Good Boy

About This Movie

Good Boy (2025) is an interesting take on the horror genre. It centers on a dog named Max and his owner, Todd, who move into this old rural home. The atmosphere is thick with tension; you can almost feel the weight of the shadows. The practical effects definitely stand out—there’s something about how they portray the supernatural that feels raw and unsettling, not overly digital. Performances are solid, especially from the dog, who really channels that loyalty and bravery. It’s a bit slow in spots, but that gives you time to really absorb the creeping dread. Themes of loyalty and protection resonate deeply, which is a nice counterbalance to the horror elements. Overall, it’s a unique entry in the horror landscape.
