The Loneliest Boy in the World

Is a a teen romance? Horror? Comedy? Or just a splodge of all three?

It was set in America but filmed in england with half english actors with dodgy accents. Which added to the oddness I suppose. The acting was fine but the story was very juvenile with over the top performances. I certainly wouldnt pay to see it but if it came up streaming for free and you were a bit drunk then it might make a an OK evening. Otherwise I would avoid as there is much better stuff you could waste your time with.

Needed to be darker and less jokey. Basically a Halloween film for 12 year olds , which is probably the target audience.

Love the mix of horror and comedy (and some drama), two of my favourite genres. The delivery of satire was perfect. Had a laugh watching it. But what really attracted my eyes was the set. I love the atmosphere of a peaceful 80s house. The details, the set, everything! It was amazing, perfect, and beautifully executed - matched with such an amazing, underrated and talented cast that perfectly played their roles.

Honestly, a must-watch. Besides, Halloween is approaching. This would be a perfect movie for a night spent with family and friends. It sure captures the essence of halloween pretty well.

When I watched the trailer, I thought that this is a horror comedy about post zombie apocalyptic story. But as it turns out, it's not. It's very different from my initial impression. As someone who holds the importance of principle, I have to point out that this movie doesn't have any. It didn't explain how things were the way they were in it. Like how a group of corpses suddenly got reanimated. Was it the magic of Halloween (Samhain, the Wiccan's New Year) or was it a curse? Anything would suffice. But there was no explanation of how the corpses can come back to life. It's kinda crucial, if you ask me. Cause otherwise people can start making movies without rules, like pigs can fly or kitchen utensils can move by themselves. It's pure chaos and utter non sense. I should've given this movie 4 stars for this HUGE flaw. But seeing how this is a good-feel comedy, I've decided to bump it up by 2 stars.

No pun intended - it's all in the family and all that. Of course you have to suspend your disbelief with this one. While it seems to be based in reality, it really goes off the rails quite quickly. Try to see this as a fairy tale of sorts. A quite violent one - or at least brutal. Nothing for the sensitive souls for sure.

Good effects and a crazy story. Maybe you identify with the loneliness of the main character (well if you can call it that - he is not "alone" - or is he?) - but of course no one should try anything that is shown is tried at home. If you like weird stuff, you will feel right at home (no pun intended once again). This also has a killer poster art ... just saying.

I enjoyed this movie and found the premise quite unique and very entertaining. The title character was done quite well and combined a pleasant personality with a somewhat disturbing and quirky side that was amusing.

The entire cast did an excellent job and played it perfectly...again pleasant and yet that odd quirkiness that made them each very interesting!

Now for the MAJOR flaw. The movies was filmed in Wales with an all British cast, but set somewhere in the United States and with a story line purporting to be a young man trying to live the American dream, so what was the point of setting it in America?

That fact seemed pointless and detracted from the story. The thinly veiled British accents were quite apparent and to be honest, ANNOYING distracting. Everything was overtly British while pretending to be American?
