I was thrilled to sit down with filmmaker Rob Savage (Host) to uncover his adaptation of The Boogeyman, one of Stephen King’s most terrifying short stories.

In the film, high school student Sadie Harper and her younger sister Sawyer are reeling from their mother’s recent death and aren’t getting much support from their father, Will, a therapist who is dealing with his own pain. When a desperate patient unexpectedly shows up at their home seeking help, he leaves behind a terrifying supernatural entity that preys on families and feeds on the suffering of its victims. 

The Boogeyman is directed by Rob Savage (Dashcam) with a screenplay by Scott Beck & Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place) and Mark Heyman (Black Swan) and a screen story by Scott Beck & Bryan Woods based upon the short story by Stephen King. The film stars Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets) and Chris Messina (Air).
