A Creepy Doll Comes Alive in Spooky Trailer For THE BOY

The Boy is one of the most generic titles imaginable, and based on the trailer for this unique horror thriller, I feel like it really does the film a disservice. Maybe there's some deeper meaning involved beyond what's presented in the trailer to justify it, but The Boy is just such a bland, forgettable title; I wish they could have come up with something better.

In any case, The Walking Dead's Lauren Cohan stars in this creepy-looking story of a babysitter who discovers the child she's supposed to take care of is actually a doll that looks like the parents' dead son. As you can probably guess, things get all sorts of crazy from there. The film arrives in theaters on January 22nd, 2016.

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 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.
