description |
| Stephen
T.
Kay's
stylish
thriller,
BOOGEYMAN,
takes
one
of
horror's
mythical
figures
and
transports
him
into
the
21st
century.
Though
Tim
Jensen
(Barry
Watson)
is
a
successful
magazine
editor
with
a
beautiful
girlfriend
(Tory
Mussett),
his
childhood
continues
to
haunt
him.
When
he
was
only
eight
years
old,
Tim
watched
his
father
get
eaten
by
the
Boogeyman,
or
at
least
that's
how
he
remembers
it.
Of
course,
no
one
believed
him
then--not
even
his
mother
(Lucy
Lawless),
who
has
just
recently
passed
away.
Wracked
with
guilt
for
not
having
been
there
to
say
goodbye,
Tim
decides
to
spend
the
night
in
his
childhood
home
and
confront
the
Boogeyman
once
and
for
all.
But
before
that
happens,
he
reunites
with
his
old
friend
Kate
(Emily
Deschanel)
and
meets
a
young
girl
(Skye
McCole
Bartusiak)
who
is
holding
onto
a
dark
secret
of
her
own.
Kay
and
cinematographer
Bobby
Bukowski
pack
BOOGEYMAN
with
enough
tension
for
several
films,
finding
terror
in
every
doorknob
and
around
every
corner.
Watson
and
Deschanel
deliver
grounded
performances
even
as
the
supernatural
insanity
swirls
around
them.
The
result
is
a
work
that
relies
more
on
shocks
and
thrills
than
actual
blood
and
guts
in
order
to
frighten
its
audience. |
