20 Recent Movie Plot Twists NOBODY Saw Coming
6. Todd Dies - Good Boy
The tragic irony of the recent indie horror hit Good Boy is that audiences got so preoccupied worrying over the fate of the central canine, Indy, that they didn't spare much thought for the film's human protagonist, Todd (Shane Jensen).
The pre-release discourse surrounding the movie largely consisted of folks expressing interest in the film but not wanting to watch a film where a dog dies, enough that some outlets flat-out spoiled the dog's fate in their reviews.
That is to say, Indy survives to the end of Good Boy.
In a devastating final twist, though, Indy's owner Todd sadly succumbs to the supernatural entity pursuing him throughout the film, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the debilitating, chronic lung disease he suffers with throughout the story.
Seeing Indy unable to help his owner and instead be forced to accept his death ends the film on one hell of a heart-wrenching note - just not the one so many expected when an adorable doggo was in the mix.
