Traumatic Events of the Past Revisited; Sometimes in Mind, Sometimes in Reality - The Boogeyman
Having a tragic past is enough reason to have psychological problems, but is it enough reason to create an otherworldly creature? Honestly, I don't know and I can't go beyond guessing, but I have a great movie recommendation for those who love the psychological thriller genre.
Made in 2023, The Boogeyman is a horror-thriller about a man with a tragic past and psychological problems who seeks psychiatric help.
Dr. Will Harper (played by Chris Messina) is struggling with his own family problems. One day he is visited by a non-patient and asked for help. The fact that he does not refuse help ignites a new story.
The creature, which was initially thought to exist only in the mind, feeding on people's weaknesses, has similar characteristics to the stories in a few horror movies I have seen before, but I must say that it differs from other stories in the way it presents fear and tension.
Throughout the movie, where the performances of the actors are top-notch, the characters' efforts to confront their pasts and their efforts to recover from the traumatic consequences of the traumatic consequences ensure that horror and suspense go hand in hand. Of course, during this journey, you find yourself in the story and feel both fear and tension.
I think that in horror movies, feeling the fear rather than being afraid of anything shown makes the movie more successful. When you are under the influence of something real or unreal, you somehow feel the fear and you are affected even if you don't see it.
The movie The Boogeyman, which is essentially a story between a father and his two daughters, manages to accelerate your heart rate and breathing as it draws you in while you watch it, about what happens inside a claustrophobic house.
I recommend you to watch The Boogeyman with its successful narration of the fact that the traces of the past will come up at any moment unless the traumatic effect is overcome, and that it will disturb us in some way due to its presence in our minds.
Those who will enjoy the fiction that starts in the psychological thriller genre step by step turning into reality and making you feel the fear should watch the movie at night and alone, it will offer extra viewing pleasure.
I wish you a good watch in advance!
