Boo

2005 · 94 min

A scrappy haunted-house thrill ride that mixes cheap scares with goofy banter, never too serious and easy to shrug off.

Tagline: You don't have a ghost of a chance.
Overview: The friends Emmett, Freddy, Marie, Kevin and his reluctant girlfriend Jessie decide to spend the Halloween night in an abandoned hospital. Meanwhile, the younger Allan meets the old friend of his father Arlo Ray Baines and asks him to help to find his vanished sister Meg in the same spot. The two groups meet each other in the mental institution section on the haunted third floor.
How it feels: Eerie, tense, campy and dark. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Death, survival, isolation, betrayal
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
