Sick Boy

Almost seemed like a 28 Days Later "this is how it got loose" prequel. It's low budget for sure, but it's not near as bad as some of these trolls make it. It certainly scared me in places and I've seen a WHOLE lot worse films. This was actually gross and tense fun for me. Glad I hunted it down after being told I might like it. They did a good job making the kid pretty scary. I'd love to see a big budget version of this.

3/10. Simply terrible. I had to force myself to sit through this horrible attempt of a horror movie. The acting was terrible, there were parts that didn't make sense. Scenes of the movie which make you think, "I would not have done that" because they are so blatantly obvious as something not to do in a certain situation. The cinematography at times was awful with what looked like a shaking camera, i don't know maybe they did that for effect but some of the camera angles were just dreadful. Obviously, i didn't expect a blockbuster because of previous ratings from other reviewers but i decided to watch because i thought some reviewers downgrade some movies so much you wonder if that specific film was made on a £500 budget. Nonetheless, i sat through this low budget movie with some expectation at least because of the movie plot and was hugely disappointed with the climax to the end. The plot had potential and seemed like something every horror movie fan like me would love to get their teeth into and if it was made on a higher budget i doubt the movie would have been as bad as this. Would not recommend this movie to a friend, but if your new to horror movies... Don't let this movie change your mind about this genre, there are much better horror movies out there.

I know this has a bad rating, but I enjoyed the build of suspense and the fact that we got to know the characters a bit better. It was, on the whole, predictable but how many movies of this genre aren't?

If you give this one a chance and allow yourself to be drawn into the world of the characters (their arguments and issues ARE believable) you might actually find yourself enjoying it. I actually cared about Lucy's well being by the end and thing that the woman who played this part was a reasonably good actor. I found the boyfriend annoying and wondered why she didn't just dump him at one point, but I suppose that aspect of the dynamic and relationship are believable as well.

It is what it is and as an 83 minute distraction, you could do worse.

So I thought id give this movie a chance seeing as I'm a BIG horror fan.

Starts off well, kind of similar pace to Babysitter Wanted / HOTD with the teenage girl at the big babysitters house. A few good moments and builds a little tension throughout (well until the final act where it all falls apart) an obvious storyline which contained no real padding other than clues that lead us nowhere.

The acting on all parts is done pretty well but falls short here and there and the Chris character is totally unlikeable. Why do you want to marry him Lucy? Lol anyway its short enough to be enjoyable despite the stupidity of the characters near the end and one moment of awful CGI.

There's also is no end twist? Pretty basic from start to end. Not sure why other people are saying so...

As a matter of fact, I don't even know where to start... Everything is chaotic, nothing seems to be logical, which is the "less" problem. The acting is so individually terrible, I thought first, it must be a joke or just my eyes played some sort of tricky games, but no! And they call themselves "actors". No one in this film played decent or at least somewhere like average. My brain was irreparably damaged after this and I only suggest "Sick boy" to those people, who are enough crazy and agile. There was a moment in some of the conversations, when I tried to find out, which "actor" was worse and there was my laugh breaking the dumb silence... maybe it was a side effect, I don't really care.
