GOOD BOY (UK PREMIERE) - 28 AUGUST
Good Boy is a chilling and twisted feature from up-and-coming Norwegian filmmakers, director Viljar Bøe and producer Karl Oskar Åsli (Til Freddy).
In this bold and original Scandinavian horror, Sigrid (Katrine Lovise Øpstad Fredrikse) thinks she’s met the perfect match with the charming and handsome Christian (Gard Løkke, Netflix’s Troll), but there is one catch - he lives with a man who acts like his pet dog. Trying to be open-minded, Sigrid continues the relationship but begins to notice an insidious under-tone to Christian. Maybe ‘puppy play’ isn’t as innocent as it seems.
Blue Finch Film Releasing presents Good Boy on digital platforms 11 September
UK premiere at FrightFest on 28 August
