10 Final Horror Movie Scenes That Changed Everything
6. The Boy
Granted, its sequel - Brahms: The Boy II - was a total stinker that undid so much of the good work of its predecessor, but 2016's The Boy was surprisingly a lot better than many were expecting.
That first picture centres on Lauren Cohan's Greta, a American nanny who heads to England to work for the Heelshires as she looks to distance herself from her abusive ex-partner. With the Heelshires off on vacation - a vacation where they'd commit suicide - Greta is tasked with looking after Brahms; a porcelain doll the Heelshires treat as their son and whom they have very particular instructions for.
While Greta views this as quite the odd gig, it's a well-paid gig nonetheless. Once she gets settled into the Heelshires lavish home, though, things start to become extremely spooky in this 'scary doll' feature.
Of course, the kicker here is, after spending the bulk of its run time playing out like a typical spooky doll affair, the final sequence reveals that Brahms is a real person, nowadays an adult, and lives in the walls of the Heelshire house - completely flipping the events of the film on its head.
