In the 17th century Livonian village of Zaube, there's something in the air, something potentially sinister and ripe with nightmarish ramifications. Several of the village's residents can feel it: from the burly pastor's scared, young errand boy to the local tavern's maid. The danger manifests itself loud and clear when the pastor accuses the maid of witchcraft, leading to a trial during which an elder man proclaims himself to be a werewolf. How all this tension comes to a head will change the village and its surviving inhabitants forever.

Dennis Harvey Variety A grungy flashback that juggles fire, brimstone and a very 21st century gloss of hip irony. Aug 5, 2025 Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Slant Magazine The film is uncannily expressive, intensely violent, and perversely funny. Rated: 3/4 Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Sin, heresy and sexual ecstasy intertwine in a story which lacks theological depth but probably approximates fairly well the understanding of most peasants and low status clergy at the time. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 25, 2025 Full Review Matthew Simpson That Shelf For those who pick up what [Dog of God] is putting down, it will likely be a revelatory experience, and for everyone else, it will likely spur the question, “What the hell did I just watch?” Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Carson Timar Clapper Dog of God's vulgar visuals and disturbing presentation can overshadow a somewhat repudiative and basic narrative exploring the line between sin and religion. Jul 31, 2025 Full Review Laurence Boyce Cineuropa Lauris and Raitis Abele’s film, the latest feature-length animation out of Latvia, will prove a shock for those looking for something akin to Flow Jul 31, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
