Shudder’s new horror movie Good Boy, due to be released on the streaming service on October 3, has just released its heartbreaking first trailer. If you’ve not heard of the film before, it tells the story of a man and his dog moving into the supposedly haunted house of a recently deceased relative. That all sounds like standard genre stuff so far, but there’s a catch: this time, the terror unfolds from the perspective of the man’s dog, Indy (who’s playing himself).
Even reading that brief synopsis is enough to make me want to burst into tears, and so far, early reviews prove I’m right to feel like that. Described as the most heartbreaking horror of the year, Good Boy already has an epic Rotten Tomatoes critic score of 95%, and the social media reactions to its poster reveal were off the hook. Basically, if you’ve ever thought about getting a Shudder subscription, you’re going to need to do it by the end of September (it truly is one of the best streaming services around for indie horror movies).
