Baxter, a sociopathic bull terrier, stars in this chilling French horror film that blends thrills and black comedy into a truly original tale. The inner thoughts of the brooding Baxter reveal that he is quite unhappy with his situation - living with an elderly woman who is afraid of him. In search of his ideal master, he successful plots how to do away with her - and attempts similar plan when he becomes dissatisfied with his next owner. It's not long before the ingenious Baxter finds the perfect guardian - a lonely, introverted boy whose macabre interest in Hitler's personal life helps turn the all-too-willing canine into a thoroughbred killing machine.
