Cucuy: The Boogeyman

Cucuy: The Boogeyman is a 2018 horror film. The IMDb site describes it: "When children start disappearing, a rebellious teen under house arrest starts to suspect that a legendary evil, a boogeyman known as the Cucuy, might be responsible." I find child endangerment scary in a movie. Frightened children under threat, now that's horrifying. On the other hand, when kids take such careless risks my sympathy for them is tinged with my mom-sense saying, "Don't do that! Don't go there! What are you thinking?!" All said, this is very run-of-the-mill, and I'd suggest looking for something better unless you've already seen all the better ones. Why haven't you already seen all the better ones?!

    1. This ain't the boogeyman from my childhood lol This one is different from what I ever knew referred to as the boogeymen. Like dragons, I guess, in that the difference from one culture to another are drastic.

  2. Unless movies are really bad, I still enjoy watching them once. But I agree with you: when I'm watching and people/kids do things they shouldn't, I'm thinking, "Don't go there! Turn on a light!" etc.

    1. I agree. I'll watch almost anything once, though I do sometimes give up and move on.

  3. I am so far behind now, this doesn't sound like, based on your non-recommendation, something I would ever waste my time on.
