Breaking ⚠️ TheBoogeyman starring Chris Messina adapts the StephenKing story of the same name, with the first reactions to the film arriving now.

The first reactions are here for the Stephen King adaptation The Boogeyman. The upcoming film stars Chris Messina and Sophie Thatcher, with Rob Savage directing. Savage has called The Boogeyman "the scariest movie I've ever made," building anticipation for the project, especially considering the fact that his debut feature Host and follow-up film Dashcam have both been lauded as particularly frightening entries in the modern horror canon.

Now, the first reactions to The Boogeyman 2023 have arrived following its screening at CinemaCon. Critics are praising nearly everything about the film, including the performances, the atmosphere, and its quality as a Stephen King adaptation. From the sound of it, the film is jam-packed with different tones that it pulls off well, from horror to action to meditation on grief.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT It Was the Right Decision to Put The Boogeyman in Theaters The Boogeyman seems poised to become the next big screen hit for Stephen King, who has had a string of big films adapted from his work since the 1970s. However, the film wasn't always intended to have a theatrical release. It was originally designated as a Hulu original before 20th Century Studios opted to put it out in theaters.

While House Party had a lukewarm commercial reception, proving the theatrical method isn't surefire, The Boogeyman could give 20th Century Studios a huge boost on the back of this early critical praise. If it follows the lead of Evil Dead Rise, which just had a $24.5 million opening weekend, it could even be another hit for the studio.
