Stephen King’s The Boogeyman Trailer Is Out And It’s Terrifyingly Scary
Based on the trailer,The Boogeymandoes not accurately adapt the novel; instead, it serves as a sequel following two daughters of a psychiatrist. Sadie and Sawyer Harper deal with the loss of their mother while enduring a stressful relationship with their father. Unluckily, an unexpected drop-in will bring the boogeyman into their house, forcing the teenage leads to fight and survive.
The story is told from a unique perspective wherein a patient claims to be the target of a supernatural being. He said that the boogeyman cursed his family and went after his children. The man is convinced that there is foul play in the death of his kids and that the legend of the boogeyman is true. As a person of science, the psychiatrist dismissed the patient’s story until a new target has been found.
The trailer clearly wants to honor King’s classic horror tale. Monsters hiding inside closets or under the bed sounds very common, but this adaptation will make the experience one hell of a ride. Over the years, fans have seen several movies based on King’s works, but this might be the most terrifying of all. Check out the trailer below:
The cast includes Sophie Thatcher, Vivien Lyra Blair, Chris Messina, Marin Ireland, Madison Hu, LisaGay Hamilton, and David Dastmalchian. Meanwhile, Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, and Dan Cohen will produce the film.
