\n\tIn the official trailer<\/a> for Good Boy<\/a>, released Monday, Indy, a loyal dog, and his owner Todd (Shane Jensen) move to a new home but find paranormal activity lurking in the dark. As these evil forces encroach, the pup finds the courage to protect his owner and territory.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe preview kicks off with snippets of Indy as a pup with heartwarming messages on the screen including, \u201cman\u2019s best friend\u201d, \u201calways by your side\u201d and \u201cthrough the good times.\u201d The trailer then takes a scary turn, as the dog perks up following suspicious sounds in the dead of night.<\/p>\n

\n\tEerie knocking fills the silence in the house, and Indy heads over to investigate. The banging only grows louder as an unknown person pounds their forehead into a door. Indy barks loudly to alert Todd that something is wrong, but viewers are left on a cliffhanger as the clip sharply cuts away.<\/p>\n

\n\tA barrage of spooky scenes follow, with Todd\u2019s grandfather (Larry Fessenden) unleashing a bloodcurdling growl as the dog looks on. Fast paced clips of Indy fill the rest of the preview as he scampers through forests and keeps watch at night.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe official synopsis of Good Boy states: \u201cOur canine hero, Indy, finds himself on a new adventure with his human owner \u2014 and best friend \u2014 Todd, leaving city life for a long-vacant family home in the country. From the start, two things are abundantly clear: Indy is wary of the creepy old house, and his affection for Todd is unwavering.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGood Boy marks director Ben Leonberg\u2019s feature debut, and there is no better main actor for his first feature than his own dog, Indy.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Good Boy cast also includes Arielle Friedman, Anya Krawcheck and Stuart Rudin. The film premiered at the SXSW Film Festival back in March.<\/p>\n

\n\tIFC Films will release the film in North American theaters on Oct. 3, with the U.K. release following a week later on Oct. 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the official trailer for Good Boy, released Monday, Indy, a loyal dog, and his owner Todd (Shane…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79888,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[49,48,75,337,5337,1556],"class_list":["post-79887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-trailer","tag-trailers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
