I keep seeing bad reviews, and in my opinion you shouldn’t listen to them. This movie is a masterpiece, from the lore behind it to the lesson it teaches you about losing people that are close to you. It is a bone chilling movie that heavily relies on a fear of the dark, which most people have had sometime in their life or still have to this day, which works perfectly. The acting is amazing, the design of the “boogeyman” is downright beautiful and terrifying at the same time. There were no cheap scares in this movie, every single one was built up perfectly or hit right when you weren’t prepared for it. If you are looking for a horror movie to watch, this is the one.
