Production
[edit]Breeders was the first film from Empire International Pictures to be distributed direct-to-video.[4] Charles Band said as Empire continued to grow it became necessary to pickup outside productions in order to meet demand and admitted involvement in Breeders and other films of its ilk may have been a mistake in hindsight.[4] Prior to working on Breeders, director Tim Kincaid had been better known as a pornographic director.[4]
Reception
[edit]Critical reception for the film has been negative. TV Guide panned the film, criticizing the film's acting, dialogue, and effects.[5] Valeriy Kolyadych from PopMatters gave the film 2/10 stars, calling it "unashamedly exploitative" and criticized the film's acting, dialogue, and finale.[6]
