Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

This is strictly substandard stuff, with imitative creepy noises, vertiginous camera angles, and long pauses during which Tim considers whether to open doors.

Only glimpses of the monster are seen in Stephen Kay's supernatural thriller. Unfortunately, the same is true of the movie's plot and character.

It's difficult to remember a recent movie with less regard for spatial or temporal coherence.

With all the movies out there, this is the last one you should pick.

A vaporous and vacuous horror film.

None of this makes any sense whatsoever.

Yeah, it's dumb, and it takes a long time to get to scenes that amount to anything other than cheap scares. But Boogeyman is not entirely artless.

It squanders a promising plot about child abduction, preferring to go the literal route of chasing a spectral troublemaker with a bad case of claustrophobia.

It suffers from a lack of genuine chills or suspense.

Fright fans expecting anything more than the occasional jolt will be sorely disappointed.

A bloated 86 minutes of overzealous spookiness.

Few films benefited that much from being so short.

For a good, healthy PG-13 scare, Boogeyman is fun for the whole family -- just don't bring kids who are too young.
