      Was originally meant to be released straight-to-streaming on Hulu, but the strong reception from test screenings prompted 20th Century Studios to instead give it a wide theatrical release.

    Did mainstream Hollywood Not Get the Memo?
    More terrify is in a way we haven't been before so your movie stays in our minds for days later, way less jump out of the bushes and say boo scare us, which is, when you boil away the getting over your dead mom thing, which didn't having anything new or interesting to say about grief, is all The Boogeyman really is. Because I've seen the "there's nothing there in the dark, there's nothing there in the dark, we're gonna stop the scary music so you don't think somethings there in the dark, still nothing in the dark... BOO! THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE IN THE DARK! GOTCHA!" you didn't get me. But I want to be got. I want to not sleep the night I saw your movie. I want the insomnia The Ring gave me, but you can't keep me up with that stuff anymore. Been there so many times. Do something new. Find a new way to get in my head....

    You know, just at this moment, it dawned on me that I am complaining about a movie called The BOOgeyman because it said BOO a lot. IT's IN THE TITLE, MORON! So yeah. You want to be startled like 5-20 movies, go see it. It does what it set out to do. Not for me, but I should've shaken away the stupid, paid attention to the title and stayed home.
