Fright fans expecting anything more than the occasional jolt will be sorely disappointed.

A vaporous and vacuous horror film.

None of this makes any sense whatsoever.

This is strictly substandard stuff, with imitative creepy noises, vertiginous camera angles, and long pauses during which Tim considers whether to open doors.

It suffers from a lack of genuine chills or suspense.

It's difficult to remember a recent movie with less regard for spatial or temporal coherence.

Only glimpses of the monster are seen in Stephen Kay's supernatural thriller. Unfortunately, the same is true of the movie's plot and character.

It squanders a promising plot about child abduction, preferring to go the literal route of chasing a spectral troublemaker with a bad case of claustrophobia.

Yeah, it's dumb, and it takes a long time to get to scenes that amount to anything other than cheap scares. But Boogeyman is not entirely artless.
