The Boy Plot Synopsis:
An intimate portrait of a 9-year-old sociopath's growing fascination with death.
Craig William Macneill"s The Boy (2015) is being called one of the most psychological killer kid movies in recent history. After watching the trailer and the movie poster, that seems very accurate. The little boy does all types of evil things and escalates from terrorizing animals to attempting to kill people in the trailer. Not sure if I want to see this horror thriller movie but I am sure curious to do so. David Morse, Rainn Wilson, and Jared Breeze star in The Boy.
