From a canine\u2011centric indie hit to a classic masterpiece by a genre legend, and a brand\u2011new zombie sequel that promises to reignite the undead craze, there\u2019s something for every taste.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"1-good-boy-2025-the-first-dog-perspective-horror\">1. <em>Good Boy<\/em> (2025) \u2013 The First Dog\u2011Perspective Horror<\/h2>\n<p>One of last year\u2019s breakout indie horrors, <em>Good Boy<\/em> is finally arriving on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hulu.com\/search\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hulu<\/a> this month. The film, written and directed by Ben Leonberg, follows the unsettling journey of Indy, a golden retriever, and his owner Todd (Shane Jensen) as they move into a secluded cabin to care for Todd\u2019s ailing grandfather.
