Full disclosure: I haven't read the story on which "The Boogeyman" is based, so I can only assess it on its own merits. It was okay, as I expected. Like many horror movies of recent years, grief plays a major part of the plot. Of course, most of the horror comes from jump scares.
As for the cast, they do a fine enough job, considering what they have to have work. The title character does turn out to be freaky in some scenes.
All in all, this is a movie that you'll probably enjoy enough. I wouldn't say that there were any scenes that stuck me with solid memory, but you do have to admire the intense scenes.
So, it's nothing great, but if you're willing to spend the day with some friends and watch something scary, this should be fun.
