'Brahms: The Boy 2': Release date, plot, cast, trailer and everything else about the sequel to the 2016 horror
If you’re a fan of the 2016 unnerving horror movie ‘The Boy’, then the time is ripe to prepare yourself for a fresh dose of the heebie-jeebies. The film about a life-sized eerie doll is soon to have a sequel titled ‘Brahms: The Boy 2’ and it looks every bit as uncomfortable as the first part.
Release date:
The film will open in theaters across the U.S. on February 21, 2020.
Plot:
In ‘The Boy’, an American nanny named Greta is hired by an eccentric rich family called the Heelshires to care for a porcelain doll named Brahms. They provide Greta with a very specific set of rules by which to care for the doll.
If things weren’t already creepy, it gets darker when one realizes that the real Brahms, the son of the Heelshires, was killed in a house fire 20 years ago on his eighth birthday.
Of course, true to any horror trope, Greta ignores the rules at first. But she starts to take them seriously when the doll begins to come alive. At the end of the film, Greta discovers that the real Brahms was, in fact, alive and was living in the walls of the house.
In a tussle between Greta and the grown Brahms, the former stabs him with a screwdriver and flees. But there is a twist. We see that Brahms has survived, and was last seen repairing his shattered doll. This is where the second film takes its cue
As per IMDb, the sequel revolves around a new family that moves into the Heelshire Mansion. Soon, however, their young son makes friends with the life-like doll Brahms. And that is where things start getting creepy.

Trailer:
The trailer for ‘Brahms: The Boy 2’ dropped on Wednesday and it is a very uncomfortable watch. Jude is a disturbed child who likes scares and exhibits violent tendencies. On the advice of Jude’s therapist, the family moves into their new home, far from the city.
There Jude discovers the life-like doll buried in the yard. As Jude gets closer to the doll, his mother Liza begins to express concern. Her initial skepticism on her son having conversations with Brahms soon turns into fear.
Try as she might, however, she can’t seem to separate them. All throughout, she is creeped out by the doll. The trailer ends with Liza examining Brahms in the dead of the night.
She switches on a flashlight on its face and sees the doll's eyes roll to the back of its head. And without any warning, black insects fly out of its mouth in the wake of a guttural scream.
