Trailer
Why watch this film?
Directed by Rob Savage (of the excellent Beware Who You Call) The Boogeyman is another movie that uses a monster to talk about a family in mourning. Will Harper (Chris Messina) is father to two girls, the young Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair) and the independent Sadie (Sophie Thatcher). And they are not in the best of times: their mother has just died and the family's days have become gloomy. That's where the monster, who is nothing more than a folkloric creature personifying fear, comes in. It's in the darkness, in the closet of the room, in the damp corner of the wall. The first 20 to 25 minutes of The Boogeyman are desperate: Savage shows mastery of the camera and the atmosphere, giving fear at every turn, every light that goes out, every moment that Sawyer decides to take a look under the bed. Then it ends up turning into a kind of generic Babadook, without much life. But even so, it can be a fun horror movie that, when seen with friends, can generate scares and laughter.

Host
2020 will be remembered historically for the new coronavirus pandemic and the quarantine that affected all peoples and countries, requiring meetings, gatherings and chats to be done virtually. Thus, director Rob Savage was clever in taking a premise already seen in 'Unfriended': young people in an unpretentious conversation via digital platforms and who must deal with a haunting that pursues them, traveling through virtual means. Savage seems to have a greater mastery of scares and chills than Levan Gabriadze of 'Unfriended', creating even more tense moments in meager 57 minutes. It's not the most original movie in the world. But, given the 2020 climate, it may be one of the most interesting jokes about what the world has experienced.
