This post contains spoilers For "Good Boy".

"Good Boy" asks the question, "What if a cute little puppy was endangered by supernatural entities for an hour and 10 minutes?" Why asks that question is not initially clear, but someone with a heart will surely have a much more important question: does the dog die in "Good Boy?" Without keeping you in the uncertainty longer than the film, lovers' dogs can be sure that this good boy really survives his difficult temptation. But it's not how to make it completely unwavering. As such, the lovers of animals will want to be cautious to enter this.

In 2023, the director for the first time Kyle Edward Bal stopped our collective repulsion in the idea of ​​the children to be injured by the malicious forces in what was one of the The worst films of the year, Skinamarink. The only thing that is worse, at least for anyone who ever knew the ection of man's best friend, must surely sit through a good hour of dog to be similar to endangered.

Although the premise at first may seem silly, when you really see a "good boy", it quickly becomes clear that you are witnessing a carefully crafted horror that uses your dog's centrical perspective not as a trick, but as an effective way to secure a real novel, to take the story of the haunted house, or as /as /how to post it, Evangelist. "Good Boy" is a real inventive and nasty. Much of that crate has increased due to the fact that it is going on a beloved, loyal rifle that is only trying to protect its owner. But it also makes certain scenes difficult to watch, and while the Indy dog ​​makes him live from a "good boy" alive, he must withstand a few pretty daunting experiences to do so. If you don't mind spoilers and you just have to know what's going on with this dog before you run, read on.

Directed by Ben Leonberg in his directorial debut, "Good Boy" shakes one of the biggest rules of horror By putting a dog in the center of terror. That dog is actually a puppy in Leonberg's real life, Indy, a duck from Nova Scotland, which reduces the retriever, which is essentially played in the film. The story follows Indi and its owner, Todd (Jane Jensen) as long as the abandoned family home in the country, which formerly belonged to Todd's grandfather (legendary indie horror maestro Larry Fessen, who also had Kimo in "Killers of the Flower Moon"). Once there, Indy immediately feels that something is excluded, and is soon haunted by the visions of the demonic creature and the deceased dog that used to belong to the grandfather. Meanwhile, Todd suffers from a terrible illness and is slowly revealing, making it incapable of giving indie loveube and the eco -curse. That, in itself, is one of the most disturbing things in the "good boy", as Indy often remains to care for himself despite being unwavering loyal to his illness owner.

As for the real horror, however, when Todd and Indy first move to their new home, things soon take up a disturbing twist, not because of no supernatural shenanigans - at least not initially. The first moment of lovers' dogs should be ready to come when Todd returns home as he suffers from fueling his illness, and Shoos Indy. After the dog continues to try to get closer to its owner Todd reacts angry, pushing the poor puppy forcibly in the first truly disturbing scene of the film. Dog owners will be forgiven for eavesdropping at the moment, but things are getting worse for indie.

As the "good boy" continues, Indy is attracted to a chair in the ceiling of the house where Todd's grandfather died, seemingly from the same illness that plagues his nephew. There, the dog is witnessing a vision of torturing the grandfather of the grandfather who causes him to get wet the carpet, before the creature that looks like a demon for paralysis of the basement sleep and appears behind Indy. Then we cut to Todd, revealing his dog in the basement, covered with dirt and clearly frightened.

Something is excluded with this withdrawal of forest areas, so when Todd disappears in the basement, indie naturally annoys and avoids the house in search of help. Here, we see him walking through the woods alone, frightened and desperate. It would all be bad enough, but the next thing we know indi has been in one of the many fox traps placed on the ground around the house.

When it comes, Todd reappeared, but insists he left Indy out, tied to his dog house in the rain. Shortly thereafter, the nightmare for habitats in the basement seems to terrorize Indy once again, just for the dog to escape and find its owner to succumb to his illness. Todd's eventual death is dramatized in a scene where it is dragged into the darkness under the house while Indy is helpless. Despite his best efforts to save his owner, he had nothing to do to stop the disease that eventually took Todd's life, leaving the loyal puppy to be by the end of the film.

Instead of being disturbed in a way "don't hurt the dog", then, "Good Boy" is really just a kind of sad. There is nothing to rise to the destruction of the film, just a loyal dog that loses its owner of an unnamed illness that he cannot understand. Then, in a way, it is worse to see that Indy survives without his owner to whom he remained so loyal during the film. Then, again, there is absolutely no way anyone would forgive Ben Leonberg for the murder of this good boy.

"Good Boy" is now in selected theaters.
