Reviews:
“Granted, the punchline of this movie is very easy to guess, especially if one’s into horror anthologies, but everything that leads to it is pretty cool genre entertainment: For one, all the stories told are well built up and well told…” Search My Trash
“While the middle segment feels like it drags, the other four stories are all varying degrees of entertaining, if nothing special. Anthology and microbudget fans should get the most enjoyment from Beware the Boogeyman. Others will find their response corresponding to their tolerance for this kind of indie film.” ★★★ Voices from the Balcony
