The horror film GOOD BOY, which unfolds entirely from a dog's point of view, is set to open in Tokyo on July 10. The film stars Indy, the dog of director Ben Leonberg. A special visual released ahead of the premiere shows Indy staring at an evil presence invisible to humans. Collaboration goods featuring artwork by Numagata Watari, Gakiya Isamu, and Hardcore Chocolate will be sold at theaters.
GOOD BOY has already won animal performance awards at SXSW and the Astra Film Awards. A making-of video released in late June reveals the techniques used to elicit performances from Indy, including treats and bird calls. The production prioritized Indy's comfort and earned a PETA award for ethical treatment of animals on set. The video directly addresses audience concerns about animal welfare by showing the off-screen care that contrasts with the on-screen horror.
