There are a job lot of films titled "Boogeyman". Let me start with the Ulli Lommel film The Boogeyman 1980. Then there is Stephen King's short film The Boogeyman 1982 which is free to see on the internet. Then there is Boogeyman 2(1983) and The Return Of The Boogeyman(1994). Then lastly there is the Stephen Kay directed Boogeyman(2005) film that I'm fond of. Stephen Kay's Boogeyman spawned two sequels Boogeyman 2(2007) and Boogeyman 3(2008).
So now let's BOOGIE with The Boogeyman 2023 edition based on the Stephen King short story. Simply put: it's about a house with an ancient creature living in it that feeds on the life force of unsuspecting victims. It has to terrify and isolate its chosen victim before it finally attacks and feeds. The house it currently inhabits has a sordid history of bizarre disappearances. Enter a family of three: Father, teenage daughter and her small sister. Soon they will realize they are not alone in the house and that something malevolent is stalking them at every turn...
This then is the premise of the film. Again shoddy casting has ruined the film. The sound effects are above average. The C. G. I. Effects are decent and not overdone. The direction is questionable. The movie is plain boring and only picks up towards the ending as with most substandard horror films. For the director it was a wasted effort. Demons, ghosts and whatnot do not exist. They only exist in the deluded mind. Up to now conclusive proof of ghosts and spirit entities have not been proven. Hell, they haven't even proven the existence of God.
Verdict: not recommended for seasoned horror buffs. I'm fond of the 2005 version of the Boogeyman and Sinister(2012) as purely fantasy entertainment. I would recommend you start watching wholesome family entertainment like the TV sitcoms of the 80's: The Jeffersons, The Cosby Show, Different Strokes, Sanford And Son, Goodtimes, Webster, Silver Spoons, Small Wonder and many more. Wholesome family entertainment and refreshment for the mind and soul. There's British comedy like The Two Ronnies and Mind Your Language TV show that are also very good. If you like detective series then the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes TV series and the Agatha Christie Poirot starring David Suchet is worthy entertainment. Also worth noting that some of these shows may be available to see for free online, so do check.
Thank you for reading this review and hope your lives are full of happiness and joy. Thank you once again.
