Told entirely from the perspective of Indy - a fiercely loyal retriever and the ultimate good boy - this bold, genre-bending horror delivers both heart and genuine chills. When Indy and his beloved owner, Todd, relocate to a remote countryside home, something feels wrong. Strange noises. Flickering lights. A presence in the shadows. As an unseen force begins to stir, Indy’s instincts sharpen – and his protective nature kicks in. With danger closing in, he must rely on his devotion and courage to shield the person he loves most.

Visually arresting, deeply atmospheric, and surprisingly moving, this is a truly original cinematic experience - led by one of the most compelling animal performances in recent memory. And yes, Indy makes it out alive!
