10 Horror Movie Sequels That Pissed Everyone Off
10. Brahms: The Boy II
The Boy centres around a nanny called Greta who's hired to care for a boy called Brahms. Upon arriving in the house, Greta discovers Brahms is a porcelain doll, which the parents use to cope with the death of their son decades ago.
When the doll starts seemingly moving around by itself, Greta isn't sure if it's alive or if she's losing her mind. In the climax, we learn that the real Brahms - a human and not a possessed doll - has been living in the house's walls for years and has been moving the doll around to torment Greta.
However, this revelation is ignored in Brahms: The Boy II since the doll is retconned as a supernatural being! For some inexplicable reason, the doll now has organs and can move around by himself. Even though it's implied Brahms survived the events at the end of The Boy, there is no mention of him this time around.
Not only does this plot development contradict the premise of the previous entry, it makes this sequel feel like the shameless rip-off of Child's Play and Annabelle everyone groaned that the first was. It's also never explained how the doll exists since it was unmistakably destroyed in the conclusion of The Boy.
