Reviews


70
Variety - Joe Leydon
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.
60
Film Threat - Unnamed
This film does cause shivers, creeps, scares, and jumps. It may even make you scream a bit.
50
San Francisco Chronicle - Unnamed
An otherwise passable horror film that delivers more than enough cheap thrills to forgive the plot holes.
40
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Crust
Has little to offer in the way of entertainment or originality.
38
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Stephen Cole
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.
