The Boy

The synopsis: Greta (Lauren Cohan) applies for a job as a nanny for an elderly British couple, who want her to watch their "son" — a life-sized, porcelain doll named Brahms modelled in the likeness of their son who died tragically in a fire years before — while they go on holiday for two months. After accepting the position, disturbing things start happening that convince Greta the doll might be possessed.

The twist: Although the doll isn't possessed, the 28-year-old man who's been been living in the walls of the house throughout the movie and terrorising Greta definitely is, and he pops out at the end to murder everyone. Turns out the elderly couple's son never died — they just hid him away after he murdered another little girl in the town as a kid. Thankfully Greta is able to subdue him with multiple stab wounds to the stomach and escapes.

The amount of damage it'll do to your psyche: 🔪🔪
