Title: What A Mess
Product review: Apparently the new "horror" is to get TV actors, surround them with eerie atmosphere, very good cinematography, and halfway decent spooks, and slap a PG-13 rating on the whole darn thing. Unfortunately, good storytelling doesn't seem to fall into any of the aforementioned requisites, and it is in criminally short supply in BOOGEYMAN. Barry Watson, who is only slightly less charisma-free than former TV sibling Jessica Biel, plays a man still haunted by...darkness, or something in the dark, or someone in the dark--there is a point somewhere in there, but halfway through this lazy, suspense-free non-thriller, you're going to want to bolt and truly not want to know the whole point of this waste of filmmaking. Suffice it to say, the plot is a slight re-telling of that horror "classic" from a few years ago, DARKNESS FALLS, only about ten times less interesting--yes, a scary sheet flying around on a wire hanger was far scarier than anything here. Avoid at all costs.
