Idk… maybe my expectations were too high because of Stephen King. It is just a boring cliche.

I was a bit disappointed with this, but that's probably my own fault for taking the title so literally. I went in expecting a nice boogie. I was even practising some of my dance moves in the kitchen while I made dinner before I sat down to watch it. Instead of a movie about a man who loves to boogie, I was subjected to a movie about people who are scared of the dark. It wasn't a bad movie, but I wouldn't call it great either. I like Sophie Thatcher, but if I could give her character some advice it would be that she should buy a flashlight and maybe also turn on the lights.

I can't say that its bad, it's just something you've seen before. Might have expected more than I should've, but nothing new here. Still worth a watch though. Just not something you need to go out of your way to see.

The Boogeyman as a literal monster is not nearly as scary as a psychological one. Granted, the film successfully portrays the terror of a dark closet to a young child in bed alone. If only it could maintain that level of fear throughout.

I’m not sure why so many people are hating on this movie. I thought it was actually pretty good. It had some good build ups, some good jump scares, and some really nice creepy scenes. This was definitely one of the more better horror movies that I think has come out this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a franchise with a bunch of follow ups.
