Jan 31, 2019 A man plagued by horrific nightmares travels to his childhood home in a bid to finally rid himself of the visions. However, once there he begins to suspect that there may be some truth to them.
Boogeyman is a 2005 New Zealand-American supernatural horror film directed by Stephen Kay and starring Barry Watson, Emily Deschanel, Skye McCole Bartusiak, and Lucy Lawless. The film is a take on the classic 'boogeyman', or monster in the closet, who is the main antagonist of the film. The plot concerns a young man, Tim Jensen, who must confront the childhood terror that has affected his life.
With all these factors, “Gran Turismo 6” has won many awards and topped the charts in countries around the world. 
Many game critics have praised for keeping the previous versions as well as adding new features including adding more models and tracks, improvements to the car customisation options and partnerships with Goodwood Festival of Speed, Ayrton Senna Institute, FIA and NASCAR.
The film was generally panned by critics, often citing a generic and unoriginal plot as the main criticism. Despite receiving negative reviews from critics, the film was a financial success, and was followed by two direct-to-video sequels, Boogeyman 2 (2007) and Boogeyman 3 (2008).

Plot[edit]
During his childhood, Tim Jensen witnesses his father being taken by the Boogeyman, an evil creature which lives in all closets worldwide. Since then, he has taken precautions to ensure that the Boogeyman cannot get to him, such as sleeping on a mattress on the floor, and removing all closets from his home, and keeping all his clothes in a dresser drawer.
After a Thanksgiving trip with his girlfriend Jessica to her parents' house, Tim has a premonition in which his mother tells him to return to the family home. Soon after, he receives a call from his uncle informing him that his mother has died. Upon returning to the psychiatric ward, where he grew up after his father died, he discovers that one of the patients, a young girl, is being terrorized by something hiding in the ceiling of her room.
Upon a suggestion by his psychiatrist that returning to his family home to spend the night in that house would be a good idea, Tim returns to his old Victorian style house in the open country, where he relives memories of his mother telling his father that the Boogeyman does not exist and therefore cannot possibly harm Tim. Tim is briefly attacked by the Boogeyman when he enters the downstairs closet.
Tim meets a young girl in his woodshed, named Franny, who wants to know if it's true that the Boogeyman murdered Tim's father. Searching the woodshed he discovers a file of Missing Person lists and documents left by Franny, and upon flicking through them, he discovers a disturbing collection of missing children whom were all taken by the Boogeyman.
Tim panics and attempts to leave, but Jessica abruptly shows up and takes Tim out of the house for a night to a quiet motel, where she is murdered by the Boogeyman, dragging her into the bath.
Tim returns from getting ice and preparing drinks and enters the bathroom, where he finds that Jessica is missing. He realizes what has occurred, and stumbles blindly into a closet, and then walks out into his family home, just as Kate, his childhood friend, has returned to his home and, upon hearing noises from the closets, was about to open the door herself. Tim drags Kate back to the hotel, where they find the empty bath; this time with blood on the side. Kate begins thinking that Tim might've harmed Jessica; but Tim angrily denies it. Frustrated at Tim's refusal to tell her what is really wrong with him, Kate drives them back to her house where Tim spots something in the window. Kate claims that the person Tim saw was in fact her deaf father. She then calls Tim's Uncle Mike to have him check on Tim. But he is captured and taken away by the Boogeyman.
Tim returns to his house and meets Franny once more, who leads him to a house full of proclamations describing the Boogeyman. There is a chair in the middle of the room facing a closet. Tim remembers this house as being the home of a doctor whom everyone thought was insane. Franny then reveals herself to be the doctor's daughter and one of the kids the Boogeyman took, telling Tim he'd best go to the place where it all started. The Boogeyman pulls Tim through various portals in time through the closet, eventually depositing him in his childhood room. Realizing its true weakness, Tim smashes various toys the Boogeyman uses to give itself form, eventually defeating it, vanishing into the void.
With the Boogeyman gone, Tim hopes that his and Kate's lives will be safer. Morning dawns and Tim already feels better, thinking he's finally safe. However, a post-credits scene reveals a young girl being tormented by the monster, revealing that the Boogeyman has resurfaced out of the closet.

