Movie review: TheBoogeyman is an atmospherically overwrought, suspense-challenged collection of easy jump-scares and moldy cliches. 20thcentury
"The Boogeyman" -- ★ ★ "The Exorcist" director William Friedkin famously observed that the scariest thing in a horror film is a closed door.
by signing up you agree to our terms of service "It's the thing that comes for your kids when you're not paying attention!" gasps Lester Billings , a distraught dad whose three children died under mysterious circumstances. Apparently, he didn't pay enough attention after the first one died.
A horror film can't lose by falling back on the universal appeal of the"monster in the closet" or"creature under the bed" conventions, both of which figure prominently in this underwhelming adaptation of a 1973 Stephen King short story, adapted by"A Quiet Place" screenwriters Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, with Mark Heyman.
Little sister Sawyer already knows. The monster has already invaded her bedroom, which, like most of the movie, appears to be extremely dark even though the lights are on, and Sawyer brandishes a nifty visual prop, an illuminated globe.
