Prime Video adds a must-watch Halloween movie
I can’t believe it’s already October, but that just means it’s time to dive into all things Halloween! And for me, Halloween means one thing: watching scary movies. With the best streaming services adding some spine-tingling titles to their lineups, there’s no shortage of options to choose from. Although there are so many great picks out there, I couldn’t help but notice that Prime Video just dropped “The Boogeyman” into its collection. This underrated horror film is based on a short story by Stephen King and directed by Rob Savage. Despite not getting a lot of buzz when it was released in June 2023, overshadowed by big blockbusters like “Indiana Jones” and “Transformers,” “The Boogeyman” is the perfect addition to your Halloween watchlist.
Now available for streaming on Prime Video, “The Boogeyman” is a chilling movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It offers a compact, creepy experience with stunning visuals and just the right amount of scares to make you think twice before turning off the lights.
If you’re a horror fan like me, Halloween is the best time of year. I love recommending scary movies to anyone looking for a good fright, especially now that streaming platforms are beefing up their selections for the spooky season.
So, what’s “The Boogeyman” all about? The film follows the Harper family, focusing on sisters Sadie and Sawyer as they try to cope with the recent loss of their mother. Their father, Will, who is a therapist, is also struggling with his own grief and remains emotionally distant. When a disturbed man named Lester Billings shows up at their home claiming that a sinister entity caused the death of his children, eerie events begin to unfold in the Harper household. The story takes a dark turn as young Sawyer encounters a malevolent presence lurking in the shadows.
“The Boogeyman” is not your typical horror film. It dives deep into themes of grief and trauma within a close-knit family, making it more of a spooky family drama than just a scary movie. This unique twist on the horror genre gives the film an extra layer of depth and emotion that sets it apart from other films in the genre. Give it a watch this Halloween season and prepare to be spooked!
