If you loved The Boy, try Wer

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Wer has roughly 8.6× fewer votes than The Boy — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by William Brent Bell, and they sit in Horror / Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Boy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Wer is

Chilly Baltic shores, autumn. A single wind-whipped umbrella lies overturned by the dock. Her client speaks German she only half-understands and remembers lakes that don’t appear on any map. Fingerprints vanish overnight. A child’s diary pages rewrite themselves. Laundry-list of kills: father, mother, two children, the family dog.