Reception[edit]
Boogeyman received largely negative reviews from film critics. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports that 13% of 89 critics gave the film a positive review, with an average rating of 3.4/10. The site's consensus states: 'The plot is been-there done-that generic, and none of the shock effects can do anything to build up suspense'.[4]Metacritic gave the film a 32 out of 100 rating, indicating 'generally unfavorable reviews.'[5]
Anita Gates from The New York Times gave the film a negative review, writing, 'The filmmakers are smart enough to keep the monster out of sight for a long time and then to show only glimpses, but a similar tactic of providing only glimpses of plot and character is disastrous. Moviegoers never learn who or what the boogeyman is, what his particular beef with Tim is, what his powers are and what has stirred up his wrath after all these years,' summarizing, 'The house is very creaky, but then so is the movie.'[6] Marc Savlov from The Austin Chronicle awarded the film one out of five stars, panning the film's pacing, under-lit sets, computer generated effects, and overuse of horror clichés.[7] Frank Wilkins from Reel Talk gave the film a negative review, stating, 'Although Boogeyman starts out with a stylishly depicted premise that promises a nightmarish ride into terror, after about twenty minutes the movie falls flat with its cheap terror tactics, its abysmal dialogue and its shamelessly tawdry script.'[8] Tom Meek from the Boston Phoenix gave the film one and a half out of four stars, saying, 'Director Stephen T. Kay knows how to get under your skin, and Watson nails the internal-turmoil bit, but it’s still just a one-trick pony that comes up lame long before the insipid climax.'[9] Jeremy Wheeler from AllMovie complimented Barry Watson and Emily Deschanel's performances, and promising start, but criticized the design of the film's title monster, and the finale, which he called 'ridiculous' and 'downright embarrassing.'[10] Film critic Leonard Maltin awarded the film a mixed two out of four stars, writing, 'Despite its predictable blueprint there are a couple of pretty decent scares to be had here.. [though] you might consider chapter-skipping on your DVD to get to the good stuff.'[11]

One night over dinner, Lacey finds a letter in the mail from her mother, who claims to be on her and wishes to see them one last time, but Willy burns the letter.Lacey suffers from, and has a particularly frightening dream where she is dragged, tied to a bed and almost stabbed by an unseen entity. Her husband, Jake, takes her to a psychiatrist to help her confront her, and decides to go visit the house she grew up in. They arrive not knowing who is actually living there and meet two teenage girls and their younger brother.
Their parents, the, have apparently just placed the home for sale and then gone out of town. The daughter thinks Lacey and Jake have been sent by the to view the house. Jake and Lacey pretend they want to buy the house so they can look around. At the house, Lacey sees a reflection of her mother's deceased boyfriend coming towards her in a mirror inside the bedroom where he died, and smashes the mirror in a panic with a chair. Her husband takes the broken mirror with him in an attempt to repair it, but a piece is left behind which later glows red. Shortly after, the teenage girls and their brother are all violently killed by an unseen force; the vengeful of the deceased lover has been released from the mirror.Willy similarly has disturbing visions involving mirrors, which cause him to paints all the mirrors in the house black. Later, pieces of a broken mirror in a bag at his feet cause a pitchfork to levitate and nearly impale him.
A shard from the broken mirror becomes stuck to Lacey's son's shoe and is left on the ground where the light refracts across a lake where a group of teenagers are partying by an abandoned house.

Before he dies, the priest removes the shard from Lacey's eye, releasing her from the ghost's control, and throws it into the kitchen sink, where it bursts into flames as it touches the water. The remainder of the mirror is then thrown into a well, where the same thing happens, as an explosion releases the trapped souls and destroys the mirror once and for all.The film ends with Lacey, her brother and Kevin visiting the graveyard.

Raymond Boyden as KevinAnalysis Though the film has been noted as closely imitating 's (1978), critic Jeff Franzen notes that the film possess a subtext that is filled with 'multi-layered references to Lommel's childhood and fears, much of which lingers long after you forget about the gimmicky gore.' Franzen asserts that one of the film's central themes is 'that people conspire to hide the truth, although to one or more characters the truth is obvious.' Production Concept. 'Something like 's castle is so far removed from our everyday experiences that it's easy to say, 'Oh yeah, well, that's a horror movie.'
In The Boogeyman and, I thought it's much more interesting to use familiar settings, like a living room or a bedroom.' –Lommel on the film's settingThe film also uses several apparent pieces of and regarding mirrors—as well as the belief that it is bad luck to break a mirror, the film also discusses the belief that breaking a mirror releases everything the mirror has ever 'seen' and that placing the pieces of a broken mirror into a bag and burying it will counteract the bad luck from breaking the mirror. Additionally, there is the belief that a mirror in a room where someone has died will show the dead person looking back over the shoulder of anyone looking into the mirror. All this was used in the Mexican translation of the film title, released as 'El espejo asesino' (the killer mirror).Stylistically, Lommel stated that he wanted to make a 'movie about outrageous killings set in an average-looking environment with ordinary actors.

Garry Arnold from wrote in his review on the film: ' The Boogey Man achieves a certain vicious distinction by putting the occasional spectacular kink in an otherwise motley fabric.' Ron Cowan of The criticized the film for boasting 'little originality in storyline or style, relying instead on the sheer energy and determination it brings to bloodletting.' Bruce Bailey of the wrote: 'This film is so sick, it ought to be hospitalized–permanently. The Boogey Man mixes a bit of sex with standard shock devices, primordial fears and jealousies. It blends them into something which is tawdry, rather than a good old-fashioned spine-tingler.'
Film critic gave the film a favorable 3 out of 4 stars, writing, 'German art film actor-director Lommel lends unconventional angle to this combination of The Exorcist and Halloween. Effects are quite colorful, if somewhat hokey.' Home media The film was released on by.The film has been released on twice in the United States.
