Lionsgate\u2019s\u00a0A Breed Apart\u00a0is described as \u201ca hilariously harrowing tale of terror,\u201d with the trailer mostly showcasing humans killing dogs rather than dogs killing humans.<\/p>\n

Meagan Navarro wrote in her\u00a0review out of Tribeca Film Fest<\/a>, \u201cA Desert\u00a0reaches a fitting conclusion, thematically and tonally, but the steadfast refusal for tidy answers may polarize.
