“Come Play” With This Exclusive ‘The Boy’ TV Spot Exclusive

William Brent Bell (Stay Alive, The Devil Inside and WER) is tapping into the fear of dolls with a new take in STX’s upcoming horror, The Boy, which stars “The Walking Dead’s” Lauren Cohan.

Below we have an exclusive look at a new TV Spot that teases, “He may be dead, but he’s not gone.” There’s a nice lead up to some scares, including a phone call from Brahms to Greta, which is a huge change of pace for these promos.

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.
