Critics Consensus

More likely to induce boredom than quicken the pulse, Brahms: The Boy II is chiefly scary for the way it undermines the effectiveness of its above-average predecessor.

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.

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

It's a grim sign that this clunky title turns out to be the most distinctive, memorable element of the film.

Brahms: The Boy II is a sincerely boring movie that does everything technically correct on paper. Casting, acting, pacing, direction – it’s all passable. The end result is boring as sin, though.

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.

It was entertaining throughout. The ending was a bit odd, but of course when setting up for another sequel I guess it has to be.
