Filmen Dog of God er lagt til 1600-tallet i den livlanske landsbyen Zaube, der det noe potensielt ondt og marerittaktig i luften. Landsbyens innbyggere føler det: fra pastorens løpegutt til den lokale vertshuspiken. En rettssak følger når pastoren anklager piken for hekseri, og en eldre mann hevder at han er en varulv rotfestet i latvisk folklore. Den resulterende spenningen vil forandre landsbyen for alltid, som skapt i en horror-påvirket feberdrøm. “a true visual feast and quite extreme” - FANGORIA “uncannily expressive, intensely violent, and perversely funny” - SLANT „a triumph of animation and storytelling that must be seen to be believed”- FILMHOUNDS “fans of midnight madness should look no further (…) not to be missed (…) animation is a delight to behold” - FILM INQUIRY „powerful animated horror (…) admirable audacity and freedom (…) obscure but taunting (…) spectacular, bold, uncompromising” – CINEMA DAILY US “surreal experience that feels like the mushroom trip from Hell” – DREAD CENTRAL “horrific, bloody, and grotesque while strangely hot and provocative” – ELEMENTS OF MADNESS “scatalogical, sexual, and violent (…) marvelously hypnotic (…) wild” – HORROR FUEL “most memorable tale (…) a wild ride with every viewing” – PEOPLES WORLD „haunting (…) you'll be wondering "what the hell is going on?"
