I loved the suspenseful musical score the most. The two "children" in the film were both boys (the sons of the lead woman character, I believe). I own this picture in VHS format. Joe Don Baker's character as the marine biologist is really made to look as a complete idiot. How could someone so smart not have extra provisions on this remote heavily-wooded island for evacuation in emergencies as at least one extra power boat (fully-fueled), more guns and shells than supplied in the movie set, and at least one more radio/antenna set!!! Serious seafarers keep extra equipment as safety in numbers (redundancy). This movie really insults human intelligence as so many cheap flicks do, I suppose. The humans' worst enemy was there own stupidity and not the abandoned dogs, really. Some characters (by a few lines, some rather hostile) in the film even criticize Mr. Baker's character's incompetence as a scientist and tour guide. Mr. Baker's character gets "sly as a fox" toward the climax, though. After a few human deaths, the dogs are defeated in the end decisively, except for that cute innocent little straggler) I still enjoy the picture for its awesome musical score which did put some chill down my spine and make me feel a little uneasy about walking in the woods alone, especially at night, (without at least a loaded gun and one good guard dog)!!
