Good Boy Retells Stephen King’s Scariest Story (in Reverse)

Look, for years, *Cujo* pretty much defined animal horror – a terrifying dog turning bad. But a new film, released this year, is completely subverting that trope, and honestly, it’s brilliant. It’s quietly become a huge talking point, racking up a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Director Ben Leonberg takes the idea of a canine lead and flips it – instead of a monster, this dog is a hero. It’s a really interesting shift, and it feels like a sign of how much the horror genre has matured, becoming more about understanding and even *feeling* for its creatures.
