In this episode we dig into Good Boy (2025), a haunted-house horror told from the point of view of a loyal dog named Indy — an unusual, emotionally driven take on the genre that foregrounds animal instincts as our guide through dread.
Director Ben Leonberg—who co-wrote the film—casts his real-life dog Indy in the title role , creating a rare canine-led emotional core.
We’ll cover why the film’s perspective shift works (and where it strains), the standout practical filmmaking choices that sell a dog-centered POV, the performances that ground the story, and whether Good Boy balances heart and horror without tipping into gimmick.
