Good Boy is a horror movie in 2025 about a dog named Indy who tried to take care of his sick owner. They moved to an isolated home that once belonged to the owner’s late relative. While living, the dog began seeing a mysterious dark figure that seemingly is the cause to the early death the owner’s family suffered from.

No more spoiler beyond here.

Nova Scotia Duck Tollers are pretty much my dream dog.

I don't think I can watch this in a theater. I'm going to need to be alone for it. I know the dog lives in the end, but also I know I'm going to have a flip-out about whatever happens, and I don't want to do it in public.
 
I dug it a lot as did the wife
It didn't really do a lot that other Ghosts Do Ghost Stuff but the dog gimmick is great and really works well

There's def some times you can sorta imagine there's really just a mildly confused dog with cameras and post-production filters, even without the behind the scenes at the end
but it worked well and I'm glad I went to see it in a theater. It's the sort of indie movie there should be more of (some rando and his immediate family make a movie) and I'm happy I spent money on it instead of Sequel The Reboot
 
I enjoyed the movie and especially appreciated the craftsmanship. Not the best movie I've seen this year, but it is one of the most impressive. I'm glad I saw it in a theater.

I liked that so much was left up to interpretation. My belief is the dark figure, while representing the shadow of impending death, was indeed an actual supernatural force related to some family curse. How else would we explain Indy receiving true information in his dreams (info that is later confirmed) that he couldn't have known otherwise? Because Indy is brave and selfless, but he isn't depicted as a superdog with humanlike intelligence.

maybe it's like 101 Dalmatians and he's really an ESPer dog from space
 
Crosspost from the horror thread:

I just rewatched Good Boy. It impressed me more on the second watch.

I noticed a few things the second time:

- The fox Indy sees might very well be a ghost. There's an extended shot of a taxidermied fox early in the film, the fox seems to disappear when Indy glances away for a moment (like many figures creepily do throughout the movie), and it, oddly, seems not to have been bothered by the numerous fox traps like the one Indy gets caught in.

Am I overthinking things? Probably. But it's possible.

- I like the little ways the haunted house seems almost to be alive. Like, the floodlight in the backyard seems to act independently, not really on a motion sensor, like an eye glaring at Indy.

- Two sections of the movie I found confusing the first time through: when Indy gets dragged (offscreen) into the sealed basement after finding the grandfather's armchair, and when his recently collapsed owner (seemingly possessed) follows him out of the house and rescues him from the fox trap.

Even more so than most films, this one is really made in the editing. And something about the sequence of events is hard to follow in those scenes.

- The soundtrack is absolutely excellent, and it really helps sell the events on screen.

- My favorite shot of the movie is when Indy breaks away from the ghost in the doghouse, bolts into the silent, wooded darkness... and then runs right back towards the house, and his master, with the score pulsing. Really great stuff.

Please give me the sequel with a disinterested cat.
