No doll but there is a New Zealand movie called Housebound with a similar premise that is a bit better (more horror - comedy then just horror). While The Boy is good and the acting if great I liked housebound better.

HOUSEBOUND is one of the best horror movies i've seen in years. it's fantastic!

That is an amazing movie.
An unexpected gem.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the former.

I haven't seen that one. Thanks for posting about it. I'll add it to my 'to view' list.

I watched it. It was interesting. I preferred it to The Boy. Thanks for posting about it.

Yeah I watched that when it came out, very funny, the guy in the walls reminded me of marv from home alone when he gets electrocuted. Same hair.

Eugene, the guy in the wall reminded me of when the boy in Jumanji was turning into a monkey.

I watched Housebound and really liked it. I actually had just finished it a few days before watching this, but some reason I didn't get the twist. lol

when dude came out of the wall, automatically thought of roach from "People Under The Stairs"

The twist at the end made me think of Housebound. Regardless, I still liked this ending. It took me by surprise and I found it satisfying.
