Review of Boogeyman

Boogeyman (2005)
2/10
not much of a story
6 January 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is basically based on the old child hood fear of the Boogeyman. Tim is afraid of closets and the boogeyman. He sees his father taken by the boogeyman as a child. From there, he's spent time in a child psychiatric hospital and eventually tells people his father simply left him and his mom. His mom passes away and he goes back home for the funeral. He decides to spend the night in his old house even though he is terrified of what he may find in the closet. We get quite a few "jump" moments, but the plot still has more holes than swiss cheese.

What did the strange vision of his mother at his girlfriend's house have to do with anything. And why all of a sudden do the closets turn into portals? And what about the ending, what happened to uncle Mike or Jessica? And the way Tim gets rid of the Boogeyman is stupid. The Boogeyman reminded me of the Creeper in Jeepers Creepers, except not as scary or creepy. The boogeyman was rather bland.

FINAL VERDICT: Not a very good horror film. Don't waste your time.
