This was on TV last night and surprise, surprise: it's an awful film.

Monster-in-the-closet deal with generic traumatised hero, and a gorgeous chick that those kind of people apparently attract, trying to fight it. I saw this at a festival, drunk out of my mind, and it was still near the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

watch barry watson do a very good jeremy sisto impersonation

This movie is not dramatic, suspenseful, thrilling, horrifying or mysterious.

One of the worst horror movie that I ever saw. The story is ridiculous, boogeyman??? Do not make any sense. And it is done badly, with terrible performances and effects.

how did I make it thru the whole movie..this movie blows.

Has a few moments where a much better psychological thriller shines through. However, it takes its premise way to literally and drops any attempts at suspense and horror in exchange for shoddy CGI and a refusal to explain anything.

I fell asleep in the theater.

Oh, Sam Raimi, how could you produce such garbage? First scene's alright though.

"Instead of heightening one's fear of closets, it simply creates an overwhelming urge to head straight for the nearest theater door." - Nick Schager

I hate to give any movie with Sam Raimi's name on it a score below 90, but holy shit this movie was complete trash. They wasted any potential that this plot had. Don't watch it, unless you plan on cutting out your eyeballs, in which case this film will give you some easy motivation.

A rather dull and boring Horror film that only picks up in the final 20 minutes, and while the final few scenes are quite good it doesn't really make up for the rest of the film. Lots of Horror 'cliches' thrown in as well. Barry Watson is OK as Tim, who was haunted by the 'boogeyman' as a child. I was pretty disappointed when I watched it a few years back, and now that I've seen it for a second time my opinion pretty much hasn't changed, so overall its one thats probably worth giving a miss.

The real boogeyman is whoever keeps greenlighting these types of movies.
