Having escaped an abusive relationship, Greta decides to take a break from America, and heads across the pond to take up a nanny position in a remote English village.
Arriving at the residence of the wealthy Heelshire family, she is surprised to learn that the couple’s 8-year-old son, Brahms, is in fact a life sized porcelain doll.
Her initial hope that it’s all a joke is quickly dashed by the eccentric couple, who lay out a list of strict rules as to how Brahms must be looked after.
No guests. Don’t cover his face. Never leave him alone. Don’t forget to feed him…
Despite her scepticism, Greta accepts her role, and goes about looking after the porcelain doll. When she breaks the rules however, strange things start to happen, and she begins to wonder if Brahms does in fact have a life of his own.
But what is his secret?
The Boy is a bone chilling addition to the demonic doll sub-genre, and stars Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead) and Rupert Evans (The Canal)
