The Boy

It wasn’t that surprising last week when Ride Along 2 officially dethroned Star Wars: The Force Awakens as reigning champion of the box office. However, what is surprising is how fast and far it plummeted in its second weekend. As the comedy sequel’s legs instantly shattered, The Revenant was finally able to claim the top spot after several weeks of playing box office bridesmaid.

As horror films have taught us for decades, dolls can be downright terrifying: the clown in Poltergeist, for instance, or the dolls in James Wan’s films The Conjuring and Dead Silence. We can now add another film to the creepy doll horror sub-genre with The Boy, the new movie from the director of The Devil Inside, starring The Walking Dead’s Lauren Cohan (aka Maggie).
