Reviews
For a good, healthy PG-13 scare, Boogeyman is fun for the whole family -- just don't bring kids who are too young.
So boring, derivative and patently inane that hate is entirely too strong an emotion to attribute to it. You're either in the target demographic or you're not.
Teenagers will probably have a blast with the cheap scares and simplistic story, but for horror veterans or those looking for something new, this is not the film to see.
Director Kay provides the trappings, but if you want horror, you'll need to bring your own.
Boogeyman is that bull’s eye example which begins its immediate downfall once Barry Watson of “7th Heaven” misfortune appears on screen.
Fright fans expecting anything more than the occasional jolt will be sorely disappointed.
When the theater lights come up, this Boogeyman is nothing but a bad memory.
I spent most of the movie struggling not to throw something at the screen or disrupt the other patrons by screaming in frustration.
O título brasileiro desta produção (O Pesadelo) sintetiza perfeitamente o que significa a experiência de ser obrigado a assisti-la.
It opens with one of the most effective scare sequences in recent memory, one that recalls us to the fears of childhood and sets the tone for the rest of the picture.
A bland affair with none of the imagination that distinguishes the best horror movies.
Confusing, badly written, poorly acted horror film that trots out a few clichés and eventually throws some semi-decent effects at them, in the mistaken belief that the audience won't be bored to tears.
