In the UK and Ireland, “Good Boy,” an innovative horror film narrated from a dog’s point of view, is set to debut in cinemas on October 10th.

Ben Leonberg’s first movie centers around a dog who begins to perceive strange, otherworldly happenings in its new home. Upon moving with owner Todd to a remote family house in the countryside, the central pooch encounters visions of the former resident’s demise and receives ghostly messages from a deceased canine companion.

As Todd starts getting dominated by a sinister power, the synopsis goes that his loyal dog has to battle against the wicked entities to rescue his dearest companion.
