Boogeyman 2 «QUICK - 2026»

The narrative follows Laura Porter, a young woman deeply traumatized by witnessing the brutal murder of her parents by a dark entity when she was a child. To combat her paralyzing fear of the dark and the mythical Boogeyman, Laura voluntarily checks herself into a psychiatric hospital.
