Dark Sky Films brings Sick Puppy to theaters and VOD. A twisted, darkly comedic character study that flips the serial killer genre by focusing not on the killer, but on the woman who loves him will be available on May 22, 2026. Charlie is determined to reform her murderous husband, convincing him to trade violence for pottery in a desperate attempt at a normal life. But as denial, devotion, and buried instincts collide, her efforts spiral into something even more disturbing. Blending unsettling humor with emotional depth, the film explores how far someone will go for love—and the terrifying cost of excusing the unthinkable.
