Chiller's Original Movie "The Boy" Premieres Friday, 11/13 at 9PM

On Friday, November 13 @ 9/8c, Chiller presents the television premiere of its original movie, The Boy. A chilling, intimate portrait of a 9-year-old sociopath's growing fascination with death, The Boy was an official selection of the 2015 SXSW Film Festival.

It's the summer of 1989. Nine-year-old Ted Henley (Jared Breeze) and his father John (David Morse) are the proprietors of The Mtn. Vista Motel, a crumbling resort buried in the mountains of the American West. Since Ted's mother left, John has drifted into despondency - becoming a living ghost, haunting the motel - 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 (Rainn Wilson), captivates young Ted and the two form a unique friendship - setting the stage for Ted's final, unnerving metamorphosis.

Following a release in select theaters nationwide this summer, The Boy is also currently available on VOD.

The Boy also stars Bill Sage, Mike Vogel, Zuleikha Robinson, Aiden Lovekamp and David Valencia. Based on the novel Miss Corpus by Clay McLeod Chapman, The Boy was directed by Craig Macneill and co-written by Chapman and Macneill. The Boy is a SpectreVision production, with Daniel Noah, Josh C. Waller and Elijah Wood serving as producers.
