Unexpectedly gripping horror movie.
It suffers from a lack of genuine chills or suspense that renders its slight virtues rather moot.

Report
A film willing to cheat whatever way necessary to scare you... The good news is that once you leave the theatre, you'll never think of Boogeyman again.
The filmmakers are smart enough to keep the monster out of sight for a long time and then to show only glimpses, but a similar tactic of providing only glimpses of plot and character is disastrous.
It's difficult to remember a recent movie with less regard for spatial or temporal coherence. With the bar set so low, one wouldn't think the ending could possibly come as a letdown. Believe me, it does.
The only way to really describe Boogeyman is unmemorable. You've seen every horror movie trick and trope it uses a hundred times before making for one of the least scary horror movies you'll ever see. Not even the awesome Lucy Lawless can save this one and by the time the movie ends you'll be hard pushed to recall anything you've just watched.
