Great dvd. Good story line. Bit jumpy in places
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Watching trailers for this film give me the totally wrong impression, I assumed it would be a really scary horror flick about the boogeyman and be really creepy. Alright it did have a creepy vibe through it but I was waiting to jump throughout the whole film, even places in the movie where I expected to be scared passed with nothing more than a shadow in the corner. Plot is really quite difficult to follow, need to watch it a few times to get certain bits but still confusing as there is no indication as to why he keeps seeing his mother in his dreams as a rotting corpse?? The story could have been used so much better, at certain points there is a draw into the story but then it quickly changes and loses you again. The ending could have been far better, the whole movie this guy is scared senseless of the boogeyman but when it comes down to it all he has to do to get rid of him is to throw objects at it and kick him in the face back into the closet?? Personally I thought the film was a bit boring could have had more scares and a better storyline.Read full review
I'm writing this under sister's ebay identity. In this, the delectable Barry Watson has grown up into a big old scaredy cat after a childhood encounter with the titular character, believing he saw him snatch his Dad and drag him into a bedroom closet. Our sympathetic lead is frightened of his own shadow and subjected to a myriad of spooky goings on that would have many a more stalwart hero cowering under the bed. In a neat inversion of the stereotypical paedophile scenario, he’s a man in an overcoat pursued by an unknown prepubescent girl (Skye McCole Bartusiak), nervously confronting and challenging her: ‘Why are you following me around?’ The shocks come fast and furious; the acting is convincing; and the denouement, criticised by many reviewers, surprisingly satisfying, even though we don’t have the boogeyman back here in the Old World.Read full review
A young man returns to his childhood home where his father was taken by 'the boogeyman.' He sees a little this little girl, who he has never seen before and she asks if it is true that his father was taken. This puts the thought back into his mind. After this, people close to him start disapearing, and he slowly starts to realise where they are going. It all comes round well to and end in which he must face the boogeyman where it all started... I found the film/storyline good all the way through, however I was disappointed with the rather simple ending. Great build up but after the film had finished I was still left waiting for the 'wow' factor, but unfortunately didn't come. Good film overall though.
I had actually seen this film before but having number 2 & 3 of DVD and not remembering what happened in 1 decided to get it on DVD too. It's an ok film and theres scarey bits to it but the storey is confusing, not really understanding what the boogeyman is all about and why it exist just to certain people. Whereas 2 & 3 gives you more info. Watch is dark to get more of a spook and don't go into any dark cuboards for a while lol.
