'Good Boy' kicks off series at Beowulf Alley Theatre
Given today's cover story in Caliente, which is all about dogs, you might think that "Good Boy" is a sweet little film about everybody's best pal.
But this ain't no shaggy dog story, my friends.
Patrick Roddy's "Good Boy" is about a human animal who likes to keep young women, and eventually one very unlucky young man, chained up for his own devious purposes. He makes them eat dog food, among other indignities.
This creepy and darkly humorous effort will be shown at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday as the official grand opening of Beowulf Alley Theatre Company's IndeFliks @ The Alley series. Tickets are $5.
Starring Josh Marcantel (at left above, with Tommy Cole) as a guy who strays into the hands of the wrong people, "Good Boy" also features Tiffany Shepis and Gary Shannon.
Produced by Roddy and fellow Tucsonan Brian McLaughlin, along with Louisiana producer Ken Henderson, the movie was filmed in and around Lake Charles, La. All of the post-production work was done in Tucson.
Beowulf Alley is at 11 S. Sixth Ave.
