Rob Savage In 2020, he is directing one of the most surprising horror movies of recent years. He’s making a movie on a small budget. session made by video call. “Host” (2020) is pure creativity, pure horror, pure suspense. And it’s full of visual and auditory ideas and unforgettable horrors. Although he had been doing something for a long time, it was the film that put his name on the map and caught the attention of a studio (20th Century Studios) and commissioned him. adaptation of a story Stephen King. Conclusion ‘Bogey’, It’s a moderately effective film, but undoubtedly disappointing.
That’s good news new version of bogey legend It confirms what we already know: Savage knows how to strike terror, either with less economic resources or with more comfortable budgets. He has a sense of fear, a pulse, and good taste. The bad news is that here this skill isn’t enough to elevate a movie with core issues. In “The Boogeyman” and it seems more like a script issue than an implementation, it lacks originality and lacks the desire to more enthusiastically tackle basic things like the way it represents the dark, the design of the shocks (not even a memorable one). a) or monster installation. And above all, the movie suffers from the conflict between the playful nature of the story and the effort to shoehorn the trauma of the leading family. In this case, the metaphor (related to mourning) is more of a nuisance than an element of uneasiness.
