When young Victor's pet dog Sparky (who stars in Victor's home-made monster movies) is hit by a car, Victor decides to bring him back to life the only way he knows how. But when the bolt-necked "monster" wreaks havoc and terror in the hearts of Victor's neighbors, he has to convince them (and his parents) that despite his appearance, Sparky's still the good loyal friend he's always been.

🔍 Search on JustWatch →The film operates honestly within the horror genre: doesn't rush to frighten, lets the space breathe with anxiety. It's about the feeling of wrongness — slow, but relentless.
The film doesn't rush. That's its greatest strength and greatest risk: if you're not ready for slow horror — it will exhaust you. If you are — it won't let go.
For viewers who need sustained tension, not just a collection of scary moments.
