Rating: 70/100 -- "The Boy" didn't screen for critics, but it's actually a pretty sturdy genre effort. Nearly free of gore... [the film] is careful and clever about revealing what Brahms really is, for he's certainly got a mind and will of his own. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- The Boy is strange, odd and even awkward but we hope the sequel is truly scary... the real deal. Full Review

Rating: 6.5/10 -- The Boy was much more successful than I imagined it could be. There were so many elements that worked in its favor such as the acting and an interesting plot line. Full Review

Rating: B -- "The Boy" is less about a life-size porcelain doll and more about the objectification of a vulnerable young woman by literally everyone around her. And the film is creepier and darker than you would expect in that regard. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Fans of Cohan and spooky flicks will find plenty to enjoy here - enough to give a positive recommendation for - but it will always feel like a missed opportunity not getting to see what we really hoped for. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Lauren Cohan is surprisingly decent acting alongside a porcelain doll), but the indisputable disaster of the story just ruins and squanders any semblance of entertainment value. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- The Boy certainly has its moments of shock value but the sluggish story feels lukewarm for the most part. It is such a shame that The Boy could not capitalize any further on its strange and hypnotic inclinations. Full Review
