Not scary at all, unoriginal, meh acting and terrible CGI. What I liked about it is it feels like an episode of *Supernatural* especially with how the situation is resolved. Really shows it was written by Eric Kripke.

there’s bad movies, and then there’s THIS. at least in bad movies, there’s usually SOMETHING happening. but not in this!! absolutely NOTHING happens in this supernatural reject episode.

the cgi in this is a beautiful product of its time

I will give the writers credit for _at least_ making the Boogeyman look somewhat like something out of any child's nightmare. He was freaky looking but without tentacles, so that's at least SOMETHING. (Why is it most monsters have tentacles?) Apart from that, however, this was about the most useless waste of time I've sat through. Love Emily Deschanel and she was the ONLY character you could buy in to. The acting - apart from Emily - was bland, emotionless, lifeless. The ending was so convoluted and confusing, it made absolutely no sense. There was really just nothing to enjoy about this. If you're looking for a good horror movie, this isn't it. Plenty of useless jump scares but that's all. I know there's at least one sequel but I doubt I'll waste time on it. The original was just a flat-out dud.

> "...it's the thing under the bed you have to be worried about." Typical mid-2000's horror supernatural thriller that you can predict from start to finish. The Boogeyman rules are not very established so some of it is a little confusing but overall it is a forgettable tale.
