Storyline

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.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
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.
