While William Brent Bell has yet to make a good movie – I don’t like Stay Alive, The Devil Inside or WER – I’m really stoked to catch The Boy, which stars “The Walking Dead’s” Lauren Cohan.
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.”
A final trailer has just been released that adds one really great scene – when Cohan’s character proves the doll is alive. All sorts of insanity ensues.
The Boy comes to life this Friday, January 22, 2016.
