One of the favorites from SXSW 2025 – and the winner of the fame award from the festival – Good Boy comes to theaters this autumn to scare audiences. Dog lovers, in particular, will be shaken.
The premise is simple: a dog in a persecuted house is aware of the spirits his owner does not see. It is ruthless to watch this play unfold, not only because audiences tend to feel for dogs more deeply than human characters. This is because co-author/director Ben Leonberg has a real star in India, a family dog, who turns out to be an exciting presence on screen. Both work together as you would expect from a person and a man’s best friend.

In a review from SXSW, I cheered: “India is just a star from his first frame. His dark eyes, floppy ears and sweet expression make him immediately endearing. More than that, he’s game for whatever Leonberg throws at him.”
Each rhythm could be known for the genre of the persecuted home, but this feels fresh thanks to the furry star at its center. This trailer gives you a taste of what Leonberg has in store, and also some of the praise Good Boy has already garnered from critics.
Be warned: This one ordered me to skip the screen.Do you think you can handle it?
Good Boy opens in theaters on October 3.
