Supernatural horror produced by Sam Raimi. Tim (Barry Watson) is a young man haunted by the memories of a horrific incident in his childhood home, in which his father was killed. Convinced that Tim's memories of the mythic 'Boogeyman' are part of an elaborate psychological phobia, his psychiatrist sends him back to the house to confront his fears, reasoning that a night spent in his childhood bedroom will cure him. But when Tim realises that his memories were right all along, he finds himself trapped inside the house with the vicious supernatural killer and decides that he must fight his fears in a more literal manner than his psychiatrist intended.
