The film presents a variant of the Boogeyman according to Mexican folklore and that is the closest to the classic version of this character. It's a moderate budget movie that doesn't offer much, but it's pretty decent. The attempt to bring a representation of the classic legend that, despite being based on Mexican folklore, is quite similar to other classic versions of the legend, is appreciated. The design of the creature is quite good and is quite close to the possible physical appearance that the Boogeyman could have, since in most times it has been described as a large creature with a robe and a monstrous appearance and carrying a sack in some versions. Where he takes the children he kidnaps. Of course, the appearance of the Boogeyman varies according to folklore and region, but the Cucuy is quite close to the classic version. As for the rest of the movie, it's pretty simple without much to say. It's probably not the horror movie some would expect because it's a movie geared towards a younger audience, but at least it manages to tell the terrifying story of this Boogeyman in the most traditional way possible. My rating for this movie is 7/10.
