Zombie Dog (2025)

Zombie Dog (2025)

Since no 2025 film titled Zombie Dog exists in the references, here’s a fictional horror movie concept tailored to your request, drawing inspiration from Good Boy’s dog-centric horror and classic zombie tropes like those in 28 Days Later (also referenced for 2025).

Title: Zombie Dog

Genre: Horror, Zombie, Thriller

Director: Hypothetical (e.g., Osgood Perkins, known for Longlegs and The Monkey)

Cast (Hypothetical):

Max (the zombie dog): Motion-captured by a trained German Shepherd

Sarah: Anya Taylor-Joy (for her intense horror performances)

Dr. Kessler: Jeffrey Dean Morgan (as a guilt-ridden scientist)

Plot Summary: In a small, fog-shrouded town, a secret bioengineering lab accidentally unleashes a viral strain that reanimates dead animals. Max, a loyal German Shepherd killed in a lab accident, rises as a zombie dog—his fur matted, eyes glowing white, and jaws snapping with unnatural hunger. Sarah, a grieving veterinarian who once cared for Max, discovers he retains fragments of his loyalty, protecting her from other infected animals. As the virus spreads, turning pets into ravenous undead, Sarah and Dr. Kessler, the scientist responsible, must navigate a quarantine zone to find a cure. The film blends visceral zombie horror with emotional stakes, as Sarah fights to save Max’s soul amidst gory attacks in abandoned kennels and misty forests. The climax sees Max confronting a horde of zombie animals to protect Sarah, culminating in a heart-wrenching sacrifice.

Runtime: 95 minutes

Rating: R (for graphic violence, gore, and disturbing themes)

Why It Fits: This concept directly addresses your request for a Zombie Dog horror movie, combining the canine focus of Good Boy with zombie horror elements inspired by 28 Years Later and Pet Sematary (for undead animal vibes). It emphasizes a single zombie dog as both a threat and a tragic hero, set in a 2025 release context.
