Let's be realistic.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

People are too hard on this movie. It's actually such an entertaining film and great for anyone who enjoys horror, and it's slightly alternative horror style is so good to watch. If you have seen the movie 'Don't Breathe' (the one about be blind veteran being robbed) then you will love this movie too. Throughout the film, you will be on the edge of your seat and it's an intense thriller/horror. Then the plot twist at the end is absolutely impeccably portrayed. I live in England myself, and so with the setting being in the English countryside, there was a sense of familiarity for me which I really liked. Great movie.

This movie was very slow and boring. I thought the concept was pretty insane with the story and everything. However, this movie did get very weird and uncomfortable very fast. There were a lot of missing elements to this story and unexplained scenarios This movie had a nice creepy ending with the boy still being alive and repairing the doll. I really think this movie could have been even crazier if there was more gory scenes and we saw more of a creepy killer kid effect. But the fact that the girl had to kiss this doll to distract was kind of weird and ridiculous. Anyway, 5 out of 10

I found this movie on Netflix, read the synopsis and found it to sound interesting and appealing, so I decided to give it a go. Now, I do watch and like "The Walking Dead" quite a lot, but I just wasn't particularly thrilled that it was Lauren Cohan that was in the lead role, because she is not a particularly good actress in my opinion."The Boy" sure did have a good story, right up until the reveal of what is really going on. The movie was genuinely creepy up to that point. But then when it was revealed what was going on, it just all crashed hard and loudly.Good performances from a very small cast, so there was a lot of weight on the actors and actresses. The movie had a fairly good cast all round, and I must admit that Lauren Cohan actually stepped up here and had a more convincing portrayal of emotions and character here than she does in "The Walking Dead".The movie really had potential to become something unique, and it was well on the way, but then the entire house of cards just collapsed faster than you could blink.

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.
