AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Buffronioc One of the wrost movies I have ever seen

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

glennspillman I can't believe I am being forced to write 10 sentences about this awful piece of crap movie! I seriously would like to know what in the heck the "casting director" was thinking when they cast these "actors" for this film. Now, I am not one to slam another artist, but there is bad acting, then there is just absolutely horrible acting. This production company must have paid these actors in peanuts, because if they got paid, well, then someone got robbed! Now let's move onto the director of this train wreck of a movie. What alternate universe was this person on to think that this was a good movie? I mean, you take a look at a scene or scenes during dailies, and they thought, "oh yeah, this is some good stuff?" The story actually had some potential, but it needed to be tweaked a little. They could have really gored it up on a very cheap budget, but instead, they made it look cheap and like they weren't even trying. I could hardly even watch it because I was tortured by all of the ammeter stuff going on. Some of the scenarios in the movie were even more ridiculous than the acting, if you can believe that. I watch at least two movies a day, and I watch them all the way through, but this one was more torture than most.

SoupMelon Make no mistake, this isn't a great movie. Don't come in with expectations set by the classics, come in with expectations for a B movie, and you'll get that plus a little something extra. Boo does a great job of breaking pace with most horror movies, not taking itself as seriously as better ones, while still having entertaining scenes. More or less, you could say it's a popcorn flick.On it's good side it has a few characters that act decently -Jessie, Freddy, Caitlin, and to a lesser extent Allan, and two characters who play their parts great- Arlo and Nurse Russel. The first four, at least, aren't too terrible, and at best, can make scenes comedic, interesting or simply making them work. The second two are great for different reasons: Arlo being an aging cop with a tendency for great one liners and making otherwise boring scenes hilarious. Nurse Russel plays her part in a quite serious tone, with the twist involving her at the end giving the film more of a purpose in hindsight. Boo also has some few genuinely creepy moments near the start of the film, making use of Dutchess and the abandoned hospital to build some suspense and tension, and a clown scene that won't be kind to Coulrophobic viewers.On it's bad side, the two great characters don't get all too many lines though they make the most of them, the rest of the cast that weren't mentioned tend to sway between average (for a B movie) and slightly below average, and specifically for Kevin so bad it's hard to decide if he's trying to make his character that bad or if it's the actor. The creepy moments of the film unfortunately are mostly found, as said, in the first part of the movie. There's also some notable horror movie logic, though at least no one suggested "I think it might be best if we split up".Overall, this movie can be entertaining and funny if you don't take it too seriously, has some small spots of originality, it's own B movie charm and some of the best one liners to come from a B movie in quite a while.

terrible2 Hmmmmm... I certainly understand a lot of the harsh criticism for "Boo", but I think some people may be looking at this harmless film the wrong way (or else I completely did)..."Boo" to me, seemed to be aimed more toward the "Occacianally watching" horror movie fan around Halloween-time, rather then the hardcore bloodhounds. The story seemed very "Tongue-in-cheek" and a little too cliché to be taken any other way. The acting was over the top and the setting had "Halloween Party" written all over it, so to me, I just watched as such and found it quite enjoyable... The cinematography looked great, and most of the "Jump" scares worked quite effectively, telling me that director Anthony Ferrante did his homework and produced a film destined for video store shelves. The silliness all seemed to be there for a reason and served it's purpose well, leaving the viewer wanting more. Again, I didn't go into this expecting "The Shinning", so maybe I'm wrong on every level, but I was not let down.After-all folks, the film is called "Boo"....

Zombified_660 I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from Boo. The title was pretty non-descript, and the box was covered in the kind of hyperbole every horror movie released in the west has had all over it's sleeve since 1976. About 10 minutes in, Boo was looking like it was going to plough forward like Dead Scared or the Convent without a sense of humour, and I was starting to get a bit bored.However, 20 minutes in the cast got into the haunted hospital, then it really picked up steam. The interior direction in the film is great, the hospital looks fantastic, almost as good as the hospital sets from Session 9 and Silent Hill, and the movie's atmosphere gets really tight and tense once the obligatory pack of kids is inside the building and the lights are down.Boo has a lot of little shocks, it's steadily paced so after that initial 10 minute lull you keep stopping and starting every five minutes or so. It doesn't have a lot in terms of scare set-pieces, but it's fast pacing and creepy atmosphere make up for the lack of truly terrifying scenes.In honesty, some of the movie is a little generic. If I see a post-Ring American psychological-horror that DOESN'T have a scary little kid wandering around it'll be a miracle. Thankfully they don't waste the cliché here and the little girl is pretty spooky, and responsible for what's probably the best scare in the film when one of the cast gets trapped in a room with her .The cast aren't magnificent either. The main bad guy is more irritating and whiny than fearsome and spooky, and aside from the lead girl the rest of the cast are amiable but completely disposable.Still, that's not necessarily important in a horror movie, what's key is that the film stays atmospheric and has good pacing and tension. Boo has all that and then some, so honestly you can overlook most of it's flaws.
