The Bye Bye Man (2017)

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This has got to be one of the laziest horror movies i've seen recently. I tried watching it with an open mind, i've heard how bad it supposedly was, but i was willing to give it a chance. Five minutes into the movie i was very confused; it looks like a parody, the concept is very silly but they took it way too seriously and it was poorly, poorly executed.I think the story made no sense whatsoever, they set up this urban legened-type character, but they gave him no backstory and no real purpose. You say his name, he comes for you, but he doesn't kill you, he just... makes you see things? And you kill yourself? And what's with the coins and the train? And the awful CGI dog? I believe the filmakers wanted to start this urban legend where people would spread their theories around the internet and such, but they fail to make it interesting or scary enough.Also the acting is embarrasing, the editing is amateurish and the directing feels rushed and sloppy, like the director wanted to make this as quickly as possible and the editor tried to make a coherent product but he also failed.But i would be lying if say i didn't have a good time, it's an interesting experience, it's kinda amusing to watch and be constantly asking yourself if they were serious about the decisions the makers of the movie made. I guess it's one of those " see it to believe it" kind of movies.

I should've known, all the evidence was there. First January weekend release, low budget horror, negative reviews, all the signs indicating that this was going to be terrible. I just didn't know it was going to be THIS atrocious. It revolves around a group of teenagers who rent a house, everything is great until one of them sees the name "The Bye Bye Man" etched onto some furniture. Unfortunately for that individual, you can't say or even think of the name otherwise he will come for you. A representation of how an idea can manifest the mind, metaphorically conveying the sins of our...oh who am I even kidding, it's just an old man in a cloak. The mythology behind "The Bye Bye Man", in retrospect, is quite stupid. Subconsciously you will always think about the name, so really if you ever see those words...you're pretty much done for. Adios. See you later! Keeping the above in mind, no thrills can effectively be produced because the characters are going to die anyway. You can't stop yourself thinking of something, 'Inception' taught us this! Regardless, this was utter rubbish. Aside from the promising opening sequence and Carrie-Anne Moss doing her best Trinity impression (*cough* lifeless *cough*) there was nothing original here. Just one or two jump scares and some kids rapidly going insane shouting "Don't say it! Don't think it!". The characters had as much development as the antagonist's name (hint: none) and the acting was truly awful, particularly Bonas. It was borderline TV movie standard. The "scares" were just loud noises or plastic stunt dolls unexpectedly getting demolished by an oncoming vehicle, that's it. They even CGI'd his skinless hell hound, badly may I just say. Wait, why does he even have one!? Who is "The Bye Bye Man"? Why is there a guy called Virgil? Did he seriously look up "The Bye Bye Man" on a search engine, in a library? Why am I wasting precious life watching this!? Urgh, I'm done. Uninteresting, unoriginal, unexciting and damn un-fricking-scary. I'm waving goodbye to this trash.

I would ignore the bad reviews, and the low rating, and give it a shot. I guess most people these days don't understand the concept of a good horror movie. I almost passed because of the silly title, but I was entertained throughout.

Stupidest horror movie that i have ever seen, and i saw blair witch 2, and all of the friday the 13th movies, everything is so poorly acted and poorly written than it just comes of as stupid, the bye bye man is the stupidest name that i have ever scene, stupid stupid stupid
