Review of The Boy Behind the Door (2020) by Reactuality — 25 Aug 2021
Either we're all getting dumber or someone's paying off critics here.
This movie was painfully, woefully dumb. Lazy writing, ridiculous plot with even more ridiculous loop holes and confusing, insulting character & narrative choices. I was so excited to screen this based off all the hype, and walked away wondering when the last time was I'd seen such a seriously weak film.
Whatever is going on here with current critical reviews, I'm not sure, but buyer beware. Unless your thing is to rejoice in the concept of being proudly offended by a topic that's literally been around for centuries - which isn't even taken on here with any real sense of bravery or understanding by the writers - or the theme of best friends till the end in a film can erase any & all of your general common sense and expectations of quality, reality, detail and respect to your intelligence, then I'd highly recommend passing this one up.
As a true lover of all genres of film, again, just wow. What a total bomb this was, not to mention a waste of time.
