Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Leofwine_draca BOO is your typical indie horror flick set in an abandoned hospital. A bunch of unlikeable characters decide to visit and find out the place is haunted by sinister spirits from the past. Now, this is still a very bad film, completely clichéd throughout and lacking in interest, but it's better than a lot of indies I've watched recently. There's a cameo from Dee Wallace as a nurse, the film's quite well shot, and the script's a little perkier than normal.

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.

psy-Crow this movie is hilarious in the most unintentional way. the characters are rather forgettable (apart for the black-sploitation cop) but even then the dialogue is so cheesy and off-beat that you don't care what their saying anyway. I'll give it a 5 for atmosphere I dig haunted hospitals. the fact that the movie takes place on Halloween is ditched pretty quickly and serves only as an excuse for there to be jack-o-lanterns everywhere. I couldn't help but find my self MST3King through this whole movie and thats really the best way to watch it. if you want to watch some bad movies with friends at a party or whatever then give it a watch and get ready to laugh but if you want a serious horror movie set in an asylum then pick up session 9.

Paul Andrews Boo is set on Halloween as macho man Kevin (Jilon Ghai) & his mate Freddy (Josh Holt) dare two girls Jessie (Trish Coren) & Marie (Nicole Rayburn) to spend the night in an old supposedly haunted mental hospital called the Linda Vista, although not keen at first the two girls eventually agree. What Jessie & Marie don't know is that a third guy named Emmett (Happy Mahaney) has rigged the place with spooky cheap scares but soon finds outs that hospital is haunted anyway. As the four teens turn up & enter the hospital things go from bad to worse as an evil ghost tries to possess them in order to leave the confines the hospital & with all the doors & windows boarded up they are all trapped inside...Written & directed by Anthony C. Ferrante this haunted house ghost film was just about watchable but nothing special, to be honest I will have probably totally forgotten about it by the end of the week. The set-up is pretty typical stuff, a group of teens decide to spend the night in some creepy abandoned place which has various ghost stories surrounding it & find to their cost that the stories were real. At 90 odd minutes it has a reasonable pace although it does drag at times with seemingly endless shots of teens wandering around dark corridors & the story itself just isn't that gripping or satisfying. The narrative is poor with too many random occurrences or things which just aren't explained, how does the ghost of Jacob possess someone? I mean if the teens are there why doesn't he just possess them as soon as his previous body is killed? What's with the random clown with no feet that levitates for a few seconds, changes the expression on it's face mask & then just collapse are bleeding maggots & worms? What were all the flashbacks by Jessie all about? Why was she having vivid flashbacks to moments she couldn't have known anything about? How was her mother involved? Where did those keys she found come from? Why not tell her friends about them? Why does Jacob not want to live in a human body anymore at the end? It's never made clear. Also what's with the black cop who appeared in an in film film? Does that have relevance at all? Why did possessed people explode when shot? To be fair to Boo it's not the worst teen horror film out there but it's far from the best, one or two lines of dialogue are amusing with 'if you shoot me in the face I'll kick your ass' probably the highlight. A bit of a mess really, for every positive Boo has there's a negative.The feel & atmosphere of Boo is alright, the sets are quite moody but just covering everything in shadow does tend to get boring & the lack of any real visuals other than black gets annoying. There's a bit of gore & pleasingly the CGI computer effects are kept to a minimum with the majority of the gore achieved with practical on-set effect, there's a skinned dog whose head is blown off, a few exploding people, some decent skin melting effects, a melted hand & decent amounts of blood splatter. There's some blatant horror film rip-offs going on here with an opening sequence that is a mix between Halloween (1978) & Scream (1996) while the film after feels like a cross between House on Haunted Hill (1999) & The Grudge (2004).Apparently shot at the end of 2003 this wasn't released anywhere until mid 2006 which is no great surprise. Actress Dee Wallace has a small cameo while the rest of the cast are pretty poor.Boo is not I film that I thought was particularly good, it has a few moments I suppose but the messy script & poor narrative along with an all too familiar feel means I can't even describe Boo as mediocre, it's slightly below average but having said that it's not the worst film out there it's just that it's nowhere near the best either.
