The Boogeyman (I) (2023)
5/10
Good start, but...

Warning: Spoilers
The first half of the movie was great - atmospheric and seemed like it was leading to a creepy final act. However, it felt like they suddenly realized that they still had 30 minutes to pad out. So, they just threw together some random scenes that completely ruined the pacing. And then it turns into a creature feature? Why? I thought it was mostly supernatural. And you're telling me that this thing can take ten consecutive shotgun shots and be fine, but a spray can and a lighter is what really messes it up?

Just an OK movie overall - it could've been great without the pacing issues and if they were able to keep the creepy atmosphere of the first half. Unfortunately, as it is, just like many of Stephen King's adaptations, this one is bound to fade in mediocrity.
