Review of The Boy (2016) by Jenn W — 25 Jan 2016
The Boy is a horror film directed by william brent bell and it is a decent horror thriller that has a lot of nerving mystery to it.
A Young American nanny [Lauren Cohn] comes to an old home in England to care for an eight year old boy who turns out to be a life-sized doll, When she breaks several of the rules given to her horrific things begin to happen.
The direction by william brent bell is done well and he brings a lot of tension and mystery to the film, Lauren Cohn and Rupert Evans deliver decent performances, The great thing about this film is that it relies more and tension and mystery than mindless jump scares and gory violence.
Overall the boy is much better than I thought it was going to be and it proves that decent horror films can still be made. 6/10.
