The Boogeyman

  


  Based on a short story by Stephen King, it took three people to write the screenplay and while they try their best, they fail to bring the horror.

  When an evil spirit is released in their home, it's up to a family to battle the creature before it can claim more victims. The film stars Chris Messina as the widowed therapist with two daughters. Sophie Thatcher and Vivien Lyra Blair play his daughters. The film also co-stars LisaGay Hamilton, Marin Ireland, and David Dastmalchian.

  Director Rob Savage does an admirable job creating the spooky atmosphere, creepy score and  has a committed cast but ultimately produces a generic horror film filled with stereotypical elements that lack true horror.
