Could be another Dolby Atmos tile, from Universal Pictures.

I just found out the director is from Kentucky and is a huge UK fan. That's good enough for me to support him and buy this movie. I have no idea what it is about, but you gotta support your own.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., March 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A young American woman uncovers the menacing nature of the English family she cares for in The Boy, a terrifying thriller debuting on Digital HD on April 26, 2016 and on Blu-ray, DVD, and On Demand on May 10, 2016, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

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.

[Leonidas King]

I have to say. That's an awesome looking cover.

[Brett C]

Figures they left off the Atmos mix, not surprised though.

[Bumblefeet]

Two questions; is it at least better than Annabelle? And is Maggie tolerable as the lead actress?

and yet they can't even add the 7.1 sound mix ... I'd expect that more from Warner's but not from Universal, what a lazy move.

[Chaotic]

Great cover. No special features. Darn.

[darkness2918]

Always wanted to check it out will grab it day 1.

1. No.
2. Yes.

The problem with this movie isn't Lauren Cohan.
It's that ending. Ugh.

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

I guess I'll give this a rent when it comes out.

The German release is getting Dolby Atmos. Not sure if English. Have to wait that out.

[Luke B.]

Nice cover, very pretty.
The film is enjoyable, but the main actress is so bad, I wanted her character to die during the first 50 minutes of the film.
The end is quite surprising, I really wasn't expecting that and I liked it.
That's what I thought it would be:

[Show spoiler]The boy died when he was a child and the parents, devastated, did some black magic to bring his soul from the dead and live inside the doll, that's why they took care of him like a real child
