  A horrible movie based on an old hollywood trope: The traditional purpose of a dog in a movie is to suffer and die. They are the vehicle for teaching kids about death, a metaphor for human suffering, or to enforce class distinctions as the dog heroically dies defending its betters. This movie just rolls that all together into a series of horrible dog deaths. We see this flipped in pg-13 movies these days where writers, who grew up watching dogs suffer under the old rule, wouldn't dare kill off a dog (independence day, 1 and 2). So the presence of a dog in a scene now reassures the audience that all will be well. But in an R-rated movie... if I see a dog on screen I'm tempted to walk out of the theater because I know it won't end well.
