3.5/4

Goyette takes a simple premise and then tightens the screws. He interjects the darkest of humor and spends time on making his characters more than caricatures.

2.5/4

It’s still an undeniably strong debut, maybe not the best in show for the genre this year, but promising enough that its filmmaker could one day claim that title.

Breeder is crafty, and far more wily than the premise might lead one to believe.

Dot-Marie Jones delivers a commanding performance that really sells the whole thing. It's a great premise executed well!

2.5/4

Although Breeder leaves us with no one to root for, its story logic makes some leaps, and its script could be tighter, the experience is too compelling and well-presented to disregard for its few flaws.

Not bad, also nothing special. Id say it had the potential for more. It had its funny moments watching the dog breeder using her methods with humans.

Too slow with a boring story line.

Suffers way too much from the “why in the heck are you doing this” trope that afflicts too many scary movies… but gets points for the awkward tension building they managed to accomplish.

This film had a tone that held my attention. The characters were mysterious and yet I found myself wanting to learn more. Definitely a thriller with hints of fear.
