Get Outta da House Cinema 2023 - The Boogeyman

The Boogeyman is my return to the cinema film. Was it any good? Read on to see how my return to the cinema during this busy TV season went.

Well I wasn't super impressed however, the film was originally planned to be released on the streaming service Hulu, Disney eventually opted for a theatrical release first following positive test screenings.

The film received its full cinema release this past Thursday. Based on the 1973 short story of the same name by Stephen King. While it stars Sophie Thatcher, Chris Messina, Vivien Lyra Blair, and David Dastmalchian.

Filming began in February 2022 in New Orleans, so we had a wait for this film to land on our screens.

Meaning the writers strike may have to go on for some time for the studios to run low on films/series.

We have all been here before though for those bump in the night, jump scare, creepy kid, haunted house films.

The Conjuring and other franchises have given us enough ways to show a dark house can be scary.

So sadly for me The Boogeyman did not really standout in a highly crowded horror space. Still to come are more horror films, horror TV series and most like the writers on strike are dreaming up some old or new ideas to scare us in the future.

I did manage a second film this weekend, so that review will land mid next week. Until then The Boogeyman gets an average at best, 2 Stars.
