The Loneliest Boy in the World

Is just around the corner, filled with dead and creepy skeltonized figures wherever you turn around, and its surtainly the season to be jolly if you like horror comedies like the one i review here, or the more smashier of the matter.

This is all happening in the glorious 80's, when the music whamed you and still do, a lonely boy has to make a friendship or go to the house of insane...

well he makes friends for sure, quite a neckrofilia love story it is, with a sharp script and a naive style of acting that may feel by far gotten by the most horristic part of the audience, but comedywise and as a decent look at the halloween traditions made in the u.s.a. It really follows the thick red line, with pinkish backgrounds and superstyled set decorations and and choice of locations is superbly done.

My acclaim though goes to the makeup and specialeffects departments, the yokes made arent the most advanced nor costliest in the movie business but they work. The script is filled with dead earnest irony and picrasy, well hidden in the acts and words performed by a rather pictorial whacked out acting crew. Playing dead aint easy and they know the acts of stilleben, and doing the most hilarious acts to countermeassure your angsts and other frights in life...

a well made film, perfect playtime, and wellmade and chosen score. The grumpy old man wouldve died from laughter if seen back in the eighties, but it still have that tremendous power to make me laugh (with my spouce) today too. A recommend...

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.

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?

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.

The Loneliest Boy in the World is a unique story about a teenage boy who lost his mother in what he calls and accident. After being told to find friends, which is not an easy task for him, he begins to make his own by digging up corpses from recently passed people. He creates his own family of dead bodies in his house. But one day he wakes up to find them more alive than ever...

The movie is colorful and stylish, the actors do a good job portraying their characters, however this movie is riddled with clichés and plot holes. There are several things that are not adding up and the movie feels like it is unsure what it wants to be. It plays out like a kid's movie with horror aspects but has an R-rating and I think the movie should have decided for either one of those. It could have been much darker and more horrifying with more absurd and crazy storytelling, but it chooses to be a mixture and therefore be rather forgettable. [5,1/10]
