I am a big fan of ghost stories, scary tales and urban legends. There have been different Boogeyman type movies (not based on Stephen King's tale) in the past that have disappointed me. However, this one finally gave satisfaction to the horror fan in me. It's been at least twenty years since I read Stephen King's "The Boogeyman" short story which I think was in his "Night Shift" collection. When watching the movie, I recognized the nod they gave to the dad being a psychiatrist and a patient showing up claiming stories of attacks by a boogeyman. I believe that's how the King story goes, but this one expands on that story and takes creative license. I think they did a superb job here. Very frightening with a few nice jump scares. The actresses playing the psychiatrists daughters/the young protagonists do an amazing job here and I really felt sympathy for them the entire movie. I really loved it and can't wait to watch again and add it to my digital collection once it's released in that format!
