THE AMERICAN HOME VIDEO PREMIERE
Five years after his SHOCK TREATMENT stunned European audiences, cult fantastique writer/director Alain Jessua delivered this startling thriller that remains the most controversial and prescient film of his career: In a corporate suburb outside Paris, the community's new doctor discovers its leading citizens all get their dogs from a wealthy, charismatic trainer (an unsettling performance by Oscar® nominee Gérard Depardieu) - dogs that have a ferocious appetite for immigrants, rowdy youths, people of color and anyone who challenges the status quo. Victor Lanoux (COUSIN, COUSINE), Nicole Calfan (THE BURGLARS) and Fanny Ardant (CONFIDENTIALLY YOURS) co-star in "one of the most unexpected and original French films of the '70s" (DVDFr.com), now scanned in 2K from the interpositive for the first time in America.

Press Quotes
★★★★ Jessua's most disturbing film... More than three decades after it was made, it continues to be scarily pertinent.
—FrenchFilms.org
A visionary film... Jessua paints an incisive and pessimistic portrait of a society adrift. Depardieu is brilliant.
—DevilDead.com
A worthwhile film with surprising complexity... As in SHOCK TREATMENT, Alain Jessua is adept at intimating a large political conspiracy from his thriller elements.
—Time Out
One of the most unexpected and original French films of the '70s.
—DVDFr.com
Compelling and highly original... Jessua is a maverick whose work, like that of Samuel Fuller, explores controversial subjects in a bold, cinematic style.
—New Wave Film
