Rob Savage's The Boogeyman (2023)

Rob Savage's The Boogeyman (2023)

This week, I'm taking a break from the coverage of televised Stephen King works to review this banger of a movie that passed me by when it first came out.

Starring rising Scream Queen Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets, Heretic, Companion), always likeable Chris Messina and everyone's favorite weirdo, David Dastmalchian (Late Night with the Devil), The Boogeyman tells the tale of a wounded family, recently shattered from the loss of its mother/wife, stalked by the mythological creature.

This very easily could have been a generic, run of the mill, cut and paste horror movie, but between the talent on screen, the believable characterizations, the lived-in-world of this family, the visual flourishes and the strong direction from Rob Savage (director of Host, the Zoom-inspired horror that you need to see if you haven't already), it is a must watch Stephen King adaptation.
