Get the Eat. Sip. Play. newsletter in your inbox Available now: Sign up here for the best food, drink and entertainment coverage in Stanislaus County. Dot-Marie Jones’ performance in the indie-horror film “Breeder” has garnered attention for the local actress. Called “the film’s linchpin” in an online review on seattlerefined.com , the Turlock/Hilmar native Jones plays Patti, who breeds poodles. But Patti has become obsessed with merging “the DNA of two promising young people to create perfection which she then plans to sell on the black market,” the review says. “It’s dark and demented, though the catch is announced from the jump. Her irksome, icky pursuit is not nearly as upsetting as the means by which she seeks to achieve it.” In a Q&A story on phantasmag.com , Jones said she loved that the film was different. “It was cringey. It was a perfect horror film, but also a thriller. That kind of opportunity doesn’t come around that often, and the cast and crew were fantastic,” she said. When asked in the story about her performance being compared to that of Kathy Bates in “Misery,” Jones answered “That’s ridiculous, but it’s such an (honor) to be compared to Kathy. I
