I am very excited to welcome Ben Leonberg to Necronomicast as my first guest of 2026!

Ben is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer known for his work in the horror and fantasy genres.

He wrote and directed "Good Boy", a supernatural thriller told from the perspective of a dog named Indy. The film explores themes of loyalty, trauma, and perception, using a canine point of view to drive the narrative.

"Good Boy" follows Indy and his owner, Todd, a young man with a chronic lung disease, as they move into Todd's late grandfather's rural home, where a malevolent supernatural presence gradually engulfs Todd, while his devoted dog attempts to rescue him.

Widely considered as one of the top ten independent films of 2025, "Good Boy" is regarded as "a visually striking, emotionally devastating horror film that eschews genre conventions to deliver a uniquely haunting and conceptually ambitious experience."

"Good Boy" is streaming now on Shudder!
