  1. The Boy movie review & film summary (2016)

    The twist that explains what's really going on here feels like a bit of a letdown, as does the climactic confrontation involving the truly evil force that's been toying with and tormenting Greta. It's more rote than revelatory, and the possibility of a sequel in the final shot plays more like a threat than a promise. Thriller.

  5. Movie Review: The Boy (2016)

    Director William Brent Bell and writer Stacey Menear have put together a movie that relies heavily on old standards like nightmares, dark and shadowy rooms (not to mention the attic), and backstories that include "odd" or "downright strange" children.

  8. The Boy

    Movie Review. Running away isn't always easy. Greta Evans knows that as a simple fact. When there's something, or rather, ... So The Boy isn't really what you'd call a horror-hater's poster child. Some discerning souls might even find it … less than horrible. Of course, we do see a throat-gouging murder and a sad suicide along the ...

    Our review: Parents say ( 20 ): Kids say ( 81 ): While it's not a terribly original entry in the "creepy doll" horror subgenre, this fright flick nonetheless offers interesting characters, a strong cast, expert pacing, and a spooky atmosphere.

  15. The Boy Movie Ending, Explained

    In the closing scene of the film, Brahms can be seen putting back pieces of the doll together, suggesting that he is probably still alive. From all of this, we can deduce that Brahms never died in the first place. He was always a twisted little kid and he ended up murdering Emily Cribbs on his 8th birthday.

  17. Movie Review: "The Boy"

    Is it a spoiler to refer to the coda of thriller "The Boy" as the clumsiest cop out in recent horror history? Never mind. That goes for the movie as well, a tepid tale of elderly Brits, the Heelshires (Diana Hardcastle, Jim Norton) who hire, sight-unseen, a young American Greta (Laurent Cohan) as nanny to their little boy.

  18. The Boy Review

    The Boy is a very slow burn, one that successfully works to the narrative at hand, but isn't particularly enjoyable to watch. In the summer of 1989, 9-year-old Ted Henley (Jared Breeze) and his father John (David Morse) run the Mt. Vista Motel. A small operation with fewer than ten rooms, a pool, and fresh morning coffee, the once vibrant Mt. Vista Motel has (much like the Henleys) fallen into ...
