SOURCE-Shudder Blu ray
Heard about this movie last year and planned on watching it and just kind of forgot to. Earlier this year saw the blu ray was wanting something to watch early in the morning with my dog,Maggot Ass the Wonder Mutt,and put it on. But kept being distracted and really only half watched the film.Now having seen it fully,I see why it got loads of praise.
A man with a chronic lung illness moves into his grandfather's house way out in the woods. It is just him and his dog Indy. The man's sister is sure the house is haunted and that is what killed the grandfather. And Indy keeps seeing stuff that is spooky.
I was really surprised by this film. Went in not expecting that much,had heard early on the dog playing Indy was new to acting. And owning a stubborn dog I was figuring this would not work. Nope Indy is amazing. The sequence near the 3/4th mark with Indy figuring out how to escape being chained to his dog house was so well shot.
The various spirits and supernatural entities in the film got a spooky look to them. Which helps makes the film have this creepy vibe.
What can I say I'm a sucker for a film where the dog is the hero. And watching Indy try his best to save his owner got me right in the heart.
For extras we get a Making of and a BTS featurette. Plus a decent commentary with the director and the producer.
Now for me this was worth buying,and I keep a sub going to Shudder. Give this a watch to see one of the more unique modern horror films.
Good Boy gets a B+
