, 65% Audience Score- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsIt was just okay, not the worst but there are a lot better scary movies out there.
- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsDefinitely one of the better horror movies that I’ve seen in awhile. While not the scariest movie ever made it still has some pretty decent jump scares.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsVery forgettable and unoriginal, had some decent cinematics and I don't regret watching it; but I also forgot it existed until just now two years later.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsI found it a little boring and I wasn't really scared at times, but I still enjoyed watching it. It does not do a good job with the horror element, but I felt connected with the characters and wanted to see how their stories played out. Overall, not a good horror movie, but still enjoyable to watch.
- Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsDespite the clumsy pacing and some scares that rarely work, The Boogeyman features a talented cast and a very well-crafted dark atmosphere. Sophie Thatcher is the new Scream Queen and her performances are the best since she entered the world of horror. So, if you want to pass the time and not feel dissatisfied, Boogeyman is a pretty interesting choice.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsThere are so many disappointing films made from Stephen King stories, I wasn’t expecting much from this. But it was genuinely scary, a really well made film with a good story and cast! Restored my faith in King adaptations, give it a go!
- Rating: 2.5 out of 5 starsReminded me too much of a lot of other movies
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsLoosing a family member and especially when it's the motherly love and care that's devastating. And this sorrow and loneliness these two kids feel is cleverly portrayed using a malevolent presence. Trauma that dwells in dark places, clinging onto memories, putting on the dresses of the dead, lift of the screentime ban and avoidance of the widower are the many symptoms of a collective breakdown. And this drama explores the closed closets of the grieving with perfect visuals and emotional audio effects. Sincere performance by the cast. It's a good dose of scares and a great story about recovering from a loss together.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsNot having bread, The Stephen King source Material, I looked at this film purely from a film buffs Perspective and found The Scenes with The main creature appearing in the shadows to be very suspenseful due to the use of lighting and ominous music creating a lot of Build Up. With some very solid performances by Sophie Thatcher, And The incredibly talented young actress Vivien Lyra Blair Who I am a huge fan of since watching her in both Game of Thrones and The Last of Us. She’s a very gifted child Actress. I love the way that the creature/boogeyman Not only looked creepy but was also able to mimic human voices adding a human element to its nature making it seem somehow more real than a regular monster Added an extra level of horror to the film. And whilst many people seem to have disliked this film adaptation I found it quite satisfying as far as horror movies go and actually feel it is one of the Better horror movies I’ve seen in a while because from my perspective I feel that most movies that fit into the horror genre are usually quite B Grade Regardless, except for a rare few. So I never have a high expectations going in Meaning that I am rarely disappointed and have grown to become a huge lover of the horror genre in general all in all I would recommend this to anyone who likes A suspenseful creature feature type horror.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsGood jump scares and atmosphere. Definitely enjoyed.
