"winningly combines the creaking ambiguities and psychological chills of
They
with terrain more familiar from a haunted house movie."
Movie Gazette
Anton Bitel
C-
"Teenagers will probably have a blast with the cheap scares and simplistic story, but for horror veterans or those looking for something new, this is not the film to see."

Bill Clark

"If
Boogeyman
signals more films like this to follow, there are far worse nightmares out there to come than whatever is lurking in your closet."
FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
3/10
"Few films benefited that much from being so short."
Draxblog Movie Reviews
Dragan Antulov
1/4
"A chill-free, suspense-deficient thriller that is not only an enormous waste of time and film stock, but also insanely empty and heavy-handed."

D
"A thriller that is so generic it can only be dispensed if your doctor checked the 'generic OK' box on the prescription."

"...expose the skeletons in
Boogeyman’s
closet—you will certainly come across the bare bones because there’s no real meat to this thrill-seeking thud"
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
C-
"An incoherent grab-bag of disconnected shock effects--stylishly mounted but ultimately empty and pointless."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"When the theater lights come up, this Boogeyman is nothing but a bad memory."

2/5
"I spent most of the movie struggling not to throw something at the screen or disrupt the other patrons by screaming in frustration."

Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel
3.5/4.0
"
Boogeyman
manages to make you do what films like
Jeepers Creepers
and
Darkness Falls
wouldn't let you do: believe."
MovieCrypt.com
Kevin A. Ranson
2/5
"They didn’t even rip off the classics, for crying out loud!"
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
1/5
"If you can't spell 'bogeyman,' you shouldn't make movies about him."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
1.5/4
"One could look at this as an exercise in building dread, but the only problem is there's no sense of dread accompanying it."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
1/4
"There is nothing going on during these 86 minutes except a studio gunning for quick kill at the opening weekend box office."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
0.5/4
"
Boogeyman
represents flat-out suckage. It is a haphazard assemblage of horror clichés, punctuated by the occasional so-loud-it-makes-you-jump noise on the soundtrack."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
1/4
"Instead of heightening one’s fear of closets, it simply creates an overwhelming urge to head straight for the nearest theater door. "
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
1/5
"Spends the majority of its running time jerking the audience’s chain before coming to an abrupt ending."
Film Threat
Pete Vonder Haar
1.5/5
"Every jolt in this film involves crash editing and deafening noises, while nothing is made of the premise or the characters."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
1/5
"A thinly plotted clothesline of shock effects."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves
1/5
"Boogeyman is that bull’s eye example which begins its immediate downfall once Barry Watson of “7th Heaven” misfortune appears on screen."
Film Threat
Rory L. Aronsky
1/5
"Bereft of even the slightest hint of style, creativity or originality,
Boogeyman
is endlessly boring, blatantly nonsensical and, frankly, absolutely worthless."
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
1/4
"The only thing scary about
Boogeyman
is the sheer ineptitude of the 'filmmaking' on display."
Reel.com
Timothy Knight
2/4
"The celluloid equivalent of Jokey Smurf."
