An odd mystery and an eerie character offer up chills
“The Boy” is inspired by possessed-doll movies, from “Dead of Night” through the “Chucky” franchise. The doll in this case is called Brahms. He’s the property of the Heelshires (Jim Norton, Diana Hardcastle), who live in a gothic house in rural England. American nanny Greta (Lauren Cohan, “The Walking Dead”) arrives to take care of their son, only to find Brahms instead. She learns that the Heelshires’ real son — also named Brahms — was killed in a mysterious house fire, and soon suspects the dead boy’s spirit lives on in the doll.<br /><br />The doll here is approximately the size of a six-year-old, with a porcelain face, dark eyes, and an expression that can be read as threatening, sympathetic, or even frustrated. Director William Brent Bell creates a creepy atmosphere early on and incorporates a number of jump scares along the way, which do make us jump, but also undermine the carefully built suspense and mood.<br /><br />As the Heelshires prepare to leave on a trip, they give specific instructions to Greta about the care of Brahms, referring to the inanimate object as if it were a living, breathing child. The remote location and inaccessibility of easy transportation explains why Greta doesn’t run for the hills at this point.<br /><br />The movie is pretty tame when it comes to violence, devoting most of its efforts to setting up and gradually unraveling the mystery of Brahms and why the doll is treated like a real child. Ultimately, the movie is about how tragedy can lead to a breakdown of family and insanity, and how the years turn an imagined reality into a genuine one.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the widescreen Blu-ray release.
