The Boogie Man Will Get You

In the shadow of a crumbling 18th‑century tavern, Winnie Slade arrives fresh from a painful divorce with a bold vision: transform the time‑worn building into a boutique hotel that promises both charm and profit. The property, with its ivy‑clad façade and creaking timbers, exudes a history that feels almost alive, setting the stage for a venture that is as much about rebuilding a life as it is about salvaging an old stone structure.

The inn’s existing crew refuses to be swept aside by new ambitions. Nathaniel Billings, a stoic professor with a penchant for secret experiments, clings to his subterranean laboratory, while the house’s long‑standing staff—Amelia Jones and the enigmatic Ebenezer—carry the peculiar habits of long‑term residents who have grown comfortable in the building’s eccentric rhythm. Their quirks and off‑beat banter inject a lively, almost absurd energy into the daily grind, turning routine repairs into theatrical exchanges.

Beneath the polished veneer of polished floorboards, the cellar holds a mystery that whispers through the walls. Hints of something concealed linger in the air, suggesting that the house’s past is far darker than its picturesque exterior lets on. This concealed secret, coupled with the building’s storied reputation, creates an unsettling undercurrent that threatens to upend Winnie’s carefully laid plans.

The film balances a gothic atmosphere with sharp, dark humor, allowing the characters to navigate the tension between aspiration and the unknown. As Winnie strives to reshape the inn’s future, the lingering presence of the house’s hidden history looms, promising a clash between ambition, eccentricity, and the shadows that refuse to stay buried.
