The Boy (2016) Horror Thriller Mystery

The Boy (2016) Movie Release Dates / Movie Details

Updated: September 14, 2024

The Boy Plot Synopsis:

Greta 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.

William Brent Bell"s The Boy (2016) is not your average scary doll movie. More like a killer doll movie. We posted the trailer a few weeks ago and had been interested ever since. The haunted doll reminds me of Robert the Doll, but in a much scarier way. The Boy releases in movie theaters this upcoming January 22, 2016. Lauren Cohan, Jim Norton, Diana Hardcastle, Ben Robson, Rupert Evans, and James Russell star in The Boy.
