Good Boy 2025

The 2025 film Good Boy is a horror-thriller directed by Ben Leonberg and is notable for telling a haunted house story primarily from the perspective of a dog. The main character is a loyal Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever named Indy (played by the director's real-life dog, also named Indy), who moves with his owner and best friend, Todd (Shane Jensen), to Todd's late grandfather's secluded rural home after Todd is released from the hospital with a mysterious illness. Indy immediately senses a malevolent, supernatural presence in the old house, one that contributed to the grandfather's death and is now beginning to threaten Todd, whose health and behavior rapidly deteriorate. As the dark entity attempts to claim his human companion, Indy is forced to use his loyalty and instinct to fight the unseen foe. The film, which has a brisk 72-minute runtime and is rated PG-13, had its world premiere at the 2025 South by Southwest (SXSW) festival and saw a limited theatrical release in the US on October 3, 2025, with a wider international release shortly after. The cast also includes Larry Fessenden as Todd's grandfather and Arielle Friedman as Todd's sister, Vera. The movie has been praised for its unique perspective and the emotive performance of the canine lead. Read More
