“Brahms: The Boy II” (* out of four) was an insufferably dull sequel to a horror movie that no one was exactly screaming for a follow-up to; a stable family (Katie Holmes, Owain Yeoman, Christopher Convery) move into a new estate where the boy almost immediately starts engaging in suspicious activity when he befriends a life-like doll named Brahms and (yawn) all Hell breaks loose. Yet another horror story about a possessed child and a killer doll which really scares you into thinking that filmmakers simply don’t have any ideas anymore for new horror movies; film doesn’t even have the saving grace of any scares or humor. And what the hell is Holmes doing in this?
