Ambiguous motives and monotony dont leave a great impression either.

And it isnt a retro haunted house movie like The House of the Devil, either.

For my taste in horror, The Boy while creepy enough could have been benefited from a little more naughty behavior.
Reel Reviews
1.5
A pretty decent horror movie during the first hour, but a cheap cop out ending destroys all the good work that was made during the beginning.
2.5
Should you make the time to see it If youre a fan of the genre, probably, I guess.
1.0
It also doesnt help that theres usually a jump scare right around the corner, or that you are usually watching a dream sequence.

In essence, The Boy is one stillborn terrorising tyke born out of artificial and tired creepy conventions.
