The Boy

A lonely nine-year-old lives with his father at a remote, struggling motel, where boredom, isolation, and a growing fascination with death begin to shape his behavior. As guests arrive and tensions rise, his increasingly disturbing actions reveal a troubled child struggling without guidance or connection.

My take

You may like this if you prefer bleak psychological dramas, patient character studies, and unsettling atmosphere over scares; Not for you if you want fast thrills, frequent action, or horror like The Good Son.
