Good Boy

About This Movie

So, 'Good Boy' is this intriguing blend of comedy, horror, and thriller that really plays with the whole emotional support animal concept. Maggie, the lead, is struggling with anxiety and gets a dog, but not just any pup – this one’s a bit of a dark twist. The pacing moves nicely, keeping you guessing while balancing the absurdity and the darker themes. The practical effects are pretty clever, adding to the film's unique vibe. It’s interesting how it explores relationships and stress, but through a lens that’s both humorous and unsettling. The performances lean into the absurdity, making it all feel oddly relatable, even as you chuckle and cringe at the same time.
