How scary is The Boogeyman?
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary When it comes to horror films, there is an expectation that it will be rated R. After all, strong language, a good amount of gore, and general violence tend to make up the core of the horror genre’s biggest and most notable films.
There are plenty of reasons why a film like The Boogeyman, adapted from the short story by Stephen King, would be given a PG-13 rating, despite having its fair share of language and violence. The Boogeyman is quite scary, too, but its rating ostensibly makes it more accessible to the general public.
The Boogeyman's PG-13 Rating Explained: Terror, Violence & Language The MPAA gave The Boogeyman a PG-13 rating for terror, violent content, teen drug use and some strong language. As with all horror films, there are scary elements. A big part of The Boogeyman’s eeriness stems from the terrifying nature of the titular creature. The Boogeyman leers, stalks, attacks, mimics, and kills its prey. These aspects are the scariest and are responsible for much of the tension in the film.
To that end, the horror film has quite a few scenes containing violence. Sadie Harper and her family are hunted by the Boogeyman as it preys on their grief, and the film’s gruesome elements come to light when the monster viciously attacks, lunging with its grotesque shape, feeding with its sharp teeth, or a past victim wields a gun to fight it off. The jump scares are enough to lend itself to the rating, as the creature sits and there is a scene where Sadie’s friends use drugs.
Is The Boogeyman Movie Suitable For Children? The Boogeyman may be rated PG-13, but it isn’t suitable for younger kids to watch. The titular creature tends to attack the film’s youngest characters, and children are threatened, facing violence and potential death throughout. Given the ferocity of the horror film’s monster, the level of terror present throughout, and the intensity of certain scenes’ brutality, The Boogeyman isn’t exactly a film made with a younger audience in mind.
