Movie Reviews of Boogeyman (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Scariest movie I've seen in a long time!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found "Boogeyman" to be an extremely frightening movie. I saw it three days ago and even now, the thought of it makes my heart stop for a few seconds.
It begins with a young boy, named Tim, who watches helplessly as his father is taken by the boogeyman. Fifteen years later, Tim is a successful young man with a beautiful girlfriend, but is still haunted by a seemingly unreasonable fear of closets. (He's been convinced by shrinks over the years that his father left him and his mom and that the boogeyman story was his way of dealing with it as a child. They never listen to the kids, do they?)
When his mother dies, his psychiatrist recommends staying overnight as his old house to prove that there's nothing in there. (Famous last words...) There are a lot of spooky sounds and creepy memories in the next few scenes, but, in my opinion, things really get good when Tim meets a young girl named Franny, who is aparently being bothered by the boogeyman as well.
I won't go into details too much about Franny...that's part of the surprise close to the ending. People a little more, um, sophisticated than me will probably be able to figure it out before the fact.
The only thing I would have changed about this movie would have been just a little falling action before the ending. Movies these days tend to end too abrubtly for my liking. There's all the rising action, than the climax and then....here come the credits. I need some closure! Other than that, the movie was perfect.
If you are into lots of violence, gore and slasher-movie type stuff, then this isn't for you. But, if you, like me, are still scared by old childhood horrors, this movie is right up your alley.
On a personal note, I think the thing I truly liked best about "Boogeyman" was that it was able to scare me. (Most of the movie was viewed from in between my fingers.) So many people have become so jaded that nothing shocks or appalls anymore. Being scared to that point where I can't even scream in horror reminds me that I am capable of being scared and that I'm not as in control as my adult mind likes to believe. I truly hope more movies just as frightening (if not more so) than this come out.
