They named the dog Indy...
The director achieves the tour de force of having a dog as his main actor. He uses his own dog, Indy. Yes, he named the dog Indy. And the result is impressive. The acting, not the name.
The downside of this is, dogs don't really pretend. For one who speaks fluent canine, Indy's behaviour or mood are often incongruent with the purported situation. Well, not when reacting to the actor's feigned distress. Indy really is a good boy. Fun part is, one can guess how the director got his dog to act.
As a (horror) movie, it's atmospheric, well shot and decently scripted. Not much acting or dialog, obviously. It does have the obligatory naked shower scene, though. And the dream sequence scare jump.
It was apparently done on a tiny budget, which shows in the photography, and shooting from the dog's point of view is a tad gimmicky. The short run-time helps it not getting tedious.
Pleasant movie. Don't watch with the little ones, unless you want to have one of the complicated discussions.
