Nonsensical and unimaginative, the sequel offends on almost all counts. Even as a standalone, it's dull and rash. If this movie is an attempt at building a franchise, it's a poor jump-off.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 20, 2023

A dreadful trudge through dodgy horror clichés.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 11, 2021

Entertaining horror film, with a diabolical doll included, for an afternoon of scares, and little else. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5.3/10 | Jan 4, 2021

Trope after trope after trope.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 12, 2020

The first gave a fresh an unexpected twist. In the Boy II, filmmakers (same writer/director) decided to conform and step back in the horror cliche lines and make Brahms more stereotypical and uninteresting. What a shame.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jul 15, 2020

The biggest problem with Brahms: The Boy II is that there is almost nothing in the movie that is fresh or original.

| Jul 14, 2020

Most of the budget seem to have gone on Holmes' salary, as Brahms may have the least special effects of any horror film ever made.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 19, 2020

Brahms: The Boy II has good intentions, but they get lost in the middle. We shall hope we won't have to experience a third boy because one of them is really enough.

| May 4, 2020

The performances by the main characters are acceptable, however no amount of talent or scenery can outweigh this film's mediocrity.

| Mar 29, 2020

It is appreciated that it doesn't abuse of cheap scares, but it also doesn't make up for it with good horror scenes. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 12, 2020

A lackluster sequel to a lackluster original...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 6, 2020

What the film's director William Brent Bell and writer Stacey Menear do get right, however, is Brahms's ability to endear himself to those around him.

| Mar 6, 2020

This just didn't even hold a candle to the first. The premise was good and could have delivered, but in the simplest way to say it, it just didn't.

| Original Score: 4.9/10 | Mar 5, 2020

Awful, just terrible. Lacklustre in all departments, lacking in scares, atmosphere and tension with abysmal CGI and, as a final nail in the coffin, it's actually rather boring.

| Original Score: 1.5/10 | Mar 5, 2020

Alternative title...Braums: The Boy 2 Ending Explained, but it's really not complicated enough to warrant an explanation.

| Mar 5, 2020

This was stupid. Stupid. What was that I just saw? Ridiculous.

| Mar 5, 2020

Watching Brahms: The Boy II, one gets the feeling that the picture was only made on a dare.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 29, 2020

Quoth the other, more bewhiskered and musically inclined Brahms, "The only true immortality lies in one's children." Oh, Johannes, if only you knew.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 27, 2020

Filled with lifeless characters, basic jump-scares, and very little else, this useless horror sequel betrays whatever good ideas the 2016 original had in a poor attempt to create a monster franchise.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 27, 2020

Brahms: The Boy II simply doesn't work, an uninteresting and uninspired offering that is absent of scares. It's no lullaby, but it will still put you to sleep.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 26, 2020
