Sick Puppy(2026)

Rather than centering on the murderer, the story follows Charlie, who is complicit in her husband John's crimes. When he agrees to quit killing for her, she buys him a pottery wheel as an anniversary gift to help distract him from his "addiction."

Multiple festival reviewers noted the film's darkly comedic tone works best when it's razor-sharp, but argued the final act lingers too long — with one critic writing that had it "wrapped up about fifteen minutes earlier, it might have landed much stronger."

Reviewers describe the film as blending "absolutely ridiculous humour" with genuinely vile horror, creating a tone that shifts between domestic drama, dark comedy, and graphic thriller — a mix some critics found ingeniously twisted and others felt was uneven.
