A troubled group of children living on the same block are haunted by a talking dog named Labby who brings them on surreal hell-rides between different dimensions and time periods.

Why it matters

A nightmarish descent into cosmic and psychological horror that shatters conventional storytelling with hallucinatory brutality.

  • David Firth’s unrelenting animation blends grotesque body horror with surrealism, pushing the limits of indie horror cinema.
  • A kaleidoscopic nightmare that refuses to sanitize trauma, confronting viewers with raw, unsettling themes.
  • For fans of experimental horror and cosmic dread — this is a fever dream where time fractures and innocence dissolves.
  • Not for the faint of heart or coherence-seekers, but a cult underground milestone in boundary-pushing horror animation.
