A new trailer for the unsettling horror film Good Boy has been released, promising a terrifying and innovative take on the genre. The film, which has already garnered praise at several film festivals, is a chilling experience told entirely from the perspective of a dog.
The trailer gives viewers a glimpse into the home life of a young man, Todd, and his adorable new dog, Indy. As the trailer progresses, the film’s sinister nature is revealed through the dog’s eyes. When the dog moves to a rural family home with his owner, the dog discovers supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. The official synopsis reads, “Our canine hero, Indy, finds himself on a new adventure with his human owner — and best friend — Todd, leaving city life for a long-vacant family home in the country. From the start, two things are abundantly clear: Indy is wary of the creepy old house, and his affection for Todd is unwavering. After moving in, Indy is immediately vexed by empty corners, tracks an invisible presence only he can see, perceives phantasmagoric warnings from a long-dead dog, and is haunted by visions of the previous occupant’s grim death. When Todd begins succumbing to the dark forces swirling around the house, Indy must battle a malevolence intent on dragging his beloved Todd into the afterlife.”
The film’s unique point of view is what has critics buzzing, creating a sense of unease and vulnerability as the story unfolds. The film stars Shane Jensen, Arielle Friedman and Larry Fessenden. Good Boy is set to be released on October 3 in theaters.
