Good boy This is a horror film, unlike any other. We saw films with ghosts of the house, but instead of focusing on screaming adolescents or fearless investigators -germs, this is told from the point of view of the dog. (New Scotland Duck Retriever, to be precise.) In Good boyIndie, the puppy, must protect its owner when supernatural forces are closed in their remote cabin.
Initially, a limited release was planned, this SWIFT 90-minute thriller received a wide release after his trailer became viral, and people flocked to Google to be to Find out if indie survivesThe field we will not spoil the final here, but if you are curious where the idea is Good boy First, we covered you.
The original director Ben Leonberg, who is also the real owner of Indy, says that he wants to create this film to use the fears that every dog owner shares.
“I think this comes from the thought or, possibly, worry about each owner of the dog, that:“ Why does my dog do not bark at anything or look at anything? “, – says Leonberg Polygon. “There is probably a completely true reason for this, but the human imagination cannot help but think about the worst, think about ghosts. I wanted to play in this concern. Then, in the process of script and shooting, it was to find out how to tell a story that really blocks this point of view, where we limit ourselves to everything that the dog can understand how the way this story unfolds. ”
Good boy Experimentally, in the best case, immediately connecting the audience with the main character that you help, but for care and get sick, copes well with the exposition and uses dialogue from other characters, especially after our main character cannot speak.
Leonberg insists that his dog does not give an idea, but rather the art of a film that gives the life of each scene. Indi is one of the most innocent main characters in the history of the cinema, and this is not lost for his director.
“I think that indie is probably all dogs, all animals, are a kind of cheat for tensioning the audience hearts because they are innocent,” says Leonberg. “They do not know what is in the film. And there is a really interesting lesson only about the performance that he does not act. I can’t say that enough, he does not know that he was in the film, but thanks to film production, sound design, music, pictures, lighting, you can somehow convey emotions and sensation of it – something otherwise. How to feel, and then they put these emotions. Wow, I'm afraid. So the dog should be scaredHe is not a field. He is just trying to find out what his mom and dad are doing. ”
Even up to the dog’s breed, everything was taken into account to nourish the reaction of the audience.
“I think we are a dog like Indie,” says Leonberg, pointing to the pet sitting after him. “He is not very large, he is only 19 inches in height. The camera lives 19 inches from the ground, which was difficult in film production. But I do not know if you want a big kitchen -network -ubernard; This would be such a formidable opponent for the supernatural. ”
Indie is a little small when it comes to animals that can fight the supernatural.
“How could he succeed? This is really good for history, ”says Leonberg. “Also smelly dear.”
