Let's acknowledge the fact that practically everyone HATES this movie. So pop that DVD in, get the kids out of the room, turn off the lights, and just enjoy the movie for what it tries to do, give you a thrill. The best thing I liked seeing was that this movie didn't have to resort to all the blood and gore that most horror movies seem to have just to be scary. Sure, there are some unanswered questions at the end but I find that often in this genre like stuff that doesn't make sense, why did that happen, and what happened to.? The reason you watch a horror movie is to be scared, thrilled, and frightened and with this movie you will be. There have certainly been scarier movies than Boogeyman, but I sure got my share of thrills, jumps, and scares out of it. I have certainly seen my share of horror movies starting back when Halloween first opened and through all the slasher flicks of the early 80's and the Japan-based horror movies of today. ![]() I came to IMDb to see some particulars of the cast and was amazed at all the people that did not like the movie. I watched this movie first on DVD with the lights turned off, no distractions, and was surprised at how thrilling the movie was. Title (Brazil): "O Pesadelo" ("The Nightmare") "Boogeyman" is watchable, not a masterpiece of the genre, but also not among "the worst horror movies" as commented by some users. The scary effects and the music score are the best this movie can offer. In the DVD, there is a not good alternate ending, but better and better than the released conclusion. However, the story is very empty, without explanation, and with an awful and ridiculous conclusion. The legend of the Boogeyman does exist (it is called "Bicho-PapĆ£o"), but its location is not specified and certainly is not necessarily in a closet). (Note: in Brazil, we do not have the legend of the "monster in the closet". I saw the trailer and I expected a promising story, exploring the fear of darkness of children through the American legend of the monster in the closet. ![]() "Boogeyman" was really a great deception for me. Along the night, weird events happen with Tim and his closest friends. Tim travels to his hometown, meets his former crush Kate Houghton (Emily Deschanel) and advised by his shrink, decides to spend the night is in old home to face the monster of his imagination. In Thanksgiving, while visiting the family of his girlfriend Jessica (Tory Mussett), his uncle Mike (Philip Gordon) calls him informing that his mother has just passed away. Tim (Barry Watson) is a young man with a great trauma: when his father left his family sixteen years ago, in his imagination his father was indeed taken by the Boogeyman.
