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

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.

"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.

Rating: C --
[It] aims to set itself squarely in the fictional canon of Chucky and its brethren, but it ends up trying to do so much that it forgets to scare us.

Rating: 3/5 --
One of the more successful entries in the evil doll sub-genre, poking fun at itself at all the right moments. It is quite a bit of fun, despite its lack of inspiration.

"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.
