“Good Boy” Trailer: New Horror Film Told Entirely from a Dog’s POV Gets Terrifying First Look (Exclusive)

The highly anticipated horror film, “Good Boy,” takes a unique approach by telling the entire story from the perspective of a loyal pet dog. In an exclusive trailer released by PEOPLE, the film introduces viewers to a spine-chilling narrative seen through the eyes of Indy, the canine protagonist. Directed by Ben Leonberg, this indie horror flick made its debut at the SXSW Film & TV Festival earlier this year, receiving acclaim and subsequently being acquired by IFC and Shudder. Indy’s performance in the film even earned him the prestigious “Howl of Fame” award at the festival, highlighting his natural and eerie portrayal.

The trailer gives audiences a glimpse into a fresh take on the haunted house genre, with Indy’s character leading the narrative as he navigates through unsettling events in his new home. The story follows Indy and his owner, Todd, as they settle into a secluded family house in the countryside.
