Brahms Heelshire ("The Boy") | My YouTube Comments.

Well, like other people have already mentioned, there's the whole thing with the plot, and then there's also the possible "questionability" of some of the rules (other people have mentioned the "How would you feed a doll?" argument ("Even if a doll is haunted, how would they eat?" That sort of thing. A spirit wouldn't necessarily need to eat, let alone a haunted doll ... unless the spirit was inside of a mortal being.) I basically get what you're trying to say about doing what you've been hired to do, but - in some situations - one might consider the "how" aspect. She didn't think that there was a spirit inside of the doll, so maybe she didn't think that it would be very necessary to do those things if he was not really living. She did eventually start to follow the rules. As for the twist, there have been so many movies about "haunted objects", and I believe that the writer wanted to go down a different path from the common cliches of those kind(s) of movies. Well, anyway(s) ... to each their own, I guess.

Nope. There would be (and, technicaly, are) certain conflicting characteristics that would (and, technically, do) prevent such a thing. (Anyone that has seen "The Boy" would probably understand what I mean. Anyone that has not seen "The Boy" probably would not understand what I mean.)

 I usually describe certain things as "okay" (and I don't really mean "bad" when I say that), but I guess that this is one of those rare and / or few exceptions where I'll describe something as "good". This movie had minimal jump scares, a mysterious aspect, and a twist to the story.

☺ Yeah, it's not really what people might be expecting before they watch it. There are minimal jump scares, a mysterious aspect, and a twist to the story (and, hopefully, that's not really spoiling anything). I wouldn't really say that it would have people screaming, though. I usually describe certain things as "okay", but I guess that this is one of those few and / or rare exceptions where I call something "good". I wasn't expecting to feel the way that I feel about this movie, but I do ... so ... that's that. ☺

Nope, but there might be something slightly correct in the idea of that theory, but it doesn't have to do with Malcolm or Emily Cribbs. Other people have mentioned other things about Brahms Heelshire and Greta Evans [in this "comment thread", but there is a twist that some people might not know about. I'm not really one for giving out spoilers, though (so ... hopefully, what I said isn't really much of a spoiler). You'll just have to watch the movie to find out ... or read about it online, I guess (if you haven't already done one of those things). Edit: Ashley Faminial kind of has a good point. Some people will have a grave / tomb site for a person (and / or people) even if there is no body (and / or are no bodies) to bury. To address someone else's (Kray Lake's) comment, Brahms Heelshire would actually be about 28 years old, not 30 years old (yet ... at the time of and / or in this movie). As for the fire (since it isn't really addressed in the movie ... but there do seem to be some things that might hint to a certain kind of conclusion), I guess that I kind of have my own suspicions (which could be correct or incorrect). Since it isn't really addressed in the movie, I guess that it wouldn't really be considered a "spoiler" to discuss it. I guess that I kind of suspect that his parents might have tried to burn him alive (after they found out about the incident with the little girl), and then maybe they felt really bad for what happened and possibly started to "over-compensate" in a strange sort of way to "make up" for it (leading to the events in the movie). (?) (Johao Gomez kind of has the right idea ... maybe without even realizing. Gino Robles also mentioned a key point, too ... maybe without even realizing it, too. Lavender Cupcake is just a little bit off. Mariah Diaz is also just a little bit off when it comes to the motive of what was being discussed and the conclusion of the story. Brendan Man has the right idea when it comes to giving away spoilers. Don't do it. Hahaha. Seb92ify makes a good point about everyone being who they are, but I'd say that Greta Evans is / was a "little bit" more than just "a gift" when it comes to Brahms Heelshire. According to the writer, she's supposed to be some kind of twist of two somethings for him.)
