New Stephen King Adaptation 'The Boogeyman' Provides Effective Scares But Lacks Originality

British director Rob Savage is releasing a horror movie called The Boogeyman, based on a Stephen King short story.
The film focuses on a family dealing with grief and a supernatural creature that has invaded their home.
The movie fails to deliver effective scares and relies on genre traditions instead of distinctive personality.
The only interesting aspect of the film is the performance of Marin Ireland, who plays the wife of a deceased man.
The Boogeyman is a disappointing and poorly animated CGI beast that kills one's faith in mainstream teen-oriented horror.
