Craig William Macneill's "The Boy" is a moody and atmospheric thriller that takes a classically creepy setting -- a desolate hotel far removed from the rest of the world -- and infuses it with fresh terror, thanks to the burgeoning sociopath who lives there, who just so happens to be only nine years old. As Macneill's titular boy, Jared Breeze plays a chilling young Ted Henley, who spends the film's runtime pushing boundaries (and people) in increasingly arresting ways. Macneill adapted the film's screenplay alongside novelist Clay Macleod Chapman (which, in turn, was inspired by a short the pair made together in 2011), one that attracted a variety of supporting talent, including Rainn Wilson and David Morse. "The Boy" is...

The Sad Seed: Macneill’s Portrait of Rural Malaise Flickers with Occasional Menace
In the cinematic landscape of evil (or at least sociopathic), children, it’s rare to catch a sound portrayal of the circumstances explaining their wicked ways. Director Craig William Macneill attempt to do just that with his directorial debut The Boy, based on a chapter of the novel Miss Corpus by Clay McLeod Chapman. Unfortunately, the occasional, brooding menace touched upon in the film is more often than not drowned out by the crushingly mundane exposition of its prolonged first act. Musical cues lead us to conclusions the material cannot quite conjure about on its own, forcefeeding us a portrait of one very lonely, isolated boy and his growing predilection for dead animals.

A film I missed at the 2015 SXSW Film Festival, Craig William Macneill’s The Boy is a startlingly raw portrait of a blossoming psychotic and how those hostile tendencies can be furthered if said psychopath is left to their own devices. Utilizing a minimalist approach in dialogue, The Boy succeeds on the shoulders of the film’s young star, Jared Breeze, who captivates and entrances viewers throughout many of the film’s scenes without even uttering a single word. Macneill also uses The Boy’s sparse and isolated setting as a visual playground for the titular character, giving us a brief glimpse into a troubled young mind that’s slowly slipping into madness the longer he’s forced to live out his childhood in his secluded surroundings.

"Nobody ever comes back here," says nine-year-old Ted Henley (Jared Breeze) to his father John (David Morse) in "The Boy," in reference to the isolated desert motel that where Craig William Macneill's eerie 1989-set thriller takes place. It's an apt summation of the dark, purgatorial quality that permeates each scene of Macneill's debut feature. Adapted from one chapter in Clay McLeod Chapman's 2003 book "Miss Corpus" (and produced by Elijah Wood's SpectreVision label), the movie explores the childhood of a would-be Norman Bates-like psychopath driven to murderous extremes in adolescence. This is hardly a spoiler considering the morbid inevitability in each scene, but Macneill's elegant treatment of the material keeps its central mystery in play, with the palpable suspense derived from how and when young Ted will finally snap. Raised solo by his father after his mother's departure before the movie begins, Ted's limited worldview is enhanced by the.

Arriving in theaters and on VOD this Tuesday is The Boy, a quiet thriller that focuses on a burgeoning sociopath and how sometimes too much isolation can definitely be a bad thing. The film premiered earlier this year at the 2015 SXSW Film Festival and while this writer missed out on seeing it in Austin, I enjoyed the opportunity to not only catch up with the film now, but also speak to two of the gentlemen behind the project, co-writer and director Craig William Macneill and co-writer Clay McLeod.
Check out what both Macneill and McLeod had to say about adapting The Boy for the big screen, working with the folks over at SpectreVision and their trio of actors in the film (David Morse, Rainn Wilson and newcomer Jared Breeze) and how they hope viewers to have a little sympathy for the devil after seeing their collaboration when its released this week.

Rifling through his father’s shed, nine-year-old Ted (Jared Breeze) sneaks out a ledger book rather than the Playboy on top of it. He acts out the role of hotel manager to nonexistent customers at his family’s desolate Mtn. Vista hotel. It’s clear he tends toward a system of checks and balances, at least until someone or something challenges that idea — then all bets are off. If the rodent roadkill that he collects to sell to his father (David Morse) dries up, he’ll steal a bag of chicken feed and sprinkle it across the street to sway the game in his favor. Director Craig Macneill keeps these actions from Ted deliberate and considered in his debut feature “The Boy” — hinting at the possible disturbing escalations to come. However, the clean lines and murky atmosphere of dread also leave too little of a surprise by the tale’s end.

As parents, we often stress and worry over whether our children will be born disabled, or whether they’ll grow up happy and be successful. As parents, there are so many things to consider and be concerned about involving the well-being of our children, but it’s almost always centered on one key word… weakness. As parents, the worst thing we often imagine is that our children will be weak and unable to shoulder the burden of living in today’s world.
Perhaps weakness is not the true elephant in the room, or shall I say demon in the closet. What if… instead of raising a child that’s physically, mentally or emotionally weak, you found yourself raising a child that is physically and mentally strong, but emotionally void? What if you found yourself raising a sociopath? Now, what if you didn’t realize your child was a sociopath until it was already too late?...

"Utterly hypnotic." What isssss this?! I'm not exactly sure if this is going to be any good, but it's definitely very intriguing. The first trailer for an indie psychological horror/thriller called The Boy has arrived. Craig William Macneill's The Boy is a "chilling, intimate portrait of a 9-year-old sociopath's growing fascination with death." The cast includes Rainn Wilson and David Morse, as well as Jared Breeze as "the boy". There are some very intriguing shots in this, but it generally looks like a mesmerizing character study with minimal dialogue. Bloody-Disgusting said in their review, "We’ve seen killer kid films before. But maybe not one as psychologically ratcheting as The Boy." That line sells me more than this trailer. Give it a look below. Here's the first official trailer for Craig William Macneill's The Boy, originally from Yahoo: It's the summer of 1989. 9-year-old Ted Henley (Jared Breeze...

With Sundance in the rear view mirror and Berlin just around the corner, another huge festival that’s now very much in mind is the 2015 South By Southwest Film Festival (SXSW 2015), to be held in Austin, Texas, this March. And this year, the lineup looks no less eclectic than in any previous year for the festival.
SXSW 2015 will see the debut of two big-studio comedies (Paul Feig’s Spy, starring Melissa McCarthy; and Etan Cohen’s Get Hard, starring Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart), some red-hot documentaries (none more so than Alex Gibney’s Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine) and a vast array of smaller indie titles. Intriguingly, Judd Apatow’s Amy Schumer vehicle Trainwreck will be screened as a work-in-progress.

Since The Office closed its doors in 2013, Rainn Wilson has been steadily turning in supporting performances in independent productions. That run looks set to continue, with news that the actor has joined the cast of The Boy, which began filming in Columbia in February.
The Boy is envisioned as the first part of a film trilogy that will chart the development of a mass murderer named Ted Henley – visiting him at the ages of 9, 14 and 18. In this initial instalment, Ted will be played by Jared Breeze, with David Morse and Mike Vogel – both about to be seen in the mystery thriller, McCanick – also in the cast. Craig Macneill (The Afterlight) is directing from a script he co-wrote with Clay McLeod Chapman.
The origins of this planned trilogy lie in Chapman’s own novel – ‘Miss Corpus’ – published in 2003. That story follows two unconnected strangers on their respective, but particularly disturbing, roadtrips.
