There is just no substance to Boogeyman, and this includes the title character. There is a bit about child abductions, but the director abandons this in favor of a one-on-one confrontation between the main guy and the Boogeyman. Tim(?) decides spending the night, alone, in his parents' old dilapidated house is a good idea, and when night falls, all the creaking sounds and dark corners scare the crap out of him. He refrains from telling people that he believes it's the Boogeyman, mainly because everybody will think he's insane. The only one who listens is Franny. The Boogeyman has some sort of grudge against Jensen, and decides to make his life a living hell. The movie never explains why the Boogeyman is coming back to get Jensen, why he chose Jensen, or much of anything else. The ending is pretty lame, and most of the acting is pedestrian. Aside from the overuse of CGI, there are some interesting stylistic touches that the director uses, but otherwise this is the generic horror movie.
