Some @horror for today. But not good.

So, just to be clear, and in case I am missing anything major before I start writing my disdainful review, a lot of movie fans actually enjoyed The Boogeyman???

And that's it for The Boogeyman!

Tomorrow (and I don't know how I'm gonna sleep tonight!) I begin my very first step along the Beam and begin the journey to The Dark Tower.

Their biggest complaint was that this did not follow the same plot as the very very short story that King wrote.

Personally, I thought they gave the source material a wonderful homage at the beginning and then took it into a different direction with a traditional, modern monster film that was professionally executed.

Well it's not going to rank in the top 10 films I've ever seen, I can't imagine taking the source material and stretching it to 90 min.

They covered Easter eggs in this film, and while I noticed the house numbered 19, I completely miss the one numbered 217!

I remember when Stranger Things came out and the number of people who pointed out how much of a Stephen King vibe it had. How story elements seem lifted from such works as Firestarter and Carrie.

Now here, a big complaint The Losers' Club raised was how much this Stephen King film reminds them of Stranger Things. Oh how the world of irony has turned.

Day 616
=======
Finishing off The Losers' Club's lengthy review of The Boogeyman film, which they indeed were a bit critical of. I felt they are nitpicking on irrelevant minutia, giving this the analysis that one would give to The Godfather.

"I always like a good microfiche montage."

A comment about a curious absence of any "research" performed about the boogeyman monster to get its backstory. The teenage girl certainly is comfortable looking up how to communicate with the dead on YouTube. Why not do some boogeyman googling?

Day 615
=======
The Losers' Club seemed to be the only podcast to have gotten excited about The Boogeyman film as they released a THIRD episode about it no too long ago. It's a lengthy one, so I plan only to listen to the first half of it today.

Day 614
=======
The Losers' Club (having wrapped up a cringeworthy original audio drama inspired by The Boogeyman) get to interview Rob Savage, the director of the most recent King-related film adaptation.

Day 613
=======
After a crackingly good time watching The Boogeyman yesterday, I jump over to the podcasting world to see what they have to say about it.

Surprisingly, there were few who touched it. Starting off with The Losers' Club who recorded an original audio drama inspired by the movie: "An ambitious ER physician meets her scariest patient yet..."

"The Boogeyman" indeed was a solid movie. If you watch it, do so in a dimly lit room as many of the scenes are understandable dark. Also, watch with headphones on or at least with a quality sound system. This is essential to the effectiveness of this movie.

Well done Rob Savage and team! Well done!

As far as movie monsters go, this one is better than most.

No. Way.

#NightShift #TheBoogeyman #TheDarkTower #StephenKing

For a movie that's primarily built around one of the biggest horror tropes: A monster that only children are seeing and the adults don't believe them...

"The Boogeyman" feels very fresh and original!

#NightShift #TheBoogeyman #StephenKing

There is a scene involving a tooth on the end of a string that had me squirming in my chair and making noises out loud.

I love it!

#NightShift #TheBoogeyman #StephenKing

Jump scares are cheap.

Except when they are very well done.

How many takes were required until she nailed this scene?

#NightShift #TheBoogeyman #StephenKing

What kind of twisted-ass child's therapy is this??? If I didn't have phobias walking into this lady's office, I sure would have collected a whole bunch walking out of it!
