Description

In this episode of Grave Tone, Meaghan and Arthur dig into GOOD BOY—a supernatural chiller shot from a dog’s eye-level that’s been turning heads on the festival circuit and heading to a wider release via IFC/Shudder. We keep things spoiler-free, focusing on how the film’s third-person canine perspective reframes haunted-house language: blurred human faces, hand-centric framing, and long, shivery holds on dark corners.


We share anecdotes from the Fantasia screening, craft talk from the post-show Q&A, and why this specific dog (Indy!) makes the film unexpectedly emotional. We also touch on the “does the dog die?” anxiety spike, quick festival stats, and why 73 tight minutes is the perfect length for this kind of dread machine. If you’ve been on the fence, this ep is your nudge to see it cold.
