Unleash the Nightmare: 'Good Boy' Trailer Reveals a Twisted Family Secret

Prepare yourselves, horror fanatics, because IFC Films and Shudder have just unleashed the spine-tingling trailer for their latest acquisition, the Norwegian horror sensation "Good Boy." And trust us, this isn't your average creature feature. It's a deeply unsettling dive into a family dynamic so twisted, it might just leave you questioning your own perception of reality.

The film introduces us to Sigrid, whose new romance with Christian takes an immediate, bizarre turn when she's introduced to his "dog," Frank.

Frank isn't just any canine companion; he's a grown man who behaves like a dog, living under Christian's roof. Sigrid's initial confusion quickly spirals into horrifying realization: Frank is Christian's adult son, and he’s fully committed to living life as a household pet, complete with a terrifyingly realistic dog costume.

What begins as an awkward, almost darkly comedic scenario rapidly descends into a chilling psychological nightmare.

The trailer masterfully teases the escalating tension as Sigrid struggles to comprehend, and then escape, the deeply disturbing reality of Christian and Frank's relationship. The horror isn't just in the unsettling premise, but in the psychological manipulation and the suffocating sense of entrapment Sigrid experiences.

Is Frank a victim, a willing participant, or something far more sinister? The film promises to explore the darkest corners of human behavior and familial bonds stretched beyond recognition.

Directed by the visionary Viljar Bøe, "Good Boy" stars Gard Løkke as the enigmatic Christian and Katrine Lovise Øpstad Fredriksen as the increasingly terrified Sigrid.

Bøe crafts a unique blend of absurdity and genuine terror, pushing boundaries and challenging audiences to confront a truly unconventional horror narrative. The film dares to ask: how far would you go for family, and what secrets are truly unforgivable?

Mark your calendars, because "Good Boy" is set to haunt select theaters, Digital, and VOD platforms starting August 16.

For those who prefer their scares on the streaming side, the film will make its exclusive Shudder premiere just in time for Halloween, on October 25. Don't miss this opportunity to witness a horror film that's anything but predictable.
