Sophie Thatcher and Vivien Lyra Blair are both great as siblings haunted by The Boogeyman in this adaptation of a Stephen King short story.
Given the short source material, there are changes and a fleshing-out of the storyline but it works well. Sure, we've seen these stories before - plenty of them - so it's hard to be original. But there's enough here to stand up well for fans of the Insidious and Conjuring universes.
Direction and editing are very good. CGI for the most part is done very well and the Boogeyman is scary once revealed.
Despite a few cheesy moments, the movie moves at a good pace with enough jump scares and frightening moments to keep you on the edge of your seat.
