Not too long ago I snagged the last copy of "The Boogeyman" on DVD from Amazon, which immediately made me wonder if the scarcity was because this 2023 Stephen King adaptation was either a hidden gem, in short print, or a total disaster that people were either hoarding or avoiding, altogether.
The film, directed by Rob Savage, draws inspiration from Stephen King's 1973 short story of the same name (from the "Night Shift" collection), expanding the brief, chilling tale of a monstrous entity into a full feature-length story. It centers on a family grappling with profound grief after a tragic loss, only to find their pain attracting something far more sinister.
