Synopsis
The Boy is a
frightening thrill ride directed by William Brent Bell (The Devil Inside)
starring Lauren Cohan ("The Walking Dead"). 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.
