Watch Boogeyman For Free

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie is the biggest pile of sh**that I have ever seen. Its probably the only "grown a**man afraid of closets" movie, and I'm grateful for that. What probably sounded good on paper comes off terribly as a movie. All the actors seem like they rather be doing ANYTHING else. If you like movies where a man lives in a house with absolutely no doors and features shots of people VERY slowly reaching their hand towards a doorknob and then VERY slowly opening it, this is the movie for you. Oh yeah, and the "bogeyman"? A VERY poorly made CGI creation that will have you laughing instead of screaming.

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.

A cliché title of the monster in the closet, a young man living in the countryside is traumatized by the terrible events of his past he experienced in his childhood bedroom. He decides to face the fears of this monstrous creature by returning to his childhood home.Though the movie's title sounds cliché, this film actually has a nice, flowing plot that is full of suspense that will keep the audience engaged. Even the subplot of the main character's family and his girlfriend is intriguing. The acting was decent and the horror elements and sequences of the Boogeyman will actually give you quite a scare and have you hold the handle of your seat a few times. One of the more scarier and better horror movies i've seen.Grade B-

If you look at the negative review on this site, you will see most of them don't like the film because it didn't fit their expectations of what a horror film was supposed to do. Which is almost a sure fire sign that the film was attempting something over their heads. In truth, this is a clever, well executed film. No, there's no character development, but that's not the point of the film. The film is wholly about the conflict between the boogeyman and the Tim. It is rather like a tight, horror short story, which frequently have only the moment of the event in question, and only as much outside as is needed.) No, they don't show much of the boogeyman. But, again, that is how the film works -- with glimpses, and very effectively. No, there is no back story to the boogeyman, but there does not need to be. Why does a hero have to know the full story of his enemy to fight them? They don't. All that is is a convention, that makes movies easier to understand.I watched this film (on DVD, but I also saw it in the theaters) right after watching _The Forsaken_, and found great humor in that all the visual techniques that were being tried in _The Forsaken_ -- which were not quite working, often because of timing, often because of execution -- were used also in _Boogeyman_, but so much more effectively and successfully. The thing is, it is not a conventional film. It is imaginative, creative, very clever in camera work and storyline.I give it 8 stars because I can't give 7.5. Definitely check this film out, but don't walk in with expectations. Perhaps this is a thinking person's horror (horror for those who are attentive to details). It is definitely one of the exceptions to the rule that horror needs to be rated R.
