Pound

About This Movie

Pound is a quirky, offbeat comedy that's delightfully unique in its approach. The film unfolds in a dog pound where 18 dogs, each with distinct personalities, await their forever homes. The atmosphere is strangely whimsical, creating a blend of humor and melancholy as you watch these canines navigate their circumstances, often with a surprising depth. The pacing is a little uneven, which might throw some off, but it adds to the film's charm. The performances, although from dogs, are quite expressive, and the practical effects used to portray their antics are quite engaging. It’s not your typical narrative, more of a slice of life, which gives it that distinctive indie feel. A bit of a curiosity in the genre, but worth exploring for its originality.

Pound has had a bit of a tumultuous journey in terms of availability, with not too many format releases over the years. It seems to circulate mostly in niche collector circles, which makes it somewhat scarce. Collectors often appreciate it for its unconventional storytelling and the novelty of its canine cast, making it a curious piece of film history for those who value unique comedic takes from the era.
