“Not only has the scares but also a massive heart.” Indy the Dog!! 🐕 IFC Films has debuted another trailer for one of this year’s major indie horror breakouts titled Good Boy, a horror film told from the perspective of the “good boy” family dog. This is ready to hit theaters starting in early October as perfect horror season entertainment. The debut feature by filmmaker Ben Leonberg, this first premiered at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival earlier in the year. A loyal doggie named Indy moves to a rural home with his owner Todd, only to discover supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. As dark entities threaten his human companion, the brave pup must fight to protect the one he loves most. Good Boy stars Indy the Dog as Indy, with Larry Fessenden, Arielle Friedman, Shane Jensen, Anya Krawcheck, & Stuart Rudin. The reviews are pretty good, but don’t expect this to be the best horror film ever made. It’s really all about the pooch and his amazing time starring on screen in this – saving the day and fighting off ghosts. I can’t wait to watch! Enjoy.
Here’s the second trailer (+ poster) for Ben Leonberg’s horror film Good Boy, direct from IFC’s YouTube:

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 the 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 is directed by American indie genre filmmaker Ben Leonberg, making his feature directorial debut after many other short films previously. The screenplay is written by Alex Cannon and Ben Leonberg. Produced by Ben Leonberg & Kari Fischer. This first premiered at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival earlier this year. IFC Films opens Leonberg’s Good Boy film in select US theaters starting on October 3rd, 2025 this fall. Who’s ready to watch this? 🐶
