Movie description:
An intimate portrait of a 9-year-old sociopath’s growing fascination with death ...
Ted Henley and his father operate a floundering family business – The Mt. Vista Motel. It’s just the two of them since Ted’s mother ran off with a guest years earlier, stealing the motel’s soul and one of its last regular patrons. Since then, Ted’s father has drifted into despondency – becoming a living ghost, haunting his own motel and leaving Ted to fend for himself. In his isolation, unchecked by the bounds of parenting, friendship, or affection, Ted’s fascination with death awakens.
It’s the summer of 1989. 9-year-old Ted Henley and his father John are the proprietors of The Mt. Vista Motel, a crumbling resort buried in the mountains of the American West. Since Ted’s mother left, John has drifted into despondency – leaving Ted to fend for himself. In this isolation, unchecked by the bounds of parenting, Ted’s darker impulses begin to manifest. The arrival of a mysterious drifter, William Colby, captivates young Ted and the two form an unique friendship – setting the stage for Ted’s final, unnerving metamorphosis. »The Boy« is a chilling, intimate portrait of a 9-year-old sociopath’s growing fascination with death.

Die Erzählung »Miss Corpus« von Clay McLeod Chapman war schon einmal Vorlage für einen Film: Craig Macneill nutzte das Kapitel »The Henley Road Motel« aus dem Roman als Grundlage für seinen Kurzfilm »Henley« (siehe auch dort).
