Earlier we shared a batch of images, now snuggle up with four clips from William Brent Bell’s (Stay Alive, The Devil Inside and WER) The Boy, which stars “The Walking Dead’s” Lauren Cohan.
One clip shares some “brew talk,” while another sets up a fake scare. The other two, well, set the stage for a weird ass horror film about a doll seemingly possessed by an evil boy.
In The Boy , “Greta (Cohan) is a young American woman who takes a job as a nanny in a remote English village, only to discover that the family’s 8-year-old is a life-sized doll that the parents care for just like a real boy, as a way to cope with the death of their actual son 20 years prior. After violating a list of strict rules, a series of disturbing and inexplicable events bring Greta’s worst nightmare to life, leading her to believe that the doll is actually alive.”
The Boy comes to life on January 22, 2016.
