The New ‘Good Boy’ Trailer Puts the Dog in Dog Horror

Good Boy is a horror movie told from a dog’s point of view, and the film’s final trailer makes sure you understand that by emphasizing what looks to be an extremely charismatic canine performance. While it’s a bit of a gimmick, it makes sense: dogs have vastly superior senses of hearing and smell compared to humans.
