Rob Savage directed the scariest horror movie in years with lockdown smash Host, and now he’s making his studio debut with an adaptation of Stephen King’s The Boogeyman. Based on the horror writer’s short story of the same name, the movie follows two sisters dealing with grief and a monster lurking in the shadows.
The movie will soon arrive on the big screen, but the initial plan was for it to head straight to Hulu. According to Savage, this all changed when they screened a first cut to 350 punters in Orange County. He tells Total Film in our newest issue, featuring Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny on the cover, that the response was so great that the studio execs knew they’d be crazy not to unleash this beast into cinemas.
