The Boogeyman does an outstanding job of terrifying without forgetting about the very human emotions & relationships that anchor & elevate the story.
Based on Stephen King’s short story of the same name, The Boogeyman smartly crafts a story that is as disconcerting as it is emotionally raw. There is something to be said about our society’s lack of openness about death and grief, but The Boogeyman definitely handles these themes well, all while connecting them with the horror of childhood fears — real and imagined.
The Boogeyman is genuinely unsettling. While there aren’t an excessive amount of jump scares, the ones that pop up are intense. Savage utilizes them spectacularly, heightening the tension and the fear of being caught by this gruesome monster. The boogeyman is used as a metaphor for dealing with grief and accepting death. Sadie attempts to talk about her mom, but her father is less willing to have that conversation, intent on keeping his emotions to himself and living in denial.
