Rabid Dogs is an Italian film directed by Mario Bava. It was made in 1974 but the film was seized by the courts during the final stages of production when the producer went bankrupt after the main investor in the film died in a car crash. It was not released until 1998.

Filmed originally as Semaforo Rosso (translation: Red Light), the film was released in 1998 on VHS as Rabid Dogs / Cani Arrabbiati, and re-released in 2007 (in a slightly reedited form) on DVD as Kidnapped. The original Italian title referred to a key scene in the film in which the characters make a fatal stop at a traffic signal, an occurrence that triggers all of the events of the plot, which involves a group of bank robbers and the hostages they take who they order to drive them from Rome to another location.

Synopsis

Les Chiens enragés est un film italien réalisé par Mario Bava tourné en 1974, mais le film a été saisi par les tribunaux durant les derniers stades de la production lorsque le producteur a fait faillite après que le principal investisseur du film meure dans un accident de voiture et n'est finalement sorti qu'en 1998 en VHS et réédité en 2007 sous une forme légèrement différente, sur DVD aux États-Unis sous le titre Kidnapped. Le titre original Semaforo rosso (traduction : feu rouge) est issu d'une scène clé du film dans laquelle les personnages font un arrêt fatal à un feu de circulation, cet évènement déclenche tous les évènements de l'intrigue.

The film takes place along a stretch of coastline somewhere in Florida in the United States, where a local tourist spot has become plagued by a mysterious marine creature. Little do they know, the monster is the product of a secret military experiment — a genetic hybrid mutated from a common octopus and the prehistoric super-predator Dunkleosteus. Unfortunately, the creature has broken loose, and is now feeding on swimmers and tourists swimming or sailing along the coast. Also, the monster is only an infant, and will continue to grow if it is left to hunt much longer.
