The Boy

Fleeing her troubled recent past, Greta (Lauren Cohan) heads across the Atlantic to take a nanny’s position at an isolated British mansion. Upon meeting her middle-aged employers (Jim Norton, Diana Hardcastle), she learns the peculiar truth about her new charge–he’s a life-sized doll, crafted in the image of the 8-year-old son they lost a generation before. She takes the odd situation in stride, until she’s left alone with the mannequin…and is seized by the terrified notion that it’s alive, and malevolent. Creepy chiller also stars Rupert Evans, Ben Robson. 98 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1.
