Atmospheric scary fun

Rating: Null/10 (7 January 2001)

This is one of the truly spooky movies. It doesn't rely on gore or FX. Instead, it builds a convincing sense of fright. The musical score adds greatly to the sense of tedious tension which helps make the spookiness unnerving.
The film is the old story of the Boogie Man set in modern middle-America. The Boogie Man can't be killed. He has no reason, no emotion, no conscience. He has the eyes of a devil. The really frightening thing that this film portrays is the scariest place of all -- the human mind.
