"Be good to him and he'll be good to you. Be bad to him..." The Walking Dead's Lauren Cohan plays a nanny with a bizarre gig in The Boy, and new clips tease her encounters with a devious doll ahead of the film's January 22nd release from STX Entertainment.

"The Boy is a frightening thrill ride directed by William Brent Bell (The Devil Inside) starring Lauren Cohan (“The Walking Dead”).

Greta (Cohan) is a young American woman who takes a job as a nanny in a remote English village, only to discover 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 prior. After violating a list of strict rules, a series of disturbing and inexplicable events bring Greta’s worst nightmare to life, leading her to believe that the doll is actually alive."
