Review

By John Chard

Sounds like Boo...

Bunch of pretty teens convene at an old abandoned mental hospital for Halloween. Things go awry.

Written and directed by Anthony C. Ferrante, Boo is either a loving homage to all things involving "haunted house" cinema? Or one of the laziest horror movies made in 2005?

Everything but the kitchen sink is thrown at the audience for this one, with the sound mix turned up to the max for, erm, max impact. The fear of this, the fear of that, what's real? What's not? And let there be blood! There will be blood!

Acting is ordinary, as is the writing, but scene setting and location filming is not half bad. In a nutshell, it's a horror film that you show to your pre-teen family members to prep them for far better horror pleasures in their up coming adult life. 4/10
