Another King-based horror film. That means you're getting classic (80s-like) horror, familiar tropes, and few surprises, but director Rob Savage handles everything gracefully. The Boogeyman isn't out to revolutionize the genre, instead, it's doing its best to do right to clichés that turned cheap over the years.
The performances are solid, the boogeyman looks neat and the scares are properly executed. I don't really care for little kids fighting off age-old evil, but putting that aside, I had a lot of fun with The Boogeyman. Savage is proving himself a talented horror director, though I like to see him tackle projects that aren't quite as restrictive.
