Based on the short story by Stephen King, The Boogeyman is the ambitious new short from Irish writer-director Gerald Lough (Deviant, The Scanner) and after a series of successful festival screenings around the world, it is set to be shown in Ireland this week, taking centre stage as the opening film of this year's Waterford Film Festival on November 4th. Starring Simon Fogarty (Shackled) and Michael Parle (The Looking Glass) and featuring make up effects by Julie Ann Ryan (The Tudors, Leap Year), Lough's 'Dollar Baby' is a faithful adaptation of the wonderfully creepy tale, which was first published in Cavalier in 1973 before making it to bookshelves as part of King's 1978 collection, Night Shift.
Take a look at the synopsis and check out the trailer below...
When Andrew Billings (Fogarty) goes to see a psychologist to explain how an evil creature that lives in his closet is responsible for the deaths of his three children he is met with scepticism. But as the story progresses, both Dr. Harper (Parle) and the audience will start to consider the possibility that this “boogeyman” is real after all.
