The Boogeyman - BLU-RAY [Standard]

Rob Savage's The Boogeyman is a surprisingly effective horror film, using its incredible cast to sell its monster exposition and craft rich, emotional characters. Star-in-the-making Sophie Thatcher owns the screen as our protagonist, still reeling from her mother's passing, and is forced to protect her little sister, the frightful and comedic gold Vivien Lyra Blair, from a terrifying sadistic entity. As their grieving father, Chris Messina could have been a stereotypical horror dad, yet he's able to find weight and sadness in his character as he comes to fully grasp the grief in his children and the horrors they face, thanks to a chilling harbinger in David Dastmalchian. With actually imaginative jump scares, Savage's direction shines here, a natural step up from Host and Dashcam's found footage schtick. Clever blocking emphasizes the characters and their risk visually upon the screen; with a monster that can emerge from anywhere, Savage employs impactful slow-mo and rapid moments to increase the anxiety and terror to an unrelenting degree.

I got this movie because it was cheap and it said Steven King wrote story. Didn't know what to expect. I was pleased with this movie very creepy moments and good visuals. A good story and characters. Picture and sound quality was great too.

One of the best scary movies made in the last five years.

Pretty good horror movie! Even though I didnt see the original boogeyman movie, but I enjoyed this one.

This is a decent movie, I think it is the 3rd Boogeyman movie that ive seen. The 1st Boogeyman movie I saw was back in the 1980's I thought that was pretty kool. I Really Do Not like that the Best Buys are Not selling movies anymore, I really like getting the Steelbook collectors box movies.
