Boogeyman Audience Reviews

Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
LtlHippo This was just horrible. Special effects weren't that great, it's like let's get a big fan, blow crap all around and then speed it up. Acting not great. Even Emily couldn't save this turkey. Stupid plot. No wait, there was really no plot or conclusion. Skip this one.
jacobjohntaylor1 I is one of the scariest movies ever. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. I can not believe I got a 4.1. Come on it is a 10. It is scarier then The Shinning and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. I think the people who do not like this movie just do not know a good horror movie when they see it. Do not lesson to the haters. If you like really scary movies you need to see this movie. It will scary you. And if it does not know movie will. I can not believe people hate this movie.
GL84 Returning home after his mother's death, a troubled man returns to his childhood home to put his childhood fears of a supernatural entity to rest and stumbles upon the creature intent on targeting him for escaping his clutches years ago.Overall this one here wasn't all that bad and did have some good things going for it. One of the best parts here is the great atmosphere within this one, which makes for a much more chilling effort than expected generated by some really strong scenes here. The opening sequence, where the hooded figure runs around the bedroom and hides in the close leading to the chilling attack that's terrifying to see unfold in front of a child, is a real standout not just for the attack by the creepy set-up in his room that continues the feeling of dread throughout here is other great scenes with the several flashbacks to how he became tormented by the spirit. The other really impressive scenes, from the scene of him walking through the house and letting the atmosphere wash over the scene, a later encounter where he's accidentally locked inside a closet and readily freaks out thinking he's under attack and the really fun scene at the motel where it takes his girlfriend by appearing as a specter of dirty water attacking both her and him which is all sorts of fun here with the highly charged action making the creepy events portrayed within come off even better, all give this one some truly enjoyable scenes that bring along some really creepy moments as well. Other fun times occur here with the storyline helping the stolen ghost children, from their initial scene swarming over him to protect them while he pieces together their actual fates and the really enjoyable scenes where they visit her home with the posters along the wall and the different revelations that come from this which gives this the set=up from the wholly fun and intense finale. Filled with lots of high-end action of them chasing him through the different confrontations here as it takes out the family members in fun moments while bringing along the incredible final confrontations that has a large amount of fun with the way it leads up to dealing with the creature which ends this on a high note. Along with the creepy being itself, these give it some really enjoyable parts to overcome the minor flaws here. The film's biggest problems stems from the wholly impossible way to determine what's going on here, from the way it keeps running through time in the finale where the different methods here for determining the course of action doesn't seem likely to occur from future incidents back in the past, and the whole situation itself makes so little sense. That the entire scene here in the finale works it's way here is what really takes of while to work through and causes this one to really stand-out. The other flaw here for this one is the somewhat tame feeling on display here, with nothing here in the way of kills or violence here as they're all dragged way or feature nothing of any real value here, and the exceptionally low body-count doesn't help matters much with a rather small opportunity to choose from. These here are what hold this back.Rated PG-13: Violence, Language, Brief Nudity and constant themes of children-in-jeopardy.
gavin6942 A young man (Barry Watson) tries to deal with the childhood terror that has affected his life.Is Emily Deschanel the poor man's Deschanel? In 2005, this might have been the case. Sister Zooey was already huge with films like "Elf". But soon, you know what? Emily would go on to do over 200 episodes as the lead character in "Bones". (Though her name is still probably not as well known, her success is not debatable.) This film seems to have terrible ratings... and yet they made some sequels? It's not actually a bad movie. If anything, maybe people were disappointed that we see so little of this "boogeyman" monster... but that should not be a strike against it. Rather than scare us outright, they worked on building the suspense. And that, to me, is the more challenging approach.
