Suprisingly Good

Mark from Cheshire, 10th March, 2005

i went to the cinema to watch this movie and was quite suprised on how gripping and entertaining it was. the storyline was reasonable and the acting was good. this film would have been given a better rating if they would have just left the 'boogeyman' to the viewers imagination, instead of some poor computer generated image. o well overall quite good and well worth watching!

Pants film

A Customer from Cornwall, 6th July, 2005

I was looking forward to this film after seeing the promos when it first come out and I must say the wait was not worth it. The film is crap !!! crap story, crap actors, crap score, crap directing. I think I jumped once in this film, the rest of the time I was falling asleep as it was so slow moving. If you want a jumpy film rent The Grudge or Ring as these are far superior films.

Where Have The Scary Films Gone

A Customer from Bristol, England, 30th September, 2005

This is the latest in a long line of dissapointing, supposed 'horror' films. It is simlilar in quality to Cabin Fever, Jeepers Creepers and any of the recent (last 5 years) teen horrors. Firstly any film that is a 15 Cert is going to struggle to scare anyone over 13, secondly there is a difference between scaring and making you jump, a car backfiring will make you jump but scare you it will not. I really would like to find a well scripted genuinely scary horror - sadly this is not it. Do watch the alternate ending though as I preferred it to the one used - although there is something very odd about the final few seconds of the scene and the way it was filmed/edited - watch it and you'll see what I mean. If you are easily made to jump and under 16 then give it a go - the rest of you - forget it. On a story basis it does have more holes in it than a tramp's vest and doesn't effectively explain anything - the jump from past to present is also a very large one with nothing done to fill in the interim period. The more I think about it , the more this film disappoints.

Emily Deschanel

A Customer from Launceston, 27th September, 2008

This film is a good idea, but its not that scary. Boogeyman's biggest downfall is that it doesnt make enough use of Emily Deschanel, she is a fantastic actress who could have brought a lot more to the film.

Terrible

A Customer from Yorkshire, 6th September, 2008

This has to be the worst film I've ever seen. Due to the limited use that could be made of the 'evil' presence, the first 70 minutes were spent shrieking at creaking doors, dwelling on flashbacks and creating (or should I say attempting to create) atmosphere. Add in wooden acting and you have a dud. Totally and utterly.
