Love on a Leash

Love on a Leash is director Fen Tian's feature debut; the script was originally written in Chinese and translated to English through crude methods, producing the film's famously stilted, broken dialogue. The story follows a young woman who falls in love with a dog that turns human at night. Made on a low budget with direct to video distribution, the film has become a so bad it's good cult classic over time, discussed on podcasts like How Did This Get Made? and featured on Collider's bad movie lists, with IndieWire calling it baffling and weird. Who it's for: anyone curious about a cult bad movie classic built on stilted dialogue born from a rough translation, about a woman falling for a dog that turns human. Who it's not for: viewers wanting a polished, well made production, since the film's appeal lies exactly in its flaws.
