A haunted house horror film seen entirely through the eyes of man’s best friend? Meet Indy the dog, the titular Good Boy in the upcoming pic from first-time feature director Ben Leonberg, from a script he co-wrote with Alex Cannon.

In the film, “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.”

Good Boy stars Indy, director Leonberg’s real-life pup, as well as indie horror vets (pun intended) Larry Fessenden, Shane Jensen, and Arielle Friedman.

The film premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival to positive reviews.

Good Boy heads to cinemas on October 3rd, 2025. Watch the trailer below:
