DOGMAN3: Fight to the Finish

Director: Richard Douglas Brauer
Narrative Feature, United States, 2024, 90 min, Color

Synopsis

The last time Hank Purvis (Larry Joe Campbell) saw a Dogman, it was 7 years ago on a lone country road… dead. Everyone thought that was the end of them.

They were wrong.

Hank now finds himself caught in the middle of it again and it's personal this time.

He gathers his allies from past Dogman encounters and together they embark on what they hope is their final confrontation with the unpredictable and terrifying beast.

This time, it’s for keeps.
