Just in time for us to start the transition from summer to Spooky Season, 20th Century Studios has announced UK digital release plans for Rob Savage’s brilliant adaption of Stephen King classic The Boogeyman.
The studio has confirmed details on the bonus features that will come packaged with the film when it hits digital platforms across the UK on August 29, 2023.
In case you missed it at the cinema, check out the film’s official trailer in the player below:
In our three-star review of the film, Neil said “Though The Boogeyman may not be terrifying, it will certainly go down in history as one of the better King adaptions. Thanks to committed performances from all three leads the film lands with heart and scares in equal measure. Once again, director Rob Savage has proven he is more than capable to be one of the biggest names in horror.”
