Product Description

He'll Love You to Death! Baxter, a sociopathic bull terrier, stars in this chilling French horror film that blends thrills and black comedy into a truly original tale. The inner thoughts of the brooding Baxter reveal that he is quite unhappy with his situation-living with an elderly woman (French screen legend Lise Delamare, the star of the Jean Renoir classic, La Marseillaise) who is afraid of him. In search of his ideal master, he successfully plots how to do away with her-and attempts a similar plan when he becomes dissatisfied with his next owner. It's not long before the ingenious Baxter finds the perfect guardian-a lonely, introverted boy whose macabre interest in Hitler's personal life helps turn the all-too-willing canine into a thoroughbred killing machine. Top critic Vincent Canby (The New York Times) called Baxter "One of the Best Films of the Year."

    5.0 out of 5 stars REGION 1 NOW OUT OF PRINT
    Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This is a must have for the unusual movie collector. Sadly region 1 is now out of print. This film is great, it's French with English subs, good transfer, dark subject matter, great acting. I hardly see this as a black comedy as some have listed earlier, I think it's more of a character study of Baxter, the dog and his psychological issues and how they effect the people around him. A solid 9/10 for me, only because this rare dvd has absolute no special features, not even a trailer. This was a good watch with my friend circle, lots of conversational points which was great.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent, disturbing, and layered film.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This movie is very fascinating as it is thought provoking. The POV of a dogs life through the period of three different owners is interesting to watch. Take note of both animal nature and human nature and do not be afraid to bring your own knowledge of history when watching this movie. As disturbing as this film may be, I believe it to be very real. Only reason I chose to write a review, is I believe this movie gets misrepresented. A lot of depth to this film, as many come into it expecting something it is not. It is too easy to get hung up on certain images and reactions. Working with abused children for over a decade and a half, Baxter seemed painfully human to me.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Despite the description, it's NOT horror
    Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    The advertising for this DVD release of Baxter is misleading. Originally billed as a dark comedy, the Region 1 package describes Baxter as a "thoroughbred killing machine," and features the tagline "He'll love you to death." Baxter's body count is amazingly low for a "horror" movie; I think he successfully bumps off one person. This is not a horror movie. Baxter is a sociopathic bull terrier, but the motivation for his violent acts are jealousy and discontent, not blood lust. The film is a darker example of the dark comedy genre, but it is still comedy. The sociopathic canine narrator is absurd, not frightening.

    I ran across this film in a high school French class and enjoyed its existential dog. It's not for everyone - there is violence, sex, and scenes of possible animal cruelty - but it is a unique and worthwhile 83 minutes. The DVD picture quality is decent (though nothing special) and in widescreen format. Sound is fine and the subtitles (at least the English ones) seems to follow the French reasonably well.

    Recommended.

    EDIT: Originally described Baxter as a pit bull; he is a bull terrier.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bad Dog
    Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    If you see the cover you might "Baxter" is just a French version of "Cujo." In reality it's more like a dog version of "Taxi Driver." It's smart, subtle, and scary. It's a far more cerebral film than what you might expect. A sociopathic dog narrates his life and plots acts of violence to express himself and get what he wants. This isn't "Lady and the Tramp," Toto. The film is full of great brooding atmosphere and tension, but is this film's ability to capture the utmost in chilling moments without the use of gore or cheap surprises. "Baxter" is a genuinely disturbing masterpiece that not only will spook you as you watch it, but it will leave you with much to think about regarding its implications. Bravo.

    5.0 out of 5 stars WRONG COVER, WRONG BREED...GREAT MOVIE.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Great movie if you don't take yourself too seriously, its not scary its not creepy its simply a quirky French movie. I think some of the reviewers are reading way too far into it. Its actually quite funny at times. Everything about the cover is wrong or inaccurate to the original cover, even the font.
    I guess they wanted to sensationalize it by replacing the English Bull Terrier dog in the movie with some Cujo-esque-foaming-at-the-mouth-sooper-scary-pibble-terrier. Just plain stupid. Throw the cover away and enjoy the movie.

    yes, this is black comedy to those only looking on the surface. there is more of baxter in all of us than we'd like to admit. this is more than a story of a dog; its a commentary on the human condition. we all try to get through this world doing our own thing but all the while being loved.for the record the final line is" NEVER BE OBEDIENT". his blind obedience is what gets him killed.for those with an open mind this is a must watch.enjoy.

    I first saw this movie when I was nine and I laughed so hard that I never forgot it. If you don't like subtitles get over it and make a point of seeing this flick. Baxter kicks Old Yeller and Benjii's butt.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Beware of Dog
    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Although the issue of murderers dogs find it very fondled, I liked this movie. the script is very well run (note that the writer is fully informed about animal psychology). Actually, make a movie where the protagonist is a dog (which is bad) is very risky. Well, we've seen other movies as well, but the protagonist is always a human (Cujo Dee Wallace Stone, x example ...). Perhaps the pace will fail a little, but otherwise a masterpiece.

    There are so many American made "just Love Dogs" type crap that cast animals in the Lassie, Warhorse, selfless hero. The person we could be if we only were more godlike. In this movie the anthropomorphic extension to the dog is more realistic.
