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.

Rocco T. Thompson Slant Magazine The film is uncannily expressive, intensely violent, and perversely funny. Rated: 3/4 Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness ... explores the weaponization of love to cudgel and control a populace, transforming natural feelings and emotions into shame with the only outlet being pain. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 28, 2025 Full Review Payton McCarty-Simas Film Inquiry Dog of God’s is a delight to behold in this psychedelic, rotoscope-animated folk horror freakout. Jun 26, 2025 Full Review Chauncey K. Robinson People's World Religious corruption, sexism, witch trials, and other horrors, both ordinary and supernatural, come together for a most memorable tale. It has a lot to say—even when all it tries to convey isn’t completely clear. Rated: B Jun 19, 2025 Full Review Dan Bayer Next Best Picture While not everything in “Dog of God” works, the things that do make it easy to recommend to people longing for something unique. While the themes at play are well-worn, the presentation is anything but, and that’s enough to make this a worthy watch. Rated: 6/10 Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Beth Accomando AWFJ.org If your only knowledge of Latvian animation is the Academy Award-winning Flow, then be prepared for something very different with Dog of God, which serves up a darkly hued fever dream about the uglier aspects of humanity.
