Check out the lineup of new movies and shows streaming on Netflix this month, including The Trial of the Chicago 7. See the full list. Greta, a young American woman, takes a job as a nanny in a remote English village and discovers that the family's 8-year-old is a life-sized doll that the parents care for just like a real boy as a way to cope with the death of their actual son 20 years ago. When she violates a list of strict rules, her worst nightmare is brought to life by a series of disturbing, inexplicable events and she comes to believe that the doll is alive.

The Boy certainly has its moments of shock value but the sluggish story feels lukewarm for the most part. It is such a shame that The Boy could not capitalize any further on its strange and hypnotic inclinations. The Boy was much more successful than I imagined it could be. There were so many elements that worked in its favor such as the acting and an interesting plot line. One of the more successful entries in the evil doll sub-genre, poking fun at itself at all the right moments.
