It Was Already Inside the House

When Ethan McCarthy and his wife buy their dream farmhouse in the countryside, the deal seems almost too good to be true. While his family stays in town, Ethan races against the clock to finish renovations before move-in day. But as the days drag on, strange signs appear — claw marks on porch posts, heavy footsteps circling the house, and eyes watching from the treeline. Each night, the torment escalates until Ethan realizes he’s not alone on the property. Something powerful, intelligent, and territorial calls the surrounding woods home.  

What begins as a renovation project quickly becomes a siege of fear. And one night, while resting in his recliner, Ethan discovers just how thin the line is between safety and horror — when the Dogman steps inside.
