Watch Dog Bites Man (2024) Official Trailer

Are we on the brink of a new American civil war?

In Dog Bites Man, two men (Evo and Darm) try to survive the night in their rented farmhouse after they suspect that their closest neighbor and/or other natives have declared war on them. Throughout the night, moments of comedic bickering between the charismatic and quick-witted men are juxtaposed with moments of violence, hatred, fear, insomnia, and threats of death. The saga is like a sustained duet in an opera, set against a backdrop of threatening, overweight, or possibly imaginary forces. As Evo and Darm attempt to understand why the neighbor and/or other locals would declare war on them, it becomes evident that the two men are outsiders, gourmets, and brandy aficionados, and those sins may be reason enough.
