The Boy

Year: 2016

Duration: 97 min

Eager to break free from her dark past, young Greta Evans flies across the pond after landing a job as a nanny at the Heelshires' isolated mansion somewhere in the English countryside. Once there she realizes that pain and grief can lead to strange paths, as her silver-haired employers need her to look after Brahms, the eerily lifelike porcelain doll they treat as their son. At first glance, this is a simple task, but she still must follow a very specific set of inflexible rules. Before long, as Greta pays no attention to the strict guidelines, bizarre things begin to happen, and an intangible but ominous presence haunts the manor's dark corridors. Is Greta starting to lose her grip on reality? What is the well-hidden secret of the cryptic Heelshire family?—Nick Riganas
