Good Boy

Matt Roush says...

Just when you think you’ve seen every variation on the haunted-house story comes this compelling and clever indie thriller from director Ben Leonberg, who puts his own dog — a lovable retriever named Indy — front and center. Indy is our expressive eyes and attentive ears as he accompanies his ailing master, Todd (Shane Jensen), into his grandfather’s abandoned and spooky house in the woods. Indy is the first to notice the bumps in the night and assorted eerie visions as this loyal and watchful canine tries to protect Todd from succumbing to the house’s dark spell. It’s a riveting 73 minutes, and Indy is the best friend any man (or woman) would want to have.
