldn't be afraid of a giant dog, foaming at the mouth & trying to attack you?? Immediate horror!! On top of all that, the woman is trapped with her small child, who is panicky. Every mother knows, every good mother would so go one on one with that dog for their child's health or life. Really enjoyed this & the ending totally made me not only jump, but scream!
