An American nanny is shocked that her new English family's boy is actually a life-sized doll. After violating a list of strict rules, disturbing events make her believe that the doll is really alive.

Bump since some people can't be bothered to scroll down half a page.

Jeez, way to be an ass. I said my mistake.

I searched for this today by Lauren Cohan, STX, and just The Boy and this thread did not come up for me. I was thinking it didn't have one. That happens a lot here with this search engine. I myself would have made a thread for it but was too lazy and I figured someone would soon.

It's not hard to miss it so I don't blame Chaotic. Simple mistake. Maybe the film's title should be first too.

Anyway, the film looks awesome. I'm looking forward to it. After The Gift I'm expecting quality when I see a movie is from STX Entertainment. We will see if they can keep it up.

Lauren Cohan is just so beautiful.

It's Remake, being an ass is kinda in the job description.

Anyone seeing this this weekend? It doesn't look terrible to me

I am. I love the look of the doll. Creepy.

It looks like the funniest film of January.

Arch Stanton · 01-21-2016, 09:38 PM

Saw a trailer for this before Revenant and it looked an absolute riot.

Lauren Cohan means it will eventually be seen.

Obviously I meant it as a testament to this film rather than a knock on that one...obviously...

Pounder · 01-21-2016, 09:47 PM

I will try and check it out over the weekend.

It looks like an even crappier version of Dead Silence, mixed with Talking Tina. I'll see it whenever it's on TV for free.

DarkEco910 · 01-21-2016, 09:50 PM

I'm interested in seeing this, but won't get around to it this weekend. Hopefully next Tues or Thurs.

I'm hoping this doesn't disappoint me like The Forest did with my other favorite TV actress, Natalie Dormer. Her performance was spectacular, but that movie should've been re-titled "The (Missed Opportunities) Forest."

HorrorBlu · 01-21-2016, 09:55 PM

I was intrigued until I took a peek at the director's filmography.

jacobsever · 01-21-2016, 10:22 PM

Will end up seeing this, but I'm already going in pre-judging it. I think it's dumb that they used this name when there was already a horror film called The Boy that came out last year. I'm not talking about a movie with the same name that's like 30 years apart, but back to back.

The Debts · 01-21-2016, 10:29 PM

Anytime a movie uses Twitter quotes to make it look good, that's not a good sign. AT ALL.

Destinys Memory · 01-22-2016, 02:45 AM

This looks so terrible.

...

I kind of want to see it anyway, though.
