Brahms: The Boy II (2020)

A new family moves to Heelshire Mansion in an attempt to recover from traumatic experiences, but new and old local events still show traces of the past.

A fairly standard horror film, the sequel to The Boy. The first film put us on a thought trail of the supernatural kind and then abruptly woke us to a much natural outcome, while this film confirms that we were right all along. Interesting as a 180-degree change in genre and style, but when it comes to its execution, Brahms lacks much and it relies too much on genre tropes (i.e. the much dreaded "jump scares").

Director:  William Brent Bell   
With: Katie Holmes, Christopher Convery, Owain Yeoman, Ralph Ineson

Rating: 6/10
