The list of horror movies to be released in 2016 is ever increasing. The Boy is the latest movie to be added into the list. As the name suggests the movie revolves around a boy only a little unnatural boy in many ways. Set in a village distanced from the city, a young girl takes on a job of a nanny only to find that the boy she has come to take care of is different from what she anticipated him to be. However, this young fellow has his own rules and regulations, which if not obeyed can lead to disastrous consequences. Being independent and bold as the girl was, she choose to seemingly ignore some of these rules which lands her into trouble with the boy.
Here is a trailer that has been officially released where one can see the difference between other boys and The Boy who is the main subject of this movie.
