Overview

• IFC Films and Shudder roll the film into U.K. cinemas on October 10 following its October 3 U.S. theatrical debut.
• Reviews highlight the dog’s-eye perspective and striking visuals, with a high Rotten Tomatoes score cited and SXSW honoring Indy with a special “Howl of Fame” recognition.
• Director Ben Leonberg says the story invites dual readings of the house’s menace, preserving deliberate ambiguity without confirming a single explanation.
• The production prioritized animal welfare, limiting Indy’s on-set time to about three hours per day and stretching the shoot to roughly three years with dog-height‑focused design.
• Post-production sound drives the tension, with composer Sam Boase-Miller’s score and a custom “celloscillator” shaping the film’s harrowing final movement.
