GOOD BOY Trailer: A Supernatural Story From a Dog’s POV

And you can read the official synopsis for Ben Loenberg’s Good Boy right here:

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.

In a statement, the film’s director said “For three years, my wife (also the film’s producer) and I worked around his schedule—eliciting his ‘performance’ by making silly noises, posing him in specific positions, and enticing him around our ‘haunted’ house with treats. All shots with Indy were captured on closed sets so that we could maintain his focus, and I only ended up acting in it because I’m one of two people Indy truly loves and listens to.” The film’s tagline is “Trust his instincts.” And seeing as how dogs are smarter than most humans in horror movies, we think we will do just that.

Good Boy, produced by IFC and Shudder, hits theaters in North America on October 3.
