The animated horror film God’s Dog has just released its first stunning trailer, offering a glimpse of what’s to come when the film premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival. Directed by Lauris Abele and Raitis Abele, the film employs rotoscope animation and is set in the 17th century. It follows a woman accused of witchcraft, who, during her trial, uncovers the terrifying existence of werewolves.
The film’s plot centers on a woman who, while facing trial, discovers the existence of werewolves, blending historical events with supernatural horror. The movie reflects on the widespread fear of witchcraft and the brutal persecution carried out by the religious inquisition during that period.
God’s Dog was written by the Abele brothers, Ivo Briedis, and Harijs Grundmanis. The film’s global sales are managed by Media Move, while ESC Films secured the French distribution rights and plans to release it later this year. It has already made waves at the Cannes Film Festival, drawing significant attention from the industry.
One of the most talked-about moments from the trailer features a character who bears a striking resemblance to Adolf Hitler being subjected to torture. This chilling scene has sparked intense discussions, with viewers questioning its symbolic meaning. It appears to serve as a visual metaphor for the abuse of power and the brutal treatment of those deemed enemies by the authorities.
Blending historical context with supernatural horror, God’s Dog presents a fresh narrative approach, tackling both dark elements of human history and the fantasy genre. The filmmakers aim to challenge viewers’ perceptions of history and the boundaries between reality and imagination.
As the film heads toward its release, anticipation is building around this visually daring and thematically heavy animated horror film. Fans and critics alike are eager to see how it will be received on the big screen.
