Boogeyman is stupid.
By taking advantage of many tricks in the book, it tries too hard to scare the bejesus out of me. At the same time, I can't
look past the lousy camera work, the sophomoric plot, and many nothing-happens moments. Established rules are routinely
broken. Hence, I've given up trying to figure out what's valid and invalid.
If the Johnny Depp look-alike has been free of the Boogeyman for fifteen years, then why does he want to reinitiate the bad
memories? What is he trying to accomplish: give himself a heart attack for free of charge from the lifetime of mental torture?
All in all, Boogeyman flogs the horror genre to death for being a legless horse.
