The Harper family are preyed upon by a supernatural entity who stalks the dark spaces in their home.
Stephen King’s stories have been adapted for the screen many times over the years and the latest, The Boogeyman, has now arrived.
Inspired by King’s 1973 short film of the same name, The Boogeyman stars Sophie Thatcher and Vivien Lyra Blair as Sadie and Sawyer Harper, two sisters who are mourning the recent death of their mother.
Their father, Will (Chris Messina), works from the family home as a therapist, and one day, a creepy man named Lester Billings (David Dastmalchian) shows up needing his help.
His children have all died because of a supernatural being – but everyone thinks he did it.
After the visit, the entity stays in the Harper house and preys upon the family…
Host filmmaker Rob Savage cleverly subverts the “monster in the closet” horror trope in an unnerving way. The being doesn’t slowly creak the closet door open, it gets straight down to business!
It does tease its prey...
