What it's about: 'The Boogeyman' follows teenage Sadie Harper (Sophie Thatcher) and her younger sister Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair) as they struggle with their mother’s death and their father’s emotional absence. Their lives take a terrifying turn when a troubled patient visits their home and leaves behind a supernatural entity that begins preying on the family, feeding on their suffering and fear.

There are some effective jump scares and plenty of genuinely unsettling moments throughout, making this a solid choice if you’re after a straightforward supernatural horror movie.

'Harlan Coben’s Final Twist' (Season 2 Premiere) (Paramount+)

The season explores shocking crimes, hidden motives and unexpected developments, using interviews, archival footage and Coben’s narration to uncover the truth behind cases that took surprising turns.

'Between Steps' (Series Premiere) (Hulu / Disney+)
