ââThe Boogeymanâ is a classic horror movie in the mold of âPoltergeistâ that has scares and heart in equal measure,â says director Rob Savage. âI vividly remember the terror I felt reading Kingâs short story as a kid, and itâs this feeling of childhood fear that I wanted to inspire in cinema audiences around the world. This film was made in collaboration with an incredibly talented team of creatives, and is anchored by wonderful, soulful performances from our incredible cast – I’m in awe of them, truly. Weâre incredibly proud of this movie and canât wait to give you all a reason to fear the dark again on June 2nd.â
