20th Century Studios just dropped a new, creepy, trailer for its upcoming PG-13 horror-thriller “The Boogeyman.” The premise is based on a 1978 short story of the same name by horror legend Stephen King.
“The Boogeyman” stars Sophie Thatcher (“Yellowjackets”), Chris Messina (“Air”), Vivien Lyra Blair (“Obi-Wan Kenobi”), Marin Ireland (“The Umbrella Academy”), Madison Hu (“Bizaardvark”), LisaGay Hamilton (“Vice”), and David Dastmalchian (“Boston Strangler”).
The film centers around high school student Sadie Harper and her younger sister Sawyer. The girls are reeling from the recent death of their mother and aren’t getting much support from their father, Will. While their father is a therapist, he is too wrapped up in dealing with his own pain over the loss. When a desperate patient of Will’s shows up at their home seeking help, he leaves behind a terrifying supernatural entity. One that preys on families and feeds on the suffering of its victims.
Rob Savage (“Host”) directs from a script co-written by Scott Beck, Bryan Woods, and Mark Heyman (“Black Swan”). The screenplay was adapted from a screen story by Beck and Woods (“A Quite Place”), based on “The Boogeyman” short story by Stephen King.
Beck, Woods, Shawn Levy (“Stranger Things”), Dan Levine (“Arrival”), and Dan Cohen (“The Adam Project”) are set to produce “The Boogeyman.” Along with John H. Starke (“Sicario”), Emily Morris (“Rosaline”), Ryan Cunningham (“Slender Man”), Adam Kolbrenner (“The Tomorrow War”), and Robyn Meisinger (“Prisoners”) as executive producers.
“The Boogeyman” hits theaters on June 2nd, 2023. Check out the new trailer below:
