The Boogeyman

Convinced there's more to her bedroom's shadows than meets the eye, vulnerable Sawyer turns to big sister Sadie for solace. After all, with their emotionally unavailable therapist father fighting a losing battle with grief and trauma, the girls only have each other to cope with their mother's unfair death. But denial doesn't help. As a result, Sawyer's unreasonable fear of the dark becomes increasingly agonising, triggered by an unwanted visitor's inner demons. They say evil comes in many forms. And now, something seems to have latched onto the recently bereaved family, aching to feed off their profound pain. Could Sawyer be onto something? Is the monster in the closet real?—Nick Riganas
