Good Boy operates from the perspective that Indy’s strenuous efforts, powered by his undaunted loyalty, are what matter. By the end, Indy and this movie deserve a treat.

Director Ben Leonberg clearly understands the power of dogs’ eyes. He uses them to intense visual and emotional effect in his feature debut, which brings a fresh gimmick to the horror genre: it’s all experienced from the perspective of a hound, played by his own Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, named Indy. In one memorable scene, Leonberg even delivers a superbly creepy jump-scare via a reflected image in an extreme close-up of one of Indy’s eyes. Now that never happened in Scooby-Doo.
