The new horror from director Rob Savage, TheBoogeyman, is a frightful Stephen King adaptation at its best when its monster remains more mysterious. Our review:
So you want to make an adaptation of a Stephen King story. How do you go about it? There are plenty who have tried with some creating bold visions that have gone in their own directions while others have strived to be as faithful as possible to the original text. No matter the approach, the adaptations that have endured are few and far between.
The central component about masculinity, with its posturing around strength actually betraying weakness that could lead to destruction, is both softened and molded into a more modern reflection on dealing with loss. Some of this works, mainly due to the work of the always reliable Chris Messina as a flawed patriarch who finds himself out of his depth, while other moments lack tact and end up spelling things out.
The task of offering said explanations falls to the magnificent yet underutilized Marin Ireland of the disquieting upcoming horror film Birth/Rebirth. While discussions of the precise characteristics of her part in this story are best kept to a minimum to avoid spoilers, she steals the brief scattering of scenes that she gets. The unfortunate reality is that her role represents the film's attempt to make something fundamentally unknowable into something more knowable and, thus, safe.
