From a national security laboratory escape a kind of automaton, with the code name Oxon, and a dog with a manipulated brain following various experiments. The dog is adopted by a boy who immediately becomes attached to it. But Oxon is on the trail of the animal and is ready to attack and eliminate anyone who tries to stop it. Mediocre fantasy-horror, with few acceptable sequences; screams, shouts, confusion but no fear. The best thing about the movie remains the dog's performance!
