The next spooky movie just got an exciting twist that you didn’t know you needed. The Good Boy trailer has just been released, revealing that the upcoming horror film is told from the perspective of a dog.
Directed by Ben Leonberg with a script from Leonberg and Alex Cannon, the movie follows a dog who moves to a rural home with his owner, Todd, only to face supernatural forces. The movie will be released by horror streamer Shudder and IFC, and will head to theaters on October 3.
Check out the Good Boy trailer, which sets an eerie and novel experience.
This delightful and fresh spin on classic haunted house movies is something fans didn’t know they needed. Indy, the canine and leading star of Good Boy, won the first-ever “HOwl of Fame” award at the 2025 SXSW Film and TV Festival in March for his performance.
The festival’s jury said in its announcement, “Through a uniquely authentic perspective in the horror genre, this goodest boy delivers a performance that is both natural and chilling.”
“His responses to unseen phenomena transform everyday domestic spaces into realms of suspense and terror. Indy and his humans remind us that even when darkness threatens to consume us, a faithful dog’s love knows no bounds.”
The official logline reads, “Soon after moving in, Indy is immediately vexed by empty corners, tracks an invisible presence only he can see, and is haunted by visions of the previous occupant’s grim death.”
The logline adds that Indy “must battle a malevolence intent on dragging his beloved Todd into the afterlife.”
Leonberg talked about the film to Filmmaker Magazine, saying, “This isn’t Air Bud or Lassie, where the dog is always happy-go-lucky, clearly acting for food or listening to an off-camera trainer.”
“My goal was to have Indy behave and act realistically — or as realistically as possible, given the film’s supernatural events. He’s not imbued with a voice nor directed by abstract thought, but by instinct, sensation, and simple reasoning.”
The movie will be released in theaters on October 3, so make sure to watch the Good Boy trailer and prepare for an engrossing film.
