Vertigo Releasing is paw-sitively excited to announce that the highly anticipated new horror, Good Boy, will be coming to UK & Irish cinemas from 10th October.
This game-changing supernatural horror is told from an entirely new perspective, that of man’s best friend. Star of the movie, Indy, has already received acclaim for his gripping performance, winning SXSW Film Festival’s coveted “Howl of Fame Award”.


Directed by Ben Leonberg (The Fisherman’s Wife) and produced by Kari Fischer, who are both Indy’s real-life humans, Good Boy has already gained a devoted following. The film’s cult status continues to soar among both fans and critics, with the film now boasting an impressive 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes*.
Critics have praised the film, with Dread Central saying it is “primed to be one of the most chilling movies of 2025.” However, future fans have only been able to angst over Indy’s fate. The film’s recent trailer launch has caused a 2000% Google spike in searches over the film’s ending.


Good Boy follows a loyal dog as he moves to a rural family home with his owner, Todd, only to discover supernatural forces lurking in the shadows. As dark entities threaten his human companion, the brave pup must fight to protect the one he loves most.
Good Boy (2025) will be available in UK & Irish cinemas from 10th October
