Man's Best Friend
A local reporter acciently unleashes a genetically engineered killer dog with superior mental capacity loose on the city. She later finds the dog and adopts him until he starts freaking out and eats the mailman. A pretty typical horror style monsterous animal movie, but done in a clever way. The dog even pulled off a few 'holy shit' moments like when he climbed a tree to eat a cat. Plus the movie has Lance Henriksen in it, so you can't go wrong. 3.5 out of 5.
