The Boogeyman (2023) is about a family of a male therapist who has to raise his two daughters by himself. He meetups with clients in his house until one day that this mysterious client appears. The mysterious client commits suicide inside their house while leaving a dark entity in the house with the family. The family of three start to endure the pain of the entity that brings to the family. It is up to them to stop the mysterious entity once and for all. I went to see an early access screening of The Boogeyman (2023) in a select theater, and I thought it was good. The first impression of the movie that it does deliver a slow burn, but it still delivers. The suspense and buildup of the movie itself and the character's dialogue of Sadie (Sophie Thatcher), Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair), and Will Harper (Chris Messina) are all important to the end. It was great to see the 1973 short story being adapted to the big screen as Stephen King's mind portrays fantasizing monsters come to life. The monster reveal was creepy and entertaining to watch at the same time. King does deliver a hidden theme of when we are all scared of the dark as well. The Boogeyman writers are the same minds who made A Quiet Place (2018) and director Rob Savage that made the movie horrific to say the least. Overall, The Boogeyman is good with its acting, suspense, and horror. I would recommend watching it in theaters for a good horror-thriller watch.
