Don’t say it.  Don’t think it.  Don’t say it! Don’t think it!  That will be running through your head by bedtime tonight and you probably won’t get much sleep.  The Bye Bye Man is one of your better horror movies of 2017 that is campy yet fresh.  Adapted from The President’s Vampire by Robert Damon Schneck we are immediately introduced to the movie by a compelling mass murder scene from 1969 where a man keeps repeating “Don’t say it.  Don’t think it.” and immediately you’re hooked!

Directed by Stacy Title and written by Jonathan Penner.  The film The film stars Douglas Smith, Lucien Laviscount, Cressida Bonas, Doug Jones, Carrie-Anne Moss, Faye Dunaway and Jenna Kanell.

The film does make many many mistakes.  Over exposure, bad acting, and needless character development for no apparent reason.   The endless cliches are a bit much also. But it’s a horror movie!
