If you were one of those kids that had to sleep with a light on – primarily because you thought there was something under your bed, in your closet or behind the bedroom door – then The Boogeyman will take you straight back to your unhappy place and leave you there. To be more accurate, this eerily unsettling new horror movie builds upon the most memorable aspect of King’s tale – a psych patient’s statements to his therapist about an indescribable monster that killed his three children – and constructs a launch pad to blast off towards new chills unknown.Īnd it is our collective fear of the unknown that The Boogeyman so effectively exploits throughout its brief, yet tension-riddled running time. You would not say exactly that The Boogeyman is adapted from the 1973 short story of the same name by the revered and prolific author Stephen King. Starring: Chris Messina, Sophie Thatcher, Vivien Lyra Blair
