Overview

• The feature is told almost entirely from the perspective of Indy, a real Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retriever who serves as the film’s protagonist.
• Critics note the mood-first, minimalist haunted‑house approach, praising the novelty and canine performance over conventional jump scares.
• Reviewers flag drawbacks including thin human characterization, uneven pacing, and a short 72–73 minute runtime.
• Writer-director Ben Leonberg shot largely in his own weekend house, capturing Indy’s genuine reactions without CGI or animal doubles.
• IFC Films and Shudder are rolling the movie into theaters on October 3 following festival buzz and viral trailers.
