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.

Bunch of pretty teens convene at an old abandoned mental hospital for Halloween. Things go awry.Written and directed by Anthony C. Ferrante, Boo is either a loving homage to all things involving "haunted house" cinema? Or one of the laziest horror movies made in 2005?Everything but the kitchen sink is thrown at the audience for this one, with the sound mix turned up to the max for, erm, max impact. The fear of this, the fear of that, what's real? What's not? And let there be blood! There will be blood!Acting is ordinary, as is the writing, but scene setting and location filming is not half bad. In a nutshell, it's a horror film that you show to your pre-teen family members to prep them for far better horror pleasures in their up coming adult life. 4/10

This movie sucks. It is not scary. It is not gruesome. It is not clever, well written or executed. And among other things that this movie is not, it is not worth watching. It seems that instead of trying to scare the audience, they tried to shock them. Noe see, if you're going to shock an audience, not only does it have to be so violent it could give an old age worker psychosis, but it also has to be gory. This movie lacks both. I'm guessing their effects budget was something like $20, cause' even I could do those effects. I actually got bored and went to sleep at the part with the clown with worms falling from it's legs. Dear god, I wasted about an hour of my life.

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.
