About This Movie

Kennel (2023) is an intriguing piece of horror that plays with the thin line between the mundane and the macabre. Pat Hedlund, a dog therapist, finds herself in a twisted situation after an unexpected house call. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing keeps you on edge without feeling rushed. The practical effects, though not overwhelming, serve their purpose and enhance the unsettling vibe. It’s interesting to see how Sound Speed utilized their 48-hour limitation to craft something that feels cohesive yet raw. The performances, especially that of the lead, have this grounded quality, adding to the realism of the horror. Overall, it’s a unique take on the horror genre that stands out in its own right, especially within the context of a tight timeframe.
