Ben Leonberg Talks Good Boy, Horror & Indie Filmmaking

Ben Leonberg discusses his unique horror film Good Boy, its tension-building techniques, indie filmmaking, and the starring role of his dog Indy. The film is available now.

I chatted with Ben Leonberg, director-co-writer of the new horror film Good Boy, to unpack the film’s unusual take on this horror film.

We talked everything from how web fans still compare the film to the animated series Courage the Cowardly Dog to how Ben builds tension without ever using jump scares or buckets of gore.

He also weighs in on what really goes into making indie horror that stars his own dog, Indy, who has natural talent for the spotlight.

If you enjoy surreal narrative, offbeat horror, and the kind of film that will make you wince, then this one’s for you.

Good Boy is out now. Check out our full interview below.
