DOGMAN TERRITORY: WEREWOLVES IN THE LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES (2024)
Apparently, this is from a batch of cryptid documentaries produced by Small Town Monsters. I'm into cryptozoology, but I have to admit that I didn't know squat about the Dogman of Kentucky (or Texas). This is an engaging concatenation of interviews with experts and locals. I can appreciate that director Seth Breedlove was pushing this project uphill, as it's hard to present facts in an arena that is built on supposition and hearsay. As for the topic at hand, I hate to say it, but...I'm not sold on the existence of "dogmen." A lot of the legend stems from a tragic event referred to as the LBL Massacre. It's a great campfire story, but there is a dearth of hard evidence. And that's putting it mildly. Still, there are books and other films on the subject. I recommend forming your own opinion. In other words, don't listen to me. Keep reading, though?
The root story at the heart of this motion picture is interesting. I'll listen to any spooky yarn that involves government cover-ups, especially when black helicopters just happen to fly over during key interviews. That had to be planned, right? I'm a cynical guy who watches pro-wrestling, so I assume that everything is a work. Whether Dogman Territory is bogus or not, it's certainly worth checking out, even if it doesn't sway the viewer into loading up on silver bullets. At the very least, it adds a layer of mysticism to Random Werewolf Month. Hey, it's readymade material for your next horror marathon. You bring the moon, and I'll bring the flea repellent.
