Source-VHS rip on Youtube
This is one of those films where I had been hearing about it since I was young. Mostly from older cousins that saw it when it aired Halloween night 1978 on CBS.
Richard Crenna and Yvette Mimieux are the parents of those 2 kids from Disney's Witch Mountain series of films.
The family adopts a puppy from a roadside fruit seller.
Too bad this dog is possessed by a demon and had incredible powers. Like the ability to force the dad to shove his arm in a running lawnmower. Or the dog's being able to build a shrine to Satan in the attic.
The dog steals all but the father's soul. To get them back Richard Crenna has to touch the dog in the eye with a sacred symbol he got from Ecuador.
The movie is just batshit insane. And entertaining. Decent cast. Too bad the FX work is low budget looking.
Devil Dog gets a B+.
