59% Informative

Good Boy is a scary-as-hell watch for dog lovers.

The film centers on a dedicated dog who is desperately trying to warn his human bestie about the supernatural threats closing in.

With one clever gimmick, Good Boy brings fresh life to horror cliches.

Good Boy offers the goodest of boys, putting viewers in a vice grip of suspense.

Todd is far from a bad pet caregiver, but he is so caught up in his own problems that he's blind to everything Indy is experiencing.

Leonberg 's pacing is fitful, pitching Indy into new scenes of tension in basements, bedrooms, dog houses, and the wider woods.
