I’m not sure why so many people are hating on this movie. I thought it was actually pretty good. It had some good build ups, some good jump scares, and some really nice creepy scenes. This was definitely one of the more better horror movies that I think has come out this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a franchise with a bunch of follow ups.

Another bad king's movie adaptation. This movie look like a Disney show, dumb adults, no script, no make Sense Situations, like a man suicide in your house and the same day you aré singing lullabies to your daughter in the same house..

I was a bit disappointed with this, but that's probably my own fault for taking the title so literally. I went in expecting a nice boogie. I was even practising some of my dance moves in the kitchen while I made dinner before I sat down to watch it. Instead of a movie about a man who loves to boogie, I was subjected to a movie about people who are scared of the dark. It wasn't a bad movie, but I wouldn't call it great either.

I like Sophie Thatcher, but if I could give her character some advice it would be that she should buy a flashlight and maybe also turn on the lights.

I watched The Boogeyman tonight at a (single day early) preview screening, and loved it. It’s not just jump scares, there’s real tension and buildup. They perfectly recreate the noises of wooden floors that you as a child used to lie there too scared to move while trying to figure out what it was while at your aunt & uncles farm in rural Queensland near Biloela. The level of dark around certain parts of the room. The unease if there’s something there or your eyes are playing tricks on you or not. Did you really hear those noises, were they voices?

This movie wasn’t directed by someone trying to make a horror movie for audiences and ratings. No, this movie was directed by someone trying to re-create childhood terrors and trauma.

Normally with horror movies I say it makes no difference if you watch it with the lights on or off.

Watch this one with the lights off. But have a torch handy. For your own protection.

I can't say that its bad, it's just something you've seen before. Might have expected more than I should've, but nothing new here. Still worth a watch though. Just not something you need to go out of your way to see.

I actually enjoyed this, watching it for what it was and not expecting something entirely new and fresh. Some solid acting, some nice jump scares thrown in and a fairly well fleshed out plot, it's simple and does what you'd expect.

Just a bad version of everything else you’ve already seen. Some hilarious choices that add up to nothing, I guess I should have expected it.

I mean, I'm a sucker for [spoiler]wendigos[/spoiler], so I liked that part. And Sophie Thatcher. The rest is exactly like you would assume it would be. Seen a thousand times and kinda boring at that point. At least some jump scares were not as cheap as others, I guess.

Idk… maybe my expectations were too high because of Stephen King. It is just a boring cliche.

That was a fun horror, enjoyed it, worth your time, loved it, a closet full of decent creepiness, effects, plot and cast that all work well together.

bro, just turn on the damn lights smh

was it predictable and tropey? sure but it was still a very solid studio horror film and I genuinely enjoyed it and thought the creature design was freaky! also loved how female-centric it was

are these people sure they don't live in hawkins, indiana

It tries to be elevated horror at the expense of horror and elevation.

The Boogeyman as a literal monster is not nearly as scary as a psychological one. Granted, the film successfully portrays the terror of a dark closet to a young child in bed alone. If only it could maintain that level of fear throughout.

Was anyone else disappointed in this? Don't get me wrong, there was decent storytelling and the filming added sufficient creep factors but it ultimately felt like a remake of Lights Out with the Striga monster from the show Supernatural. [Spoiler] And what was with the happy spiritual ending? If you're gonna bring mom into it to save the day, she needs to be present throughout and I got none of that while watching.[/spoiler]

Just a boring monster movie, no real scares, no surprise ending.
Nothing to see here.
If your looking to waist some time, this movie definitely has time wasting nailed.

While the jumpscares are very obvious and nothing stands out too much regarding this movie, I think this a good watch for anyone who likes horror. There seems to at least be an emotional core to the plot and this is very well-directed. This movie also leaves things just vague enough that you aren't questioning too many aspects of the film.

it's a great movie to watch in the dark when a nice sound system is pretty scary because you here all the surroundings is a great scary movie I'll give it a 10

As scary as watching people put on sunscreen: A movie about people avoiding danger and not getting hurt isn't horror, it's going to work.

As a fan of Dashcam and Host, I was hoping for more than a Goosebumps reboot from Rob Savage.
