Stephen T. Kay’s stylish thriller, BOOGEYMAN, takes one of
horror’s mythical figures and transports him into the 21st century.
Though Tim
Jensen (Barry Watson) is a successful magazine editor with a beautiful
girlfriend (Tory Mussett), his childhood continues to haunt him. When he was
only eight years old, Tim watched his father get eaten by the Boogeyman, or at
least that’s how he remembers it. Of course, no one believed him then--not even
his mother (Lucy Lawless), who has just recently passed away.
Wracked with guilt
for not having been there to say goodbye, Tim decides to spend the night in his
childhood home and confront the Boogeyman once and for all. But before that
happens, he reunites with his old friend Kate (Emily Deschanel) and meets a
young girl (Skye McCole Bartusiak) who is holding onto a dark secret of her
own.
