Amazon.com:
Since movies began, thrillers have depended on a door just slightly ajar, with a narrow slit of darkness that promises to hold your worst fears. In the first five minutes of Boogeyman, a young boy's father is violently sucked into a closet, scarring the boy so badly that he grows up to be blank-faced Barry Watson (7th Heaven), who plays Tim, an editor at a newspaper or a magazine or something. Tim, to impress his girlfriend's parents, wears a coat and tie but doesn't shave his sexy stubble. A premonition of his mother's death drives him back to his childhood home so he can exorcise his phobias. From there...well, there's lots of atmospheric cinematography, regular jolts of loud music, and many quick edits. What actually happens is pretty obscure and, really, not worth unobscuring. The obsession with doors and doorknobs verges on the avant-garde. Also featuring a brief glimpse of Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess), wearing some truly terrible old-age makeup. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - FIRST RATE SCARY MOVIE!
If you have at least half a brain and a teaspoon of imagination you may want to ignore the negative reviews on this movie. Those reviewers are clearly expecting (and looking forward to) yet another teen slasher movie. This isn't one of those. This is pure psychological horror, and done exceptionally well. No blood and guts, does not rely heavily on sound effects - this is a movie from someone who understood terror on a very fundamental level and put it in a movie. There's an interesting Bad ...

Rating: - AW, C'MON!!! THIS FLICK IS WORTH 2 STARS, ISN'T IT? ISN'T IT????
I was afraid I'd be the only reviewer giving this chunk of Hollywood nothingness a poor rating. I've seen high ratings on some worthless movies. Thankfully, general consensus seems to agree with my humble opinion that this movie was all about using the known legend of the boogeyman to get people's attention, don't bother writing a script or developing a plot, don't feel the need to explain any of what's happening....just throw a couple of 'pretty' college age kids on the screen, add some reasonable ...

Rating:  - More run of the mill nonsense from Hollyweird
I'm so glad I didn't see this in the theater.
I was bored so I rented this mess of a movie.
Who wasn't scared of the Boogyman when they were growing up?
I had a hard time believing the directors would be able to pull off a decent movie and I was right.
Horrid acting, horrid story, horrid everything.
I think the only time I jumped was when the movie ended and I had to jump off the couch to take it out of the player.
Lame, pathetic, and unmemorable. Another movie destined ... Read More
Rating: - It actually beat my rock bottom expectations... yes, I'm surprised
I just need to first say that I would probably really give this 2.5 stars instead of a flat out 2. That being said, this movie actually managed to beat the incredibly low expectations I had for it. Not that this ended up being a really great film, it just wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be. I wouldn't even remotely class this as a horror film after seeing it; it's more like a suspense or thriller film from my point of view. The story line is hardly original, as I'm sure anyone could guess by the ... Read More
Rating: - A Real Snoozer Of A Scary Movie
Boogeyman made me go to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the movie because an usher didn't want me to have my legs up on the chair in front of me. I was so bored throughout this entire movie. It was anything but scary and had no shock moments. The acting was okay, and the plot was very confusing. It made little, if no sense at all. It's a very awful movie. Stay away.
