Watch The Boy For Free

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I felt compelled to write my first review on here after seeing this film. There are some few low scores here that complain about how the story goes where you don't expect it to. Well, if it did, then surely it would just blend into every other "doll" film like Annabelle or Child's Play. I personally loved it. The acting was believable. It wasn't over cooked or hammy. The characters took one another seriously rather than choosing not to believe what was going on. There were some decent back story elements. What I also enjoyed was how creepy this film was. I had a few moments where the hairs stood up on my arms and neck. The twist...well I won't drop any spoilers but I believe this to be one of the very few horrors that has blended two horror sub-genres together and I found it really effective. Turns the lights off, and enjoy!!

This isn't a movie that was going to win any oscars but it is entertaining and will keep you wanting to see how it all pans out. Not a massive fan of Lauren Cohen (I find her really annoying on The Walking Dead) but surprisingly I actually like a her a bit more having seen now The Boy. For me the ending was a bit of a let down but all in all worth a watch if you've got some time to kill.

This movie is definitely a jumper! It also has a nice twist to it

I read the good and bad reviews. I didn't Watch the movie when it was first released becausr, to be honest, in the horror genre, dolls are something that always creep me out. It probably has to do with the folktales of them housing souls. But, I decided, well, I'm going to "man up" and watch this. I'm glad I did. I spent most of the movie trying to decide if I thought **spoilers ahead** Greta was suffering from PTSD, was mentally unstable or if Cole had found out where she was and was doing all of it. **End Spoilers** My preconceived notions were challenged and by the end of the movie, I had jumped a few times and felt that general mild-adrenaline and kind of icky after-feeling that I think is indicative of a good horror flick. It's worth the hour and 37 minutes of time invested in it.
