Cucuy: The Boogeyman

You just have to watch this movie. OMG the effects, the story, the dialog are all incredible. One of the best movies that I totally didn't turn off after 18 minutes. Who the hell cares less about anyone or anything in this film. When will they learn the rules of horror movies. T&A + Blood, learn it.

While "Cucuy: The Boogeyman" definitely was reminiscent of the glorious 1990s hay days of horror, then the movie was also suffering from being generic and non-distinct. The movie was enjoyable enough for what it was, don't get me wrong. And I did sit through the entire movie, being mildly entertained. But the movie just never got up into a scary mode, or kicked into a high paced gear, nor did it offer anything overly exciting to the horror genre that haven't already been done countless times before in other horror movies. The concept was enjoyable, for sure. But it just felt like, 'come on, I've seen something very similar to this is other movies from some decades ago'. So on that account, the movie was suffering from being unoriginal. But hey, if you haven't, by some miraculous manner, never seen a 1990s horror movie, then chances are you will find great enjoyment in "Cucuy: The Boogeyman". As for the creature, the Cucuy, presented in this 2018 movie. Nah. Just nah. For a seasoned horror veteran as myself, then a man wearing a latex mask with lacking proper facial movements, and glowing red eyes, just didn't cut it. For a younger audience perhaps, but not for seasoned veterans of the horror genre. The acting in "Cucuy: The Boogeyman" was actually good, especially taking into consideration the generic storyline and script that they had to work with. But the actors and actresses definitely helped make the movie enjoyable. The movie was lacking scary moments and the atmosphere, while they did indeed try, just didn't really prove to have that much of an impact. The storyline was generic, albeit straightforward. Don't get your hopes up for anything grand or innovative here. No, instead you get a very mundane horror movie that follows a very used formula of how to make a creature feature. Predictable and lacking surprises and scares. All in all, then this was a very generic horror movie. One that is adequate enough for a single viewing, but then it will be bagged, tagged, stored and forgotten.

Really it's a bad movie nothing new A monster and a girl that killed the monster at the end Weak story Weak characters You have no reason to watch this movie that's my advice

I eye-rolled so much during this movie that I almost got dizzy. Generic story with horrible writing and dialog. My favorite characters were easily the monster, the bully kid and the strange guy, all of which did not get enough screen time. The main character was generic and very unlikable. The only good thing about her, is she was good eye-candy. In the end, I was rooting for the monster, but the movie proved true to the end that it was a bad movie with that horrible, unrealistic story book ending. There could have been potential here, especially with the effects on the monster, but they really went the wrong direction. Seriously, generic movie with barely anything to offer for actual entertainment. Don't be fooled by the fake reviews. Either they have something to do with the making of this movie, or they have not seen many movies.

This is a very scary movie. It one of scariest movie I have seen. It has a great story line. It also has great special effects. It also has great acting. If you were scared by The silences of the lams or The Shinning this will scary you out of you mind.

I don't have much to say about this 'horror' movie, because there's really not much about it to say. Production value is good, acting is passable. This is a highly derivative, by the book, cookie cutter 'made for tv' job... If you're looking for horror, you won't find it here. This is basically a kids movie, reminds me of goosebumps or scooby doo. Unoriginal, predictable, weak plot, not scary (at all) and just plain boring for the most part. This is the movie equivalent of cheap and nasty, production line fast food. Don't waste your time....

I caught this one during Syfy channels 31 days of Halloween. This one was a spooky little film that fit perfectly with the Halloween season. Definitely a different take on the whole boogeyman myth, which was refreshingly nice.

* Very disappointed * stupid dialogue * cops are ego and stupid. * The victim's stupid mother after seeing the boogeyman with her own eyes, still says "it's real !!" and then look on her face was as if she couldn't believe what was happening in front of his eyes. * very bad. * waste time * So wasting your time seeing this kind of movies with stupid action during facing the freaking moment. * Stupid joke movie.
