Started out intriguing ended with a ridiculous thud . The acting was absolutely horrible especially the main characters girlfriend no actor in this movie stood out not even Faye Dunaway in her small role. The suspense was lame and only one part involving a train was remotely suspenseful. Everything else was cliché the darkness,the thing appearing in the corner of the room,horrible cgi,etc... This movie was a true travesty and the ending ? Well suffice it to say...don't expect one because THERE ISN'T ONE IN THIS MOVIE. Don't expect a sequel either this one did horribly in theaters . The movie is a complete disaster it's confusing as hell,not very interesting,the villain is laughable,and the plot is nonexistent. Even the ending is predictable and other movies have done it much better then this one did.

I found this movie a chore to watch. It was just so boring and drawn out. Nothing really made sense, even beyond the lore of the monster. Like why did they take a 4 year old to a college house party. Why does the man character constantly say the name that he shouldn't be saying. It felt slapdash. The acting is pretty awful and one of the actors is clearly English doing a horrible American accent. It makes the film slightly entertaining as it enters into like disaster territory but I was just so bored that I struggled to actually focus enough to pick up on things. Also this movie is not scary in the slightest. It has terrible CGI and it's just bad. Don't waste your time with it.

I don't understand why so many hate this movie! It's certainly better than any of the Paranormal franchise. I usually go for the slow burn, atmospheric movies, but I found this scary and entertaining. It's simple to follow, and there are plenty of scares. It's not too complicated so it doesn't get tangled up in itself. If you like movies like "Candyman" or "Boogey Man," you will probably like this. The only way to know is to watch and decide for yourself.

So, i've been waiting for a film adaptation of the Peepeepoopoo man for a very long time, and thankfully it was worth the wait. Ive seen the Peepeepoopoo man probably around 26 times, and i just cant get enough of the Peepeepoopoo man. Don't say it don't think it is the main way to keep the Peepeepoopoo man away, and if you do say or think the Peepeepoopoo man, you will be in for a rough ride, like the black lady who was all like "Peepeepoopoo man" in the library, she was tricked by the Peepeepoopoo man to kill her family, and then she gets run over by the main protagonist because she runs out onto the road. So yeah, the Peepeepoopoo man is a revolutionary film that even plays with the mind of the audience, makes them think that the Peepeepoopoo man could be in their head.

The Bye Bye Man is a master class in ineptitude. Poor writing leaves us with under-developed characters whom it's impossible to care about, which waters down the already contrived and predictable "scares". With the exception of one particular scene involving Carre-Anne Moss and an interrogation room, the acting is pretty awful, actually causing me to laugh out loud on several occasions. And let's not forget about how bland and unoriginal this thing is, either. The Bye Bye Man himself is a guy in a hood and....that's it. Sometimes he'll point at one of the annoying characters. I'm almost insulted at the fact that director Stacy Title thinks that this will scare audience members. I suppose it's not all bad, though. The film is at its best during the third act, when it goes into full-on thriller mode, and actually kind of works...until the credits roll and you realize how many lapses in logic and the sheer amount of plot holes that exist in this film. I could probably go on a lot more about how terrible this was, but I think you get the point. All I can say is, Don't see this film. Not even die-hard horror fans like myself will find anything to enjoy here. 2/10

I don't understand the bad reviews this movie has received by those claiming to be horror fans,I think some people just expect way too much from a 90 minute period of time. I started watching horror movies in the very early 1970's,when they were truly bad,so you can imagine how many I've seen in the last 40+ years. The Bye Bye man is one of the better ones I've seen.More of a thriller than a horror,I found the acting solid and felt their was a great chemistry between the three main characters,Cressida Bonas did particularly well in her debut movie and I really enjoyed her performance. The plot was a tad loose but not too bad,tending to concentrate on the three main characters story line rather than boring the watcher with a long drawn out back story,the movie got to the point early and stayed there,which I personally loved about it. The few FX that were needed were well done and the makeup was excellent. All up I'd recommend this movie to any thriller/horror fan and ignore the haters who have forgotten how to enjoy a movie for what it is and have become armchair critics.

First of all, anyone reading this review should know I'm EXTREMELY forgiving with horror films. If you have half-decent character development, a semi-plausible plot line, average actors or better, good FX and AT LEAST one or two "gotcha" moments, or some combination thereof, I'll give it a good recommendation. Sadly, The Bye Bye Man has none of it. Let's start with back story - there is NONE! (apart from some journalist encountering BBM 30 years before the story takes place). We do not know who BBM is, where he came from, how he came into existence, or why he terrorizes people. This is the biggest flaw that sinks the movie. Perhaps the filmmakers thought if they tell you NOTHING about the boogieman, it will make him more scary. It doesn't - it's disingenuous, at best. Half of the actors give wooden performances, and the other half overact grandiosely. I was particularly distressed to see Carrie Ann Moss and - GASP! - Academy Award winner Faye Dunaway, as they are so much better than this material. I got the impression the producers wanted big names to attract an audience (and maybe Ms. Dunaway really, really needs the money). It was difficult to care for any of these characters. The plot is ludicrous and revolves around the single notion "don't think it, don't say it" which, if you analyze it, is antithetical to how people behave. You've got a supernatural boogieman after you, intending to kill you, and you're not going to think about him?!?! C'mon... I did not have one single, solitary moment when I felt tense or ill at ease. There were NO "gotcha" moments for me throughout the entire picture, which I found all too predictable. For example, the filmmakers conspicuously place a robe in the bedroom of the two central characters and make it the main focus of the camera angles in several scenes, so that when it comes alive as the BBM, it's simply a yawning moment. In fact, the few times BBM was presented, I was appalled at the lack of creativity in trying to make him anything close to menacing. Makeup and costumes were extremely lacking, as if the filmmakers chose to chop those expenses to meet budget. The only injustice I can think of would be to make a sequel of this mess.

I just came home from seeing The Bye Bye Man and I must say I was definitely impressed. I was impressed by the directing, the sound and the acting in this movie. I really loved the story too! This movie had you and gripped you from start to finish. It made you want to know who and why the Bye Bye Man was and it played tricks on the audiences minds which was a thrill ride. This movie is definitely worth seeing and is far from boring and it is pretty original and I really loved the opening with the Man going crazy and going after everyone with a gun. Faye Dunaway and Carrie Ann Moss both did great jobs in their roles too! And the young actors in the film were all amazing. Just go see this movie everyone it's really good!
