This trailer for the upcoming horror flick The Boy, has enough terror in its two-and-a-half minutes for the entire Halloween season. The story centers around Greta (The Walking Dead's Lauren Cohan) who becomes the nanny for the 8-year-old son of a wealthy, reclusive older couple in their sprawling manor in the English countryside.
The only catch? Their son, Brahms, is a DOLL.
Yes, Greta has been enlisted to care for a life-sized replica of the boy, who died 20 years earlier; his parents seemingly unable to cope with the loss. From the trailer, the nanny goes along with the strange scenario (money is money, boo), but after straying from some of the strict rules Brahm's parents have given her to follow, she begins to see that the doll is...not so inanimate.
Greta starts uncovering some scary facts about the boy from when he was alive, and of course, horror ensues.
Anytime someone says, "We've had a number of potential nannies..." YOU RUN SCREAMING.If you're not too keen on dolls, clowns, and the like, this trailer is probably your worst nightmare.
But watch it anyway, because it looks like it's going to be a hit.
The Boy comes out January 22, 2016.
