Our canine hero, Indy, finds himself on a new adventure with his human owner--and best friend--Todd, leaving city life for a long-vacant family home in the country. From the start, two things are abundantly clear: Indy is wary of the creepy old house, and his affection for Todd is unwavering. After moving in, Indy is immediately vexed by empty corners, tracks an invisible presence only he can see, perceives phantasmagoric warnings from a long-dead dog, and is haunted by visions of the previous occupant’s grim death. When Todd begins succumbing to the dark forces swirling around the house, Indy must battle a malevolence intent on dragging his beloved Todd into the afterlife.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) The story itself is relatively slim, but the picture manages to be both hair-raising and heartbreaking. Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) The central star-making performance in this haunted house horror is worth the price of admission. Rated: 3/5 Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Billie Walker Little White Lies While other horror directors are busy chasing their tails trying to create genre defining moments, Ben Leonberg has succeeded creating a thrilling mid-budget horror that goes beyond pandering to animal lovers or tugging at our heartstrings. Rated: 4/5 Oct 14, 2025 Full Review Gabriela Meza Fuera de Foco https://youtu.be/4xuUgld1i9U Rated: 3/5 Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Austin Burke Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation While there isn't much to chew on from a story-standpoint, the fascinating gimmick lands and this unique perspective should enthrall horror fans. Props to Indy the dog. Rated: 6/10 Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Leonberg finds a handful of clever ways to rework horror cliches from Indy’s perspective, which I won’t spoil, but he doesn’t find enough to stave off the sense of repetition that creeps in around the midpoint. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 24, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

monica Amazing movie. Indy deserves an Oscar Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/25/25 Full Review Ava such a great movie and plot! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review Gene Wow! was my initial reaction. I purposely didn't look too closely at the previews and because of this, I didn't realize this was primarily a suspenseful movie (Trying not to give too much away here but there are 'gotcha' moments!). Indy is THE lead 'actor' in this movie even though he.... (Hint, stay through the credits). Quick summary: This is NOT another "dog movie" - way more than that. Kudos to the director - Ben Leonberg for how he merged the story with the real "character" of Indy. I can see this being a contender for the upcoming awards season. See the movie, honestly, you won't be disappointed! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Steve Loved it, lots of suspense and makes you really feel for Indy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review sunil m I like that it was something original. You had to think what was really happening. I liked it was from the perspective of the dog. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Melissa M Enjoyed very much - usually Im fully jaded watching horror flicks, but with this twist from the dogs perspective well, it reeled me in! Great job. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
