"The Boogeyman": A Stephen King-inspired horror film that divides audiences and critics.

The Boogeyman, a horror movie based on Stephen King's short story, has been terrifying test audiences and critics with its perfectly executed jump scares. Director Rob Savage had to pad out a scene to give the audience time to recover from one scare. Even the trailer was too much for some viewers. Stephen King's support and early reactions led to the film being released in theaters instead of exclusively on Hulu. The film focuses on a therapist and his daughters being terrorized by a supernatural force. The Boogeyman is now in theaters.

"The Boogeyman": A Stephen King Horror Adaptation That Will Leave You Nerve-Jangled

"The Boogeyman" is a formulaic horror movie that lacks emotional tact and relies heavily on peek-a-boo jump scares. Directed by Rob Savage, the film follows a therapist father and his two daughters who are terrorized by a dark-loving, door-bursting, child-terrorizing night monster. While the film's spare use of light and sound is clever, it neglects the potential of modern technology to thwart the monster. Overall, "The Boogeyman" is a dated pest control saga in need of an update.

"The Boogeyman" Review: Stephen King's Latest Adaptation Delivers Chilling Thrills

"The Boogeyman" starts as a subtle horror fable but quickly turns into a screeching, jump-scare creature feature, losing most of its merits. The film, based on Stephen King's short story, follows a therapist and a grieving father as they try to uncover the mystery of a monster that kills children. While the film has good ideas, it fails to be interesting or scary once the monster is revealed. The unknown is scarier than the known, and "The Boogeyman" fails to understand that.
