Baxter (1989)

In this bleak French comedy-horror, a disturbed Bull Terrier named Baxter develops aggressive and murderous behaviour in his attempt to be adopted by another family.

Based on the novel "Hell Hound" (1977) by Ken Greenhall.

Cabin Fever (2002)

There's a really bad German Shepherd in Eli Roth's gruesome black comedy. Dr. Mambo menaces the students for some time before viciously attacking Marcy (Cerina Vincent).

The Omen (1976)

What would "The Omen" be without this menacing hellhound? Well, it would be a horror movie without dogs, and we can't have that.

Provided as a canine protector for antichrist Damien Thorn (Harvey Stephens), who is himself born of a jackal, this Rottweiler certainly looks and acts the part. Nice doggie!

Apparently, sales of Rottweilers increased after "The Omen" was first shown.
