Rating: 6.5/10 -- The Boy was much more successful than I imagined it could be. There were so many elements that worked in its favor such as the acting and an interesting plot line. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Some decent jump scares here and there, but the best part of the whole ordeal is watching Cohan keep an admirably straight face through this nonsense. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Fans of Cohan and spooky flicks will find plenty to enjoy here - enough to give a positive recommendation for - but it will always feel like a missed opportunity not getting to see what we really hoped for. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Lauren Cohan is surprisingly decent acting alongside a porcelain doll), but the indisputable disaster of the story just ruins and squanders any semblance of entertainment value. Full Review

Rating: B -- "The Boy" is less about a life-size porcelain doll and more about the objectification of a vulnerable young woman by literally everyone around her. And the film is creepier and darker than you would expect in that regard. Full Review
The Monitor (McAllen, TX)
Aug 14, 2017
Rating: 70/100 -- "The Boy" didn't screen for critics, but it's actually a pretty sturdy genre effort. Nearly free of gore... [the film] is careful and clever about revealing what Brahms really is, for he's certainly got a mind and will of his own. Full Review

Product Description:

Greta (Lauren Cohan) takes a job as a nanny for a young boy in an English village. Upon her arrival, she discovers that the child is actually a life-size doll that the parents have been using as a coping mechanism since the death of their eight-year-old son two decades earlier. After the initial shock wears off, Greta decides to stay and work for the couple, but when she breaks a few strictly enforced rules of their "son's" care, she begins to suspect the toy may not be a doll at all. Directed by William Brent Bell. Rupert Evans, Jim Norton, Diana Hardcastle, Ben Robson, and James Russell co-star.
