What happens when a boy is raised like a dog...and then thrust into
the modern world? The Dogcatcher's Kid tells the story of Peter, a
stoic dogcatcher who adopts the discarded dogs he should be
euthanizing. When he takes possession of an abandoned baby, Peter
is forced to confront the society he abandoned long ago. As Plato
said: Of all animals, boy is the most unmanageable. In two simple
narrative threads, The Dogcatcher's Kid traces civilization from
its roots in rural Greece, through small-town manufacturing, and
onto skyscraper rooftops, paying homage along the way to each
generation's turning points. The timeless words of Socrates and
Plato guide the journey, echoing clearly with their current
relevance. Where did the modern world come from? Why did it get so
big? And how can a mix of Greek and canine philosophies help a
young boy to navigate it? The Dogcatcher's Kid is a fable both
ancient and modern. For lovers of animals or lovers of gadgets. And
for anybody who has been a parent, an adult, or a kid.

Low-budget slasher horror. Eleven years ago, troubled teenager Jack
Riley (Eric Peter-Kaiser) went on a murderous rampage and killed
the entire family of Karen Cook (Michele Morrow), who miraculously
managed to survive his brutal attack. Now, after ten years in a
youth institution, Jack is free to track Karen down and finish what
he started. Karen, however, has pre-empted his movements, enlisting
the help of small-town cop Chris Watts (Sam Skoryna) in a desperate
attempt to put an end to Riley's killing spree - but stopping this
crazed psychopath in his tracks does not prove an easy task.
