Me at the end of the movie: “This dog needs therapy.”

Good Boy (2025) is one of those horror films that hooks you more with its concept than pure fear factor. Told entirely from a dog’s perspective, it’s a surprisingly emotional and eerie ride. The cinematography is especially interesting, everything feels a little off-kilter, like you’re seeing the world through a creature that senses things humans can’t.

It’s not the scariest horror movie out there, but it nails a few solid jump scares that’ll make you clutch your popcorn. The pacing starts a bit slow, yet it pays off in the last act with an ending that makes you go, “Wait, what just happened?” in the best way possible.

At just under an hour and a half, it’s a quick watch that doesn’t overstay its welcome, perfect for when you’re in the mood for something weird, creepy, and a little heartbreaking.

If you like horror films that experiment with perspective and atmosphere rather than gore, Good Boy is worth a watch. Just… maybe give your own dog a hug afterward.

GeekGirlManila Rating: 7.5/10

A unique, well-shot horror film that’s more emotionally unsettling than terrifying.
