Our take

Told largely from a loyal dog's view, this M horror is rated for terror, bloody images and strong language. Haunted-house dread, Indy in repeated peril, brief blood and some f-word use land throughout. Emotional and scary for dog lovers; fine for teens who handle mood horror.

Uplifting themes

Loyalty and unconditional love drive the hero dog Indy models courage; humans are vulnerable but caring

Story (may spoil tone)

A loyal dog moves to a rural family home with his owner Todd, only to discover supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. As dark entities threaten his human companion, the brave pup must fight to protect the one he loves most.
