Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Nowhere near scary enough to be true horror nor schlocky enough to be good fun, The Boogeyman drowns in its own self-seriousness to be boring, illogical and just flat-out stupid.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: In adapting King’s tale, screenwriters…have turned it into a literal monster movie and it’s all the lesser for it, the type of ‘fear of the dark’ movie whose characters nonetheless seem averse to turning a light on.
- Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: One of the better (and more assertive) adaptations of Steven King, ‘The Boogeyman’ is a well-directed, well-acted slice of classic ‘fear the dark’ horror. It’s scary, it’ll make you jump, and it’s somehow only rated PG-13.
- João Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
- [New] | Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: It manages to develop several suspenseful sequences; some jump scares took me by surprise; the theme of grief and family issues gives the characters some dimension, and Sophie Thatcher (of whom I’m already a fan) stands out.
