THE BOOGEYMAN (USA, 2023) – This could have been a great horror film. The dread is there, the sets and lighting is perfect. You never really get a good look at the creature, and I felt that worked towards making the film much more suspenseful. The acting is all serviceable and the characters feel real, for the most part. My issue with the film was how closed up the father was towards his wife's death and talking with his daughters about it. Seemed very unrealistic for how close they all seemed and only frustrated me in the end.
