Dog Food
When Declan loses his dog and best friend, Ralphie, his life starts to unravel.
Why it matters
A raw, unsettling dive into grief that uses body horror and psychological dread to explore loss and identity.
- Practical effects elevate the film’s visceral moments, with grotesque transformations that echo Declan’s mental unravelling.
- A slow-burn character study cloaked in folk horror and creature feature trappings—more about mood than monster.
- For fans of David Cronenberg’s body horror and the intimate terror of films like The Babadook.
- Uneven pacing and narrative opacity may frustrate some, but the film’s atmosphere and ambition reward patient viewers.
