Ah shame, I'l give it a look later in the week.

Separate threads for film & TV
I saw it during its theatrical release over here and while I overall enjoyed it, it's far from perfect. The dogsploitation bit at the core is well-executed and enjoyable - the problem is that almost half the film is spent on the protagonist dog's owner. This is fine when it's directly showing us the bond between the girl and the dog (because this then ties into the dog's storyline), but way too much of it is spent on some frankly pedestrian "the lives of teenagers" guff that held little or no interest.White God added to Ireland netflix and a few other regions, popped up on a few lists at beginning of this year and plenty of hype about it.:)
reviews and trailer.

It's worth a watch, because the dog's story is very well told - but if you were to fast forward the bits about the girl you wouldn't be missing much.0 -

Stayed with me for days, not at all a standard horror and I thought the two lead performances were outstanding. I will say, the fact we have a son almost the same age as the boy in the movie helped the film really strike a chord with us.
It really is a great movie
Speaking of horrors I just watched the human centipede 1&2 on Netflix Ireland.
Absolutely mental and not for those with a weak constitution.
Definitely one to watch for seasoned horror viewers. They are sick films. Anyone not into that should keep well clear or you'll be seeing your dinner.
I thought number two was much worse.
Number 3 is on now so be watching that soon

I think number 3 has a 1 rating on metacritic. The sadist in me wonders if I'd be able to sit through a trilogy that's meant to be that terrible.0 -

Well, it's certainly not worthless, I just didn't find it enjoyable.Gloomtastic! wrote: »I notice a few films on Netflix with a measly 2 stars will get 4/5 stars on say RottenTomatoes. Different audiences?
The audience rating for White God was 70% as opposed to the critics 90%. It's a greater sample size but also I imagine critics are often looking for something that's at least different to relieve the tedium of watching so many films, so their tastes necessarily diverge from ours. So, yes. :pac:It's worth a watch, because the dog's story is very well told - but if you were to fast forward the bits about the girl you wouldn't be missing much.
I think my main problem with it is that it couldn't decide what movie it wanted to be. There was a bit too much establishment before we got to the main event.0 -

Thought they were truly awful films and I'm a horror movie fan.0 -

It grew on me the further I got away from it, yeah not a resounding success but I'd still take it over a lot of the safe stuff we've been getting.I saw it during its theatrical release over here and while I overall enjoyed it, it's far from perfect. The dogsploitation bit at the core is well-executed and enjoyable - the problem is that almost half the film is spent on the protagonist dog's owner.

It has a cold open that puts most of Breaking Bad's to shame so if you want to just see the first five minutes go ahead.
