TL;DR Summary

"The Boogeyman," a horror movie based on a Stephen King short story, follows a family haunted by a supernatural killer after the death of their mother. However, the film's murky plot and lack of detail make it frustratingly difficult to follow, and the monster never takes satisfying shape. Despite a promising start, "The Boogeyman" struggles to deliver scares and relies heavily on sound design. Starring Chris Messina and Sophie Thatcher, the film is directed by Rob Savage and rated PG-13.
