Most films produced out of Big Sky Country are Westerns, thrillers, or dramas. The most well-known films shot in Montana include A River Runs Through It, A River Wild, and A Montana Story.

We often don't see sci-fi or horror films made in Montana, but there are a few.

The Academy Award-nominated sci-fi film Arrival, and there is a Western horror movie called The Organ Trail, but that's about it for those genres.

Well, a new horror film made a massive splash at a film festival and features a Montana State professor and his dog.

Good Boy Horror Movie

This movie has an interesting point of view.

A new horror movie debuted during South By Southwest's film festival and made a massive impression with critics and fans.

Good Boy is about a loyal dog who tries to protect his family from supernatural forces in a rural home.

The movie was written and directed by a Montana State assistant professor, Ben Leonberg, and stars his dog, Indy.

Why is this movie making the news? The movie is from Indy's point of view the entire time.

The movie was such a hit at South By Southwest that they gave Indy the Howl of Fame Award.

The reviews from Good Boy have been very positive. They also credit Indy for being the best dog in the face of danger.

Plus, they give Indy's owner kudos for a unique idea for a horror movie.

Good Boy is waiting to be picked up by a major studio for a wide release in 2025.

Studios like Neon, A24, and Shudder could be the frontrunners acquiring this film.
