Our Review of Good Boy

TBU

What Worked

The dog’s POV shots make the horror feel unique and immersive.
Indy’s performance as the brave pup steals the show with real heart.
Blends scares with emotional depth about loss and loyalty nicely.

What Didn’t Work

Some might find it too slow or not scary enough for hardcore horror fans.
Human characters feel a bit thin compared to the dog.
Short runtime leaves you wanting more backstory.

Facts and Behind the Scenes

Good Boy was shot over a whopping 400 days across three years, mostly because filming with a real dog like Indy meant dealing with short shoots and lots of patience. Director Ben Leonberg used his own pet, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, and kept the crew super small sometimes just him and his wife handling props and body doubles. They filmed in a real New Jersey house, adding that authentic creepy vibe, and the camera was always at 19 inches high to match Indy’s height.

A fun tidbit not everyone knows: To get Indy’s perfect reactions, the team used quack sounds off-screen since he’s a duck-tolling breed, making him perk up just right. Indy even won the first-ever Howl of Fame award at SXSW for best dog performance. The movie skipped fancy effects, relying on practical stuff like shadows and mud for the ghosts, keeping costs low and the scares grounded.
