Overview

• Ben Leonberg’s debut tells its haunted-house story from a canine perspective, led by his real dog Indy, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.
• IFC Films releases the movie widely in the United States on Oct. 3, with a UK theatrical launch set for Oct. 10.
• Produced without animal doubles or CGI, the film was shot over hundreds of days at the director’s own house to capture natural behavior.
• Critics praise Indy’s expressive presence, the immersive low-to-the-ground camerawork, and evocative sound design.
• Recurring reservations focus on the approximately 72–73 minute runtime, a spare storyline, and stretches that feel padded.
