Red (2008)
Red is a 2008 thriller film about a couple of kids who kill the title character, a dog named 'Red', during an attempted robbery. The dog's owner finds out who they are, and tries to bring them to justice by informing the authorities. However, this amounts to nothing, so he decides to dish out his own brand of retribution. The film was directed by Trygve Allister Diesen and Lucky McKee. The screenplay—an adaptation of the novel by Jack Ketchum—was written by Stephen Susco. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008.
