Variety
Trendy influence of insidiously creepy Japanese horror pics is felt in almost every frame of Boogeyman. The effectively atmospheric and unusually involving thriller tells the story of a distraught young man's protracted duel of wits with the eponymous evildoer.

Film Threat
This film does cause shivers, creeps, scares, and jumps. It may even make you scream a bit.
50
An otherwise passable horror film that delivers more than enough cheap thrills to forgive the plot holes.
40
Has little to offer in the way of entertainment or originality.

A film willing to cheat whatever way necessary to scare you... The good news is that once you leave the theatre, you'll never think of Boogeyman again.
