Childhood fears become a reality in the film “Boogeyman.” That is, if your childhood fear is losing a big chunk of change on one of the worst movies of all time.
The official Web site for “Boogeyman” even seemed hard pressed to give any kind of explanation of the plot, as if there was one.
Barry Watson from the TV show, “Seventh Heaven,” stars as Tim, who after the death of his mother, moves back into his childhood home were he is confronted by the demon that killed his father years earlier … a hallway closet!
Yes, that’s right, you’ve read this correctly – a hallway closet that is seen early in the film eating his father. Why? Who knows?
There is not even a hint as to what is going on inside this closet and how it got such a veracious appetite.
I did not go into this movie thinking it would be the next “Citizen Kane.” However, I also thought Hollywood was beyond making such tripe as the viewing audience is becoming more sophisticated and more demanding as theater prices go through the roof.
Apparently, I misjudged the judgment of the viewers because they have made “Boogeyman” the No. 1 film.
Deliver me from evil and forgive me my Lord for I have sinned. I have spent money to see “Boogeyman,” and I am scared. Very, very scared.
