The action circulates around a diabolical plot by Hitler's minions to manufacture grotesque, oversized canine mutants - lycanthrope-like creatures immune to bullets and capable of taking out an entire military battalion with a single attack. Hitler realizes this insane plan via one of the physicians responsible for engineering Nazi medical experiments: the psychotic Dr. Heinrich Schaltur. A military man, Lieutenant John Schmidt, has the misfortune of stumbling onto one of these creatures unaware; he barely manages to escape with his life, then subsequently decides to team up with Captain Joe Russo to find Dr. Schaltur and put a stop to the plot before it can fully gestate. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Bill Clark, FromTheBalcony
The film is a pleasantly ambitious smorgasbord of genres.

Scott Weinberg, FEARnet
An admirable little indie that earns points for keeping a poker-straight face throughout all the craziness.
