Morgan (Morgan Taylor) comes home to her wide-eyed boyfriend Mason (Mason Conrad) who says, with some level of sinister in his voice, “We got a dog.” He beckons for her to follow him through the dark to see it, but through that hallway is something…wrong.

Director and writer Ryan Valdez was the cinematographer on Day of the Mummy, The Virus and Eaters, as well as the director of two videos for Korn, “Insane” and “Black Is the Soul.” Despite how young his career is, this movie takes an incredibly simple story and delivers something truly special. I can’t wait to see what he does with a longer film and bigger opportunities.

I watched We Got a Dog as part of the shorts at Popcorn Frights.
