In Good Boy, a loyal dog named Indy, played by director Leonberg’s own canine, also named Indy, moves to a rural family home with his owner Todd, only to discover supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. As dark entities threaten his human companion, the brave pup must fight to protect the one he loves most.

Director Ben Leonberg said: “Stephen King, one of my biggest horror inspirations, often says he gets his ideas from ‘what if’ scenarios: What if an alcoholic writer was stranded with his family in a haunted hotel? (The Shining). What if a bullied teenager discovered she had telekinetic powers? (Carrie). Back in 2012, while revisiting the opening of Poltergeist, a ‘what if’ struck me that I couldn’t shake: What if the family dog was the only one who knew the house was haunted?

“Good Boy is the result of that question. It’s a grounded, paranormal thriller told from the perspective of a dog, a loyal, everyday companion thrust into extraordinary circumstances. This is his movie, one where his instincts, senses, and simple reasoning drive the story and storytelling. My dog, Indy, is the star, though he has no idea he’s in it. He has no understanding of marks or cues, and he spent most of the shoot napping. Yet his on screen presence is so magnetic that I put the whole movie on his oblivious little shoulders.”

After bringing out Good Boy and Yorgos Lanthimos’ debut feature Dogtooth, Vertigo Releasing also drops the Emma Thompson-starring thriller Dead of Winter on DVD and Blu-ray, with the Roy Keane vs. Mick McCarthy football hit Saipan also scheduled for release on DVD and Blu-ray on 23rd March.
