The wait is finally over! The trailer for the highly anticipated horror movie Good Boy has dropped, and it’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen. If you’re a horror fan with a dog, you’re definitely going to want to check this film out.
A Horror Film Like We’ve Never Seen Before
Shudder and IFC snagged the rights to this unique story, which is told entirely from a dog’s point of view. The film, which is the feature directorial debut of Ben Leonberg, is set to hit theaters this Fall.
A Terrifying Tale
The movie follows a dog named Indy, who moves with his human, Todd, to a new family home in the countryside. While Todd is loving their new life, Indy immediately gets bad vibes from the house’s creepy atmosphere. He begins to sense a sinister presence, seeing ghostly tracks and glimpses of a terrifying past. As a dark force starts to take hold of Todd, Indy has to fight to save his best friend. The film builds tension through the unbreakable bond between the two as they face a truly unimaginable terror.
The Star
Indy is a 35-pound retriever who has no idea he’s a movie star. He loves fetch, food, and his humans (in that order!). His special talents include finding tennis balls and staring deep into your soul right before dinner. Good Boy is Indy’s first feature film, following his breakout role in the short film of the same name. By all accounts, he’s a very good boy.
Emily Gotto from Shudder perfectly summed up the film’s unique appeal, calling it a “singular experience in perspective-driven horror.” She notes that by seeing the terror and determination through Indy’s eyes, the audience gets a truly haunting and emotional experience.
Get ready to see horror from a brand-new angle—through a very good boy’s loyal but terrified gaze. Good Boy howls into theaters on October 3, 2025, from IFC and Shudder.
