August 21Aug 21 Horror movie told from the dog's POV, got raves at SXSW. It should go without saying that I'm in on opening weekend.
August 22Aug 22 Author If anyone is (rightfully) concerned about the dog's fate, I went ahead and looked up that spoiler for you. Spoiler He lives.
August 22Aug 22 I don’t think Tony Soprano would like this movieSaddest Things About Tony On occasion, however, Tony's kinder side shines through. He has a particular soft spot for animals, which, as Melfi discovers, is common among diagnosed sociopaths. He also, in rare cases, shows empathy for his fellow humans.

August 22Aug 22 Nope, nope, nope, and nope. My daughter is going to try like hell to drag me to this, and I'll probably have to distract her by agreeing to go to one of her KPOP concert movies

August 22Aug 22 And it's a brilliant premise. The narrative that pets can see ghosts + our love of pets = compelling movie.

August 22Aug 22 I would imagine that because the dog doesn't die he's going to be the hero and kill the ghosts. nothing wrong with that.

August 22Aug 22 Just now, MissingInAction said: Spoilers!! it was covered earlier! but it's also a necessary spoiler. if the dog ended up dying nobody would want to see that shit.

October 6Oct 6 Author Saw it yesterday. It reminded me of Skinamarink in a lot of ways, being a similar high-concept film. You never see the humans' faces clearly. Since it's shot from the dog's POV, most of what you see is from about knee-height. I watched it with my 13-yo and we both really liked it. It didn't stick the landing 100%, IMO, but it's still a good movie. The filmmakers do a great job of conveying tension. The Drafthouse had a good post-credits thing, about 5 minutes long, where the director talked about how they shot the movie with a dog who - and he could not emphasize this enough - did not realize he was in a movie. It took 3 years to film it because they spent so much time getting the reactions they wanted out of Indy, who is adorable.

Would definitely recommend checking it out - but temper your expectations. Post-credit thing was great.
October 8Oct 8 My daughter and I went to see it tonight. We both enjoyed it. It’s a fairly short movie at just over an hour and I thought that was the perfect length for it. I’m always down for a good dog movie and my daughter likes horror movies so for once we both agreed. I thought the dog was really good in it and I only went to see it because I knew he didn’t die in the movie Spoiler While that was technically correct, there was a dead dog in it
November 6Nov 6 Loved it. Especially that theres more to it than just dog sees ghosts. Its more about Indys interpretation of what is happening to his beloved sick owner. Once you realize that every aspect of the movie is only from the dogs perspective it brings a lot more to the table. Edited November 6Nov 6 by MissingInAction
