Brahms: The Boy II

(This contains spoilers for both “The Boy” and “Brahms: The Boy II”) I have never made a review on a movie before but this infuriated me so much I felt it deserves my two cents. The original “The Boy” is honestly up there in my favorite horror films, this movie however is subpar. In fact subpar is an understatement on how awful it is. The point of the original film was that the doll was NOT possessed and it was actually the son of the estate Brahms. The doll was named after Brahms, and the whole point of the doll’s existence is to replace the child Brahms. The sequel Takes the entire plot of the original and tosses it into a fire. The timelines do not match up and the origins don’t make a lick of sense. They basically took the setting of “The Boy” and turned it into Chucky. This movie just feels like a money grab. Not to mention the acting of the child (Jude) honestly wasn’t very good. I think everyone else was fine, especially the little girl I think she did wonderful for such a small roll. So in short this sequel is a disgrace and spits in the eye of the original, and I suggest all copies be burned.

Wasn't the worst film I've ever seen. It had a basic story. The third act was a little over the top and turned more supernatural/chucky-esque. Quite predictable. Acting was good.

If the first Boy movie barely floated, this sequel sinks to the depths.

If you have any respect for yourself you will avoid this one at all costs. You hate really all I have to say, I feel bad for myself I really do. .5/5 stars. The most boring horror movie ever.

The movie was kinda boring completely changing it from making you think the doll is possessed to it actually being possessed.

one of those creepy doll horror movies. kinda meh

Best of the series IMO

no brahms, horrible, 0/0

This horror film, by William Bell, does a great job of following the narrative from the first movie. At first, I did not know how the first scene in the film was going to tie into the story line of Brahms the doll, but the directors and writers did a great job of tying in both stories together to create a great horror story to continue from the first movie. I watched "The Boy" for the first time in 2017 and was not expecting a sequel to come out based on the ending of that movie. But now I stand corrected because the authors did a great job of keeping the story line living on and creating even more interest with what had happened in the first movie plot. I was very enticed the whole movie and had confusion of what was occurring because of the ending in the first. I kept thinking of how these mysterious activities were happening during the entire movie. Then just like that, the whole scene of what was going on became so evident to my eye and I knew how this was continuing without the actual psycho in the walls. The actual presence that controlled the system since the early, early ages was not seen to be possible the whole first and second movie. I believe this horror movie did a great job of continuing more of a suspicion rather than apparent, visual actions occurring to keep the viewers eye on all of the scenes. I rate this move three and a half stars because it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time, but it was not as scary as the first one in my opinion. I was expecting more violence and aggravation throughout the movie but there were only a couple of moments that showed these activities. I feel as if there were more possible scenarios within the movie that more action could have happened. I do recommend watching this movie to my peers because it does do a great job of living on the horrendous story of Brahms.

As if the first wasn't bad enough, here comes an even more ridiculous sequel. If only there were a zero stars option. Way too many sequels of everything, done horribly wrong, but that's Hollywood.
