I might be subconsciously avoiding The Boy, starring The Walking Dead‘s Lauren Cohan, because it features a goddamn freak of nature, otherwise known as a doll. Makes me feel like hiding under the sheets and waiting for the all clear, you know, just like this:
Anyway, The Boy, from director William Brent Bell and writer Stacey Menear, opens in theaters this Friday, January 22nd, and STX Entertainment just released the final trailer. Is there a difference from the first one if they both scare the shit out of you?
The Boy 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.
Are you brave enough to subject yourself to the horrors of a doll? Or will you avoid this one like me?
