Watch The Boy Full Movie Online

While it's arguable that their performances aren't going to be quite Oscar-caliber, charge players in "The Boy" nonetheless merit kudos of some kind in hopes of maintaining straight faces while muddling all through the absurdities on this tepid horror opus. Regardless of the assiduous grinding of plot mechanics by William Brent Bell ("The Devil Inside") and scripter Stacey Menear, film production company never fully distracts its audience from your inherent silliness of premise - a brand new woman is hired by an elderly couple becoming a nanny for a life-sized doll - and, for that reason, is likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks rather than screams and rooting interest. Still, a considerable opening-weekend gross can be done, given the modern absence of similar product into the megaplex marketplace.

Lauren Cohan of TV's "The Walking Dead" stars as Greta, a united states of america who opts to have far from your abusive boyfriend by traveling all the way to a distant corner in the British countryside. She winds up having a Gothic manor home near an isolated village, to interview in order that it she thinks is definitely the job of maintaining an 8-year-old boy.

Fortunately: She lands the gig.

The worse news: The Heelshires quickly depart to get a extended vacation, leaving Greta alone with Brahms within a old dark house where things go bump from the night, items inexplicably disappear and/or relocate, and sporadic dream-sequence fakeouts provide low-voltage shocks.

Rupert Evans - who, a lot more than a few shots here, looks like can pass for Brad Pitt's younger brother - arises occasionally as Malcom, a hunky deliveryman who divides his time taken between flirting with Greta and telling her regarding the "real" Brahms, an 8-year-old youngster who reportedly perished within a house fire 20 years earlier. (The still-grieving Heelshires, he adds, have treasured the doll as being a stand-in for his or her lost little boy since then. ) But it's not until Greta shares her suspicions that Brahms' ghost is probably haunting your residence, and possessing the doll, that Malcom tells another products in the story: Brahms wasn't exactly a little bit angel when he was brighteyed and bushytailed. Wonderful spirit most certainly isn't blithe.

To provide credit where it really is due: Bell, without bit of help from lenser Daniel Pearl and production designer John Willett, generates some palpable suspense during atmospheric sequences containing Greta explores the inlets of Heelshire manor. And editor Brian Berdan deserves praise for seamlessly interlacing scenes actually shot in two different houses and various studio sets.

But you can find just much you may apply to counterbalance the laugh-out-loud daftness of scenes that necessitate Cohan vary wildly from cynical to fearful to maternal while acting opposite her china-doll co-star. (Not that it's Cohan's fault - she overplays once in a while, but offers the movie much more than it ever gives her. ) Plus it doesn't help much that your ridiculous third-act plot twist is capped off with an anticlimactic finale. Boy, discuss a surefire way to guaranteeing bad one individual to another.
