#Boogeyman Movie 2023

[naughtygirl286]

We went to see the new Stephen King movie The Boogeyman we were originally going to go and see The Machine but apparently that is not playing anymore so we had to go to the next one on the list of movies to go see. Now I was a bit confused on this when I seen the first trailers for it becasue I was like "is this some type of sequel? I remember watching like a series of Boogeyman movies?" and yes there was Boogeyman movies is the early 2000s there was 3 of them from 2005-2008

But this one is not part of that series and it is not a remake of any of those movies also this is not an adaption of the Stephen King story but more like a sequel to it? I think that would make sense if you actually read the story but I didn't so this to me comes off as a stand alone movie.

Now personally I thought the movie was pretty good. It had a nice build up with its slow burn as I like to say I felt it is interesting and and it did keep my interested and a bit on the edge of my seat like what is going to happen next. I didn't find it overly scary there was plenty of good jumps and I feel that the Horror was very atmospheric and situational like what would you do in this situation.

the only thing I kinda didn't like about it was they didn't go into any type of the history or mythology of "The Boogeyman" they give a loose explanation of what it is and what it wants but nothing very concrete. There is no like investigation its just pretty much there is a creature we have to stop it! type of thing.

The story is pretty much this after the death of a child a family is torn apart by grief which leads Lester Billings (David Dastmalchian) to seek help from a Will Harper (Chris Messina) who is a therapist ans who is also dealing with the recent loss of his wife and mother to his 2 girls. while helping Lester with his grief he unwittingly introduces the evil his children called The Boogeyman into Will's house and the creature begins to stalk and threaten Will's teenage girl and her younger sister as it feeds off their despair and grief and they try to get their grieving father to pay attention before it's too late becasue Its the thing that comes for your kids when you're not paying attention..

I do like the idea of the testicles or vines that infect and spread throughout the house like it is the spreading of the sadness, despair and doubt as it takes hold of the house and the family I thought that was a good way to represent it physically.

As for the The Boogeyman himself he is not really a man he is pretty much a creature and I liked how they slowly introduced him I thought what you see of him was really cool I did like the design, He truly is what nightmares are made of! but in the frame of this movie I felt that the The Boogeyman character was the embodiment of fear/uncertainty/grief/despair and so on. but he was a pretty cool creature to say the least.

but like I said I thought this movie was pretty good I enjoyed it. It did remind me of somewhat recent movies like Come Play (2020) and Smile (2022) those are excellent movies and if you haven't seen them you should give them a watch along with this one which I would recommend if you are looking for something that is kinda spooky.

I love horror movies, but the tendency of filmmakers to make the whole fucking thing so goddamn dark that you can't see what's happening makes me SO ANGRY

You take away any and all suspense and horror in the film because I cannot see a single fucking thing that is happening and I get so mad that I can't enjoy your film

Having to google after the film is over to see what the bad guy even looked like because I couldn't fucking see it?? The grand reveal has so meaning whatsoever because I can't fucking see what you're doing!!!

I'm so fucking annoyed and so frustrated by it because I love horror but they make it so inaccessible to watch and enjoy

You can make a movie at night and still let your audience SEE!!! FUCKING CHRIST

You ever about to say something and then realize it would very not be sane or neurotypical of you to say that thing

[um-vvhat]

I liked The Boogeyman bc it didn’t explain away everything, they don’t go through the whole stereotypical lore session giving an answer to everything. It was truly a fun spooky tale.

So, I just finished watching the new 2023 horror film 'The Boogeyman', and I have but one singular thought in my head...

Yeahhhhh...there's both 'NSFW' content and a movie spoiler under the cut.

If you've already seen the movie, oh, you already know...

This is the very first thing I thought of when it opened it's mouth and arms came out of it...

Just imagine being pinned down with one set of arms while another set spreads you wide open so a long, sinuous and mobile tongue can plunge and writhe and thrash deeper than anything else ever could...

Hey, Rita Billings did say, "It likes to play with it's food..."

Watched The Boogeyman (2023) and I loved it. (Sadie’s “friends” really pissed me off and kinda brought back bad memories, but I stilled loved the movie and give it a 10/10)
