William Brent Bell is an American screenwriter and film director who was born in Lexington, Kentucky. When asked if he was looking for a horror/gothic movie to direct,  he had this answer: “I was looking really hard to find or develop a ghost story, you know, like a creepy ghost story, elevated type of horror film. Or do something completely different and do something more science fiction. I have been doing things in the middle a little bit, and then I read the script for The Boy. It was perfect and unique, and it is not very often you read a horror script that was so well written the first time around. I read it, and I was sucked into the world. I could see the movie, and I loved the idea of dolls or creepy little boys in general, you know, like The Omen or something."]]> 2017-04-20 13:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167247768 deforaly https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167253390 Slowing down at a point of intensity.

This scene creates suspense because throughout the whole movie we are made to think the doll is possessed. When Brahms reveals himself, we are shocked because he never really died as a child like we thought. He had been living in the walls, watching Greta's every move. ]]> 2017-04-20 13:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167253390 deforaly https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167254666 Is the doll possessed?
Rather, Brahms lives in the walls.
What's Greta in for?]]> 2017-04-20 13:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167254666 deforaly https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167476172 In this movie, Brahms gets revenge on Greta for not following the list she was given. He also gets revenge on the guy who broke the doll by killing him. This represents revenge because he is inflicting hurt/harm on those who wronged him.]]> 2017-04-21 13:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167476172 deforaly https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167476793 Throughout the movie, we are convinced that the doll is possessed. This is an example of supernatural because it is a force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.]]> 2017-04-21 13:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167476793 deforaly https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167476998 Mystery & death are represented in this movie through Brahms. In fact, they go hand in hand. We are told that Brahms died as a child. However, Greta feels as though she is being watched or followed. We eventually learn that Brahms never died; rather, he was living in the walls of the house. ]]> 2017-04-21 13:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167476998 deforaly https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167477852 Justice is portrayed in this movie because Brahms gets revenge on Greta for not following the list. This is an example of justice because just behavior and treatment. ]]> 2017-04-21 13:11:53 UTC https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167477852 deforaly https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167478444 In this movie, Greta has nightmares of the Brahms doll coming alive and coming after her. ]]> 2017-04-21 13:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167478444 deforaly https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167478542 The sublime is portrayed in this movie because we are terrified at the force greater than our understanding (the 'possessed' doll)
This is an example of sublime because the sublime is an overpowering sense of the greatness and power of nature, which can be uplifting, awe-inspiring and terrifying, caused by experience of beauty, vastness or grandeur. Sublime moments lead us to consider the place of humanity in the universe, and the power exhibited in the world.]]> 2017-04-21 13:14:37 UTC https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167478542 deforaly https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167479713 FULL MOVIE]]> 2017-04-21 13:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167479713 deforaly https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167481559 https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/usergallery/wQJiLbnLeyhkKw]]> 2017-04-21 13:25:43 UTC https://padlet.com/deforaly/g2rouibibgnz/wish/167481559
