The Boogeyman might fall short of its terrifying source material, but a spooky atmosphere and some solid performances help keep the chills coming.

If you don't mind spending a lot of time waiting for things to happen, The Boogeyman is worth watching for some solid jump scares.

Brandon Richardson

The Boogeyman is one of the better Stephen King adaptations. It’s planned out well with its casting and horror sequences. But it shouldn’t be the top choice when looking for intense scares.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Decent pacing and good scares but it felt rushed at times like the scenes didn't play together well at times.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It has a really cool and universally relatable premise... But the rules are confusing and convoluted.

Rex Reed

Observer

A pointless, misguided and totally incomprehensible waste of time, is yet another horror film that exists for the sole purpose of exploiting the endless desk-drawer doodlings of writer Stephen King.

Rated: 0/4

The Boogeyman shoots for younger movie goers, but I don't think it hits the bullseye.

Rated: 3.5/5

Fiction Machine

The lowest common denominator of horror cinema is the film that goes “whisper whisper whisper BANG whisper BANG whisper whisper BANG BANG” then rolls a bunch of credits. Not credit, really. More like blame.

Rated: 4/10

Honestly, if the screenwriters had just stuck with the original framework of the original short story, it wouldn’t be such a convoluted mess.
