Good Boy drops audiences into this scary terrain, centering its haunted house story on a dedicated dog who is desperately trying to warn his human bestie about the supernatural threats closing in. Focusing on a dog in danger is a bold move.

Good Boy, a new scary movie told entirely from a dog's POV, just premiered at South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas – and it's already being called "one of the best horror films of the year".

Good Boy, about a dog protecting its owner from ghosts only he can see, is a fun genre exercise that stretches its premise to its logical limits.

Premiering at SXSW, Ben Leonberg's ghost story unfolds entirely from a dog's perspective.
