Rob Savage directs The Boogeyman from the producers of Stranger Things, based on a short story of the same name by Stephen King.
The film follows high school student Sadie Harper, played by Sophie Thatcher, and her little sister, Sawyer, played by Vivien Lyra. They’re still emotionally shaken from the death of their mother.
Their father, Will, a therapist played by Chris Messina, is not giving them much support because he has intense emotional pain from her death.
A desperate patient, played by David Dastmalchian, of Will’s unexpectedly shows up at their house, seeking help. He leaves behind a terrifying supernatural entity. The entity preys on families, feeding off the suffering of its victims.
Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer and based on the influential horror novel by talented and prolific author Stephen King, Pet Sematary follows Dr. Louis Creed, played by Jason Clarke. He and his family relocated from Boston to rural Maine. He and wife, played by Amy Seimetz, have two young children.
They discover an enigmatic burial ground hidden deep in the woods near the family’s new home. A tragedy strikes the family, and Louis turns to his unusual neighbor, Jud Crandall, played by John Lithgow. This sets off a perilous chain reaction that unleashes an unfathomable evil with horrific consequences.
Such a great cast draws me to this movie. Jason Clarke other latest movie is Serenity. Kolsch and Widmyer teamed up before directing horror movies. Both come from diverse backgrounds with Widmyer a graduate from Long Island University’s film school.
The second trailer is so scary, but it tells you what happens in the movie. This is a classic by Stephen King, so the studio figures everybody knows the plot. Clarke is so good in this movie, creepy.
The featurette tells us we are in for a true horror movie. I got the jiggers just by watching this featurette.
The interview with both the directors, Kolsch and Widmyer, is full of information about King and his books. They take their knowledge and apply it to the movie. They talk about directing the actors and how they work to develop their characters.
These two guys are funny when they talk about directing cats. Their personalities come out, and they are different, but their rapport is so strong.
“Are you happy mommy?” sends chills up my spine. The movie clip will drive horror and Stephen King fans to the movie theaters.
I totally jumped out of my skin watching the final trailer. This movie is scary and horrific.
Directed by Nikolaj Arcel, I have not read many Stephen King’s books, so I am not familiar with The Dark Tower storyline or whether it follows the book at all.
Though, I am intrigued to see a young boy telling a story to a therapist of some sort. There are some talented people behind the camera and in front of the camera as well. Ron Howard is one of the producers.
The story follows a gunslinger, played by Idris Elba, and we are told there are other worlds than these, which is not that ambitious these days. Other worlds are quite common in the movie industry.
Still, it is an expansive story from one of the world’s most celebrated authors, and now it is headed to the big screen. So, the last Gunslinger, known as Roland Deschain, has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O’Dim, also known as the Man in Black, played by Matthew McConaughey, determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower, which holds the universe together. With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black.
Also in the cast is Jackie Earle Haley, who is fondly known for playing Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise movies.
It really sounds like dark fantasy where kids tell the story late a night during a sleepover. I sure it will do well at the box office because King has a legion of fans.
I am totally freaked out about this trailer. IT is so scary that I keep looking behind me to see if I am truly alone. The house noises are unsettling and this is a true classic horror movie based on Stephen King’s book of the same title.
Let’s face it. Kids do not like clowns. My daughter was terrified of them, so what better story to scare kids and adults. You can’t trust a clown because they are hidden behind all that make up. Take off the clown makeup and what do you have? Just a scary man…but leave it on and I am diving under that table or running for the hills.
