If you thought dolls couldn't get any creepier, the trailer for Brahms: The Boy 2 wants to prove you wrong.
The trailer for the sequel depicts a couple, Liza and Sean, moving with their troubled adolescent son Jude into the isolated Heelshire Mansion from the last film. Naturally, Jude discovers the life-sized doll Brahms buried in the ground. He soon becomes obsessed with it, having the doll copy his clothing and actions, reenacting the notorious list of strange rules involving the doll and troubling his mother with his increasingly odd and violent behavior.
The movie is a direct sequel to the original film that was released on 2016, which was directed by William Brent Bell (The Devil Inside) and starred Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead) and Rupert Evans (The Man in the High Castle).
Brahms: The Boy 2 joins a contemporary revival of the "creepy doll" sub-genre of horror films. It comes on the heels of 2019's Annabelle Comes Home, the latest of the Annabelle movies about a "real" haunted doll that spun out of The Conjuring series, as well as the Indonesian horror film Sabrina and the recent reboot of 1988's Child's Play. In recent years, there were two low-budget movies, Robert the Doll and The Curse of Robert, about another haunted doll.
Written and directed by William Brent Bell and Stacey Menear, Brahms: The Boy 2 stars Katie Holmes, Owain Yeoman, Christopher Convery and Ralph Ineson. It hits theaters Feb. 21.
