I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Just what I expected

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

When I first saw this movie I like many people never really heard of it. Well their is a reason its not exactly brilliant or known for academy award acting. Its really not scary to adult I would say as it is somewhat predictable. With that being said its still a good film depending on what you would want out of it. Don't expect a horror film but rather expect huge laughs about a unraveling of a bratty,nerdy and quite weird neighborhood kid. Their is a lot to laugh at when its clear that the horror theme isn't even coming close with a over so trying character. It all starts when the boy notices the new family across the street and decides to meet them. LOVE at first sight. He becomes hooked and starts visiting on the daily. He grows increasingly stranger by the day and starts taking out whoever is in his way. The boys father is no help while its pretty apparent how he spoils him with his guilt about divorcing his mother. The movie is good not great. I would say see this to the viewer who like the laugh at unique humor when its not so easy to see.

I love this movie ever since I saw it on USA. However, it is out of print now & I'm hoping it will come back one day. The guy who played Johnny was the creepiest kid I've ever seen in a horror movie. Alexandra Paul was great as well. The girl who was her daughter though...well, stay away from acting, kid. Marc Marut's fits of rage were very, very believable in my opinion. This movie is a very good horror movie that I will recommend to anyone looking for a scare. I just hope I get to own this movie someday. This movie really isn't as bad as people think it is (at least in my opinion.) If you want to get a great scary thriller, get a subscription to The Paperboy!

The Paper Boy starts with 12 year old psycho paper boy Johnny McFarley (Marc Marut) suffocating his elderly neighbour Mrs. Thorpe with a plastic bag. Mrs. Thorpe's daughter Melissa (Alexandra Paul) & her young daughter Cammie (Brigid Tierney) fly in from Boston to attend the funeral, however no sooner has Melissa arrived at her Mother's house Johnny is trying to do things for her. At first Melissa just thinks that Johnny is a nice lad who comes round to play with Cammie but a darker side to Johnny emerges, Johnny is absolutely infatuated with Melissa & hides a two way baby monitor device in her house to listen in on every word Melissa says. Johnny turns his closet into a shrine dedicated to Melissa crammed full with photo's of her. Johnny buys her & Cammie expensive things, he is always hanging around, some of the things he says are unsettling, he becomes upset easily when Melissa ignores him & he will do anything to try & make her happy. All Johnny wants is a family, a Mother, someone to love him & he goes to murderous lengths to ensure Melissa & Cammie are that family he's looking for...This Canadian production (there's a surprise, not!) was directed by Douglas Jackson & is surely more than worth the description of crap. Much more a psychological thriller than straight horror the script by David E. Peckinpah has a ridiculous central premise, a homicidal emotionally messed up paper boy who turns to murder to get his own way. For starters I simply couldn't believe that someone thought making a film about a killer paper boy was a sensible idea! Us horror fans have had to put up with a lot, killer dentists, killer ice-cream men, mutant killer snowmen, killer insects & animals of all shapes, sizes & descriptions, killer aliens, killer ghosts, killer toys & dolls, killer cars, trucks & ships, killer Leprechaun's, killer plants, killer waxworks & a whole host of other bizarre homicidal maniacs besides but a killer paper boy? Surely that's stretching things just that bit too far? I mean the idea of a killer paper boy hardly sends shivers down my spine! The film is as dull as dishwater, it's slow & boring, it's predictable, the character's are bland & forgettable & as a whole the film did nothing for me whatsoever. I guess I just hated the wretched thing, plain & simple.Director Jackson does nothing to try & liven the tedium up, The Paper Boy is bland, forgettable & uninspired stuff throughout. There is zero tension, atmosphere or scares & the story is very pedestrian & obvious. In fact I couldn't make it through the thing in one sitting, I watched the first 50 odd minutes a couple of days ago & then since I'm such a masochist I forced myself to watch the rest of it yesterday, never let it be said I don't give a film a chance! Forget about any gore, violence or nudity because there ain't none.Technically The Paper Boy has that made-for-TV cheapness written all over it & I'm surprised it wasn't, I can barely remember a single shot from the thing. Surprisingly Alexandra Paul was in the middle of her Baywatch (1989 - 2001) stint when she made The Paper Boy & you thought Pamela Anderson made a bad career decision with Barb Wire (1996) just wait until you this this cinematic train wreck! To her credit though she is pretty good looking. I absolutely hated Marut, I thought he was awful as he was a whiny annoying pain to watch & I just wanted to grab him & give him a good slap. There certainly wasn't anything sinister or scary about his character which has to be his fault, right?The Paper Boy was crap, it's as simple & straight forward as that. I found no entertainment value here whatsoever & I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, probably one to avoid.

I watched the movie just today and I thought it was more hilarious than it was scary or a thriller. I don't know anyone who's actually found that movie scary, so obviously it isn't. I think I was probably in an energetic movie since I laughed the whole time. Just at the way Johny reacted to things.The cool thing about this movie about how Johny (Marc Marut) is very devilish and too obsessed, but most good movies aren't realistic at all. Hes a young kid around the age of 12-15 who has an obsession for a woman and his obsession goes a little too far causing people to die since they get in the way. I suspected that kid to be evil since he has some sort of innocent, yet a smart-a** side to him and its really disturbing. Many people will say it was a tasteless, corny and pretty lame movie, but the young actor couldn't have played his part better. He was really convincing!I'm not going to give a summary/ending or the whole point of the movie since thats a surprise for everyone else and I'm no good at it. I think the young actor plays a purfect part in it.
