The American Midwest, a rural area relatively untouched by humankind and under-investigated as of yet due to its massive size. As a result, the area might be the home of yet not properly discovered beasts that might have their roots entirely in mythology or might actually be the real deal, beasts like Bigfoot or ... the Dog Man (and this documentary makes it very clear that some Bigfoot-sightings might actually be Dog Man-sightings and vice versa. But more so than investigating the Dog Man's roots in both mythology and biology, this is a collection of eye witness accounts of encounters of Midwestern locals with the beast, encounters of an absolutely chilling nature ...

Now of course, whether you believe any of the eye witness accounts is entirely up to you, but what works for the movie is its horror-savvy directorial approach that includes special effects and atmospheric filmmaking that make the threat palpable, while research-wise Seth Breedlove and Heather Moser have clearly done their homework, as the film never once just tries to convince the audience of the existance of the Dog Man but presents the viewer with many an explanation for the phenomenon, some more likely than others, making this, no matter one's personal thoughts on the subject, a very interesting and engaging documentary.
