Man-Dog Romance: A Cult Cult Classic or Rabies Risk?
7 Feb
Summary
- The 2011 film 'Love on a Leash' is a notorious cult bad movie.
- It features a cursed dog that transforms into a man pursuing his owner.
- The film is available for free streaming on YouTube since 2011.
Fen Tian's 2011 independent film, "Love on a Leash," has become a notorious cult classic, widely described as one of the worst movies ever made. Initially released for free on YouTube, the film gained a peculiar following over the past decade.
Its premise centers on a cursed golden retriever named Prince, who can transform into a human man. This man-dog hybrid pursues his owner, Lisa, in a narrative that unfolds more as a queasy portrait of domestic manipulation than a whimsical fantasy.
The film is criticized for being hostile to viewers and profoundly tone-deaf in its politics. Unlike other cult films that benefit from a public figure behind them, Tian has largely vanished, leaving "Love on a Leash" as a reluctant cult object.
