Horror movies can be easily great or terribly horrible, it all depends on how well the jump scares are. Well, check out this creepy trailer for “The Boy” about a woman who is hired by a well-to-do family to babysit their son Brahms. Of course, their real son died in a tragic accident so they have a doll that they treat as a real boy for coping reasons. The woman is played by the Walking Dead’s Lauren Cohan. Obviously things get weird with Brahms seemingly moving around and doing terrible things.
There aren’t many things that can make people freak out like a doll coming to life and doing terrible things. That’s why Child’s Play and Anabelle were made. “The Boy” may be in the same vein or it may fall flat. Horror movies are hit or miss and rely on how their story is told by the filmmaker.
