The Loneliest Boy in the World2022
“They're dying to be his friend.”
Directed by Martin Owen
The premise
After losing his mother, a lonely boy decides to (literally) dig up some new friends, but when they mysteriously come back to life, he’s launched into a series of misadventures as he tries to keep their secret safe from neighbors, classmates and social workers alike.
Horror Vault's take
A grieving boy with no friends and no idea how to make them takes a wildly unconventional approach to companionship — one that happens to involve a graveyard. What follows is a darkly comic adventure as he scrambles to keep his unusual new household under wraps from the adults circling his life. The film balances laughs and genuine heart, leaning into its absurd premise with a light touch rather than outright scares. Fans of offbeat horror-comedies will find it a charming oddity.
