The Horror Story ‘Good Boy’

The film “Good boy“, directed by Ben Leonberg, surprises by telling the story through the eyes of the dog Indy, a faithful Nova Scotia Retriever who accompanies his owner, Todd, through long days and nights marked by fear. After moving into an old family home, Todd begins to be tormented by supernatural forces that turn his life into a nightmare.

Even in the midst of chaos, Indy does everything he can to protect his owner, which makes the end of “Good Boy” even more emotional. Consumed by a lung disease, Todd becomes aggressive and, in a fit of anger, locks the dog outside the house.

The lights flicker and silence takes over. Indy realizes the danger and, when the pest tries to drag him into the current, he reacts courageously. The scene ends with the house collapsing to the ground.

Inside the house, Todd, on the verge of death, lies down exhausted and takes his last breath. Suddenly, Indy appears at his side and the two exchange a final gesture of affection. Todd realizes he is dead when he sees his body still lying on the bed.

Eventually, the entity takes Todd to the basement and Indy attempts to save him once again, in vain. The owner greets him by saying that he is “a good boy”, but that he cannot save him, and he is dragged away by the supernatural.

The dog becomes trapped in the basement and is later found by Todd’s sister. Before leaving, Indy turns around, and hears the owner’s whistle for the last time, in a few tense minutes Indy looks at the dark basement, but, also reluctantly, accepts the farewell and runs to the woman.

What is the message of the movie ‘Good Boy’?

The plot features themes such as the difficulty in accepting help and the burden of seeking treatment too late. Todd’s mysterious lung disease can be seen as a metaphor for this, an illness that slowly consumes him, while the faithful Indy watches, unable to do anything.

From this perspective, all the terror that takes place in the house can be interpreted as the vision of the dog, which sees the pain of loss and the fear of saying goodbye to its owner through supernatural manifestations. The haunting would therefore be a symbolic representation of mourning and helplessness in the face of death.

But for those who prefer a more literal reading, the ending also leaves room for classic horror. The evil presence has inhabited the house for generations, draining the vitality of those who live there and bringing its victims to the basement, the same fate that would befall Todd’s grandfather years earlier.
