Host director brings Stephen King’s The Boogeyman to life in terrifying first trailer

The first traཧiler for The Boogeyman is here – ꧑and we already have nightmares.

After the tragic death of their mother, a teenage girl named Sadie (Sophie Thatcher) and her little sister Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair) find themselves fighting off a terrifying, ♓sadistic presence in their home that seems to only come out at night. The pair must get the attention of their emotionally absent, grieving father (Chris Messina) before it's too late.

The film is directed by Rob Savage (Host, Dashcam) from an adapted screenplay penned by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:A Quiet Place writing duo Scott Beck and Bryan Woods and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Swan꧙ scribe Mark Heyman. Stranger Things direcꦬtor Shawn Levy is producing under his 21 Laps Entertainment banner. The cast also includes David Dastmalchian, Marin Ireland, Madison Hu, and LisaGay Hamilton.

Th🐓e Boogeyman, a short story by Stephen King, was first published in 1973 in the magazine Cavalier before being published again in King's short fiction collection The Night Shift. The story's premise differs quite a bit fr𒁃om Savage's adaptation – but we won't spoil you. It was first adapted into a short film in 1982 by Jeff Schiro (Tales from the Darkside), and no other direct adaptation has been attempted since – though the premise (including the short story's twist ending) has been loosely borrowed by dozens of horror movies throughout the years.

The Boogeyman hits theaters June 2, 2023. For more, check out our list of the most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies in 2023 and beyond, or, skip right to the good stuff with our list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:movie release dates.
