A couple weekends ago I went out with a few friends and saw The Boy. Being the hard critic of scary movies I am, I went into this movie not expecting much of it.
Sitting through the first hour and ten minutes was pretty bad. It was pretty much what I expected out of a PG-13 movie. A few jump scares here and there that really were not scary at all. Then just a lot of story. Nothing I would suggest going out to see for 12 dollars. It slow moving and un-interesting. They could have made the first hour and ten minutes just ten if they wanted too. Just boring and uninteresting.
Although in the last 20 minutes of the movie, it took a turn I didn't expect. It actually got interesting in a plot twist I didn't think was going to happen. It had crossed my mind once but because the first hour and ten took so long I forgot about it and I was actually surprised. Im not a fan of this movie and I certainly wouldn't go spend money to see it, but it you happen to see it on tv, I suggest just watching the last 20 minutes cause that is the only good part of this movie.
Seems like a very fair review, Andrew!
