One of the year’s biggest indie horror hits, the critically acclaimed film Good Boy, is heading straight to Shudder! Good Boy is a film truly unlike any other: it tells its entire terrifying story from a dog’s point of view.
The film centers on Indy, an absolutely adorable dog who moves with his human, Todd, to his father’s old house. Indy immediately senses something is wrong. He begins seeing ghostly paw prints and creepy glimpses of the house’s sinister past. As a malevolent force begins to take over Todd, Indy must step up and be the hero, fighting a supernatural evil to save his best friend.
Ben Leonberg makes his directorial debut with this clever film, which he also co-wrote. Who better to star than his own real-life dog, Indy? The human cast features horror favorite Larry Fessenden, alongside Shane Jensen and Arielle Friedman.
In my review of the film, I noted that even in his debut, Leonberg builds tension like a true expert. The film is “eerie, intense, and clever,” and it promises to “hit you right in the feels.” If you are a dog lover, the film’s unique perspective and emotional intensity are guaranteed to get under your skin.
Get ready to see the world from a chilling new perspective when this unique film begins streaming on Shudder on November 21, 2025.
