Review of The Boy

The Boy (I) (2015)
5/10
Works for a thriller, or a drama.
26 February 2016
I gave it 5 stars, I would have went for 6 but if I consider it a horror, it has way too little to offer.

The plot is smarter than I thought, has a deep level, it surely takes its time with us, but it goes there and it concludes the story in a good way. The acting was OK, not so great coming from the kid but the rest of the cast was class A. Of course the motel part, well that is more of an American thing right there, cause it's hard for others to see how that could work or be for real. You'll see what I'm talking about once you see the movie.

Other aspects? Well it sure has its disturbing moments, the building towards the climax is well done, the ending is satisfying. But I would always recommend |The Good Son over this.

Cheers!
