"This movie offers an intriguing take on the creature feature genre. It manages to hold its own and is certainly worth a watch, especially if you're a fan of the genre. While it does deliver a few well-placed jump scares that will keep you on the edge of your seat, there's a sense that it could have pushed the envelope further in this department.
The film's strengths lie in its ability to build tension and create an eerie atmosphere. The pacing is generally well-executed, allowing for character development and suspense to brew before the inevitable encounters with the titular Boogeyman. The creature design and special effects are commendable, adding a layer of visual appeal to the overall experience.
However, as the review mentions, the film falls short when it comes to the frequency of jump scares. While not every horror film needs an abundance of them, a bit more could have amped up the adrenaline and heightened the overall sense of dread. It's worth noting that this might be a subjective preference, as some viewers might appreciate the restraint in this regard.
In conclusion, The Boogeyman (2023) is a worthwhile addition to the creature feature subgenre, offering a solid viewing experience. It succeeds in crafting an unsettling atmosphere and delivers on a few well-timed scares. Still, if you're looking for a non-stop rollercoaster of jump scares, you might find yourself wanting more in that department. Nonetheless, it's a film that should find its place in the watchlist of horror enthusiasts.""
