Dog's Eye View: Horror Film Revolutionized
22 Nov
Summary
- Filmed entirely from a dog's perspective over three years.
- Dog star Indy had no prior acting experience.
- The film gained viral attention, leading to wider release.
Ben Leonberg's independent horror film 'Good Boy' stands out as a highly inventive cinematic achievement, capturing its narrative entirely through the eyes of his dog, Indy. Leonberg dedicated three years to this ambitious project, documenting the unique process and its challenges.
The film centers on Indy, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, who begins to see a spectral presence in the home he shares with his owner. Filmed in Leonberg's own home to ensure Indy's comfort and authenticity, the production required creative solutions, such as using food to guide Indy's movements.
'Good Boy' achieved viral fame when audiences expressed concern for Indy's well-being, propelling the film to a wider theatrical release. Critical and audience reception has been largely positive, with Indy even humorously penning an open letter seeking an Oscar nomination. The film is currently available for streaming.
