Don't listen to these other dull, non-creative reviews, this is a good movie
25 January 2016 | by (Michigan, United States) – See all my reviews

I will not give any spoilers in this review i just want to say this movie is a great, suspenseful, scary at times thriller. The Boy keeps you on the edge of your seats and requires someone with intelligence to understand this movie. It will have you thinking and saying "Ohhhh i understand now" after you walk out of the theater. There are moments that are funny and scary at the same time and its a great combination. Pay attention to the small things that occur in this movie and you will have a better understanding afterward. I highly suggest you see this movie, come in not knowing what to expect and pay attention and I promise you'll enjoy it!
