The Boogey Man

In a quiet, isolated farmhouse the past clings to every reflective surface, its weight made tangible by a towering mirror that once bore witness to a night of unspeakable terror. The house itself feels like a breathing archive, its creaking boards and dim corridors echoing with a dread that never quite fades. Shadows linger not just in corners but in the minds of those who have lived within its walls, turning ordinary rooms into stages for an ever‑present, unseen menace.

Willy, the older sibling, has been rendered mute by that fateful evening, his silence a living reminder of the violence that shattered their family. His sister, Lacey, carries a quieter resolve, striving to stitch together a semblance of normalcy with a marriage to Jake and the care of their young son Kevin. Their relationship is a delicate dance between protection and the fear that any ripple in their fragile peace might awaken old wounds. The bond between the siblings is both a source of comfort and a conduit for the lingering unease that the house seems to amplify.

The mirror, central to the family’s history, is more than a glass pane; it is a conduit for a curse that whispers that broken shards can reach far beyond the house’s walls. The mere thought of reflection becomes a source of anxiety, and the family’s attempts to move forward are constantly shadowed by the lingering possibility that the past could shatter again at any moment.

Against this backdrop of muted grief and restrained dread, the story unfolds as a slow‑burning psychological horror. It dwells on atmosphere rather than action, inviting the audience to feel the weight of inherited trauma, the claustrophobia of a home that both shelters and haunts, and the fragile hope that confronting a mirror’s dark legacy might finally allow the characters to step out of its reflection.
