Boogeyman

High-octane energy that’s spliced through the lens of sedated uncanny macabre that shivers underneath its cold, rotten floorboards. Kripke’s precursor to Supernatural that has copy-and-paste formulaic beats of scares that’s incorporated into its introductory season (in which both projects came out the same year)—includes moody atmospheric dread among a sleepy town or the weirdly out-of-place superstition that is present. Though paced slowly than other j-horror inspired 2000s haunted thrills, Boogeyman’s Thanksgiving backdrop becomes a solace of relief, finding myself revisiting a poorly received extravagant of Ghost House’s attempt at bringing childhood legends to life, in which they succeeded.
