IFC and Shudder today released the official trailer for the upcoming horror thriller, Good Boy, starring Indy, a middle-aged, 35-pound retriever who has no idea that he’s a movie star. Directed by Ben Leonberg, and produced by Leonberg and Kari Fischer, their dog Indy is the center of the film which will arrive in theaters on October 3.
The cast also includes Shane Jensen, Arielle Friedman, and Larry Fessenden. Good Boy is Indy’s feature debut following his break-out role in the short film of the same name.
The synopsis for Good Boy reads, “Our canine hero, Indy, finds himself on a new adventure with his human owner—and best friend—Todd, leaving city life for a long-vacant family home in the country. From the start, two things are abundantly clear: Indy is wary of the creepy old house, and his affection for Todd is unwavering. After moving in, Indy is immediately vexed by empty corners, tracks an invisible presence only he can see, perceives phantasmagoric warnings from a long-dead dog, and is haunted by visions of the previous occupant’s grim death. When Todd begins succumbing to the dark forces swirling around the house, Indy must battle a malevolence intent on dragging his beloved Todd into the afterlife.”
