Breeder Trailer Reveals Dark, Absurd Poodle‑Breeder Horror

Alex Goyette’s feature debut, Breeder, has just released its first official trailer. The indie horror‑comedy follows a broke college student who is lured to a remote ranch by an eccentric poodle breeder, only to find himself in a twisted, darkly comedic situation. The film premiered at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival and recently screened at the Octopus Film Festival in Poland.

Plot Teaser: A Broken Student Meets a Poodle‑Breeder Villain

The trailer introduces Daniel Doheny as Russell, a student who receives a promise of research funding from a charismatic poodle breeder. The promise turns into a sinister catch: Russell must become the stud for the breeder’s next litter. The film’s premise is described as “WTF‑worthy” and “unpredictable horror,” blending absurdity with dark comedy.

Cast and Characters

Alongside Doheny, the film features Dot‑Marie Jones as Patti, the poodle breeder, Maddie Phillips as Ainsley, Tanaya Beatty, and Paige McGarvin. Jones’s performance is highlighted as a standout villain role, adding a layer of malevolence to the story.

Festival Highlights and Reception

After its Tribeca premiere, Breeder was showcased at the Octopus Film Festival in Poland, where it received praise for its “darkest of dark comedies” and “unpredictable horror ride.” The film’s unique blend of humor and horror has sparked interest among indie film enthusiasts.
