Good Boy (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Phil Hoad Guardian There is enough meat here – touching on digital dating etiquette and the underlying emotional viscera – for a Hollywood remake. Time for Matt Damon to wriggle into that furry outfit. Rated: 3/5 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Good Boy (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Erick Estrada Cinegarage The best example of Viljar Bøe's freaky, psychological horror. [Full review in Spanish] May 22, 2024 Full Review Good Boy (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Good Boy is an astute miniature that summons considerable power to disturb. I do wish its denouement hadn't been marred by some basic credibility issues, but the overall effect is nonetheless creepy as hell. Sep 19, 2023 Full Review Good Boy (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jon Mendelsohn CBR Norwegian horror flick Good Boy features a shocking storyline and plenty of jaw-dropping twists. Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Good Boy (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Norman Gidney HorrorBuzz A fiendish flick about relationships and power dynamics that leaves the viewer chilled to the bone. Rated: 7/10 Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Good Boy (2022) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Christian Toto HollywoodInToto.com Legitimately shocking thriller keeps us guessing until the final, unsettling frame.

Ash A One of the most atrocious movies I've seen in my life. Critics are absolutely insane for giving this movie a 94%. And I cannot be the only one who though the ending was incredibly sick, and not in a good way. Don't waste your time on this movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review davidson i horror??? no. scary, no...Awful movie??? YES Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Augusto H Este filme tem uma premissa bizarra e entrigante, porém o filme conta com falhas de roteiro, tendo momentos onde os personagens são muito burros fazendo ações que não fazem sentido nenhum, cenas que eram pra ser tensas mas não tem impacto tão grande, pouco desenvolvimento de personagens fazendo se importar muito pouco com a maioria deles. Mas apesar disso tudo, o filme tem apenas uma hora e vinte minutos e não agride tanto. Tenho a impressão de que se essa premissa fosse colocada nas mãos de outro diretor, como o de parasita, melhoraria muito o filme. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Courtney K not bad; it's a really interesting/creepy concept - & a little disturbing at the end there - I thought everyone played their parts well & the "twist", while expected, was effective. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/25/24 Full Review Sierra Lynn B I thought the story was interesting, the acting was good. It was a really creepy concept & I would recommend it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Craig B This was truly an odd movie.Very unique in its unsettling and creepy themes.Difficult to recommend, but if you are pressed for time (ie you have less than 80 minutes free) and you are up for something different, perhaps worth a look. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
