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 Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net Dog of God is a mythic, perverse, and spellbinding adult fairy tale, one that dares the audience to go along with its grotesque seduction Rated: 4/5 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Once you’ve already gone as far as you have in your choice to craft controversial images, it feels like a half-measure to make your story so bland. Rated: 5/10 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Jeff Nelson Guy at the Movies This Latvian horror fever dream doesn’t always stick the landing, but its unflinching portrait of human cruelty makes for an oddly compelling journey. Rated: 3/5 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Sean Boelman FandomWire Even when the story leaves something to be desired, it’s an impressive work of atmosphere that harkens back to the classic rotoscope animated adventures, allowing it to be a generally engaging watch. Rated: 6/10 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Ricardo Gallegos La Estatuilla The superb rotoscoped animation lends a twisted beauty to the feast of on-screen perversions.
