This Looks Soooo Bad.
I Couldn't Take The Trailer Serious At All. I Mean Really Hollywood.
shareI thought trailer looks amazing. Can't wait to see this!!
shareSure you did, Hollywood targets imbeciles like yourself who like crappy nonsense.

Oh just realised it's PG13 now. Maybe I was wrong...
shareGood horror can be pg-13
shareBack in the 80s PG-13 horror could be good, well, either that or if it was being directed (not produced or executive produced) by James Wan. Nowadays, you have PG-13 horror pandering to tweens who wanna feel like they are "big enough" to see something scary, but get nothing more than the cheap "horror lite" bullcrap that was heavily crapped out during the majority of the 00s. This looks no different than the first Ouija movie.
shareIt really does looks terrible, but not surprising in the least.
shareIt looks stupid as hell. It looks like a leftover from the 00s, one of the worst decades for horror that mainstreamed a style of horror that catered to the MTV/CW generation with its shallow, pretty characters and lack of bite. For the most part, this type of horror has been disappearing, but I'm convinced there are a few people out there fighting tooth and nail to keep it alive, as if it held some sorta true significance to the genre as a whole. IMO, it was just a stumbling block until horror regained its footing, which now, being an old school horror fan that cut his teeth on horror from the 70s and 80s, I'm loving the 2010s horror movies more than I did 90s and 00s horror.
The Bye Bye Man looks to be a movie banking on the creepypasta fad, which don't get me wrong, I like some of the stories and they have potential, but this one just seems lazy. Like it is trying to cater to those Hot Topic teens that think Jeff the Killer is bae, or the tweens that wanna be Slenderman's proxies. I know this is based on a short story, but still feels that way nonetheless.
As I said before, it looks like the same kind of BS quality as the first Ouija movie, which was terribad.
"leftover from the 00s"
What are the 00s?
The decade of 2000 - 2009?

Got it! Laughing out loud. So just like somebody might say that they grew up in the "ninety's", in the near future people will say that they grew up in the "zero's"? why doesn't it sound right?
shareI couldn't take it seriously either because it looked so stupid. The name of the "boogey man" should give that away.
shareIt has to be the worst title of a movie EVER!
Get away from her, you BITCH!!!
Worst title ever
shareLooks absolutely horrible, but it'll be fun. At-least it's ya boy Doug Jones as the Bye Bye Man, he's always cool.
