Watch The Boy Full Movie Online

While it's arguable that their performances are not quite Oscar-caliber, the lead players in "The Boy" nonetheless merit kudos of some sort or other mainly for maintaining straight faces while muddling with the absurdities with this tepid horror opus. In spite 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 the inherent silliness of premise - a brand new woman is hired by an elderly couple being nanny to add a life-sized doll - and, consequently, is more likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks instead of screams and rooting interest. Still, a significant opening-weekend gross is pretty possible, given the modern not enough similar product inside megaplex marketplace.

Lauren Cohan of TV's "The Walking Dead" stars as Greta, an American who opts to obtain miles away from a abusive boyfriend by traveling to a distant corner of the British countryside. She ends up at the Gothic manor home near an isolated village, to interview so that she thinks is the job of looking after an 8-year-old boy.

Fortunately: She lands the gig. Unhealthy news: Her aged employees, Mr. and Mrs. Heelshire (Jim Norton, Diana Hardcastle), want her to think about over Brahms, a life-sized china doll they treat being a son. The worse news: The Heelshires quickly depart for just a extended vacation, leaving Greta alone with Brahms inside old dark house where things go bump inside night, items inexplicably disappear and/or relocate, and sporadic dream-sequence fakeouts provide low-voltage shocks.

Rupert Evans - who, much more than the usual few shots here, looks like can pass for Brad Pitt's younger brother - appears occasionally as Malcom, a hunky deliveryman who divides his time taken between flirting with Greta and telling her in connection with "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 the stand-in with regard to their lost son since. ) But it's not until Greta shares her suspicions that Brahms' ghost may be haunting your house, and possessing the doll, that Malcom tells other story: Brahms wasn't exactly a little angel if he was completely alive. Great spirit almost certainly isn't blithe.

To present credit where its due: Bell, with no bit of help from lenser Daniel Pearl and production designer John Willett, generates some palpable suspense during atmospheric sequences in which 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 there is just a lot that can be done to counterbalance the laugh-out-loud daftness of scenes that involve Cohan vary in color tremendously from cynical to fearful to maternal while acting opposite her china-doll co-star. (Not that it's Cohan's fault - she overplays regularly, but affords the movie considerably more than it ever gives her. ) Plus it doesn't help much that the ridiculous third-act plot twist is capped off utilizing an anticlimactic finale. Boy, focus on a surefire approach to guaranteeing bad word of mouth.
