Cucuy:The Boogeyman Makes Its Way on SYFY For Some Halloween Fun

Published

on

“When children start disappearing, a rebellious teen under house arrest starts to suspect that a legendary evil, a boogeyman known as the Cucuy, might be responsible.”

 

Hybrid Entertainment has released a new original film called “Cucuy: The Boogeyman”. This new installment of horror from the director of  The Sandman is scheduled to premiere on Syfy on Saturday, October 13th (7p/6p CT).

Our favorite character actor, Mick Ignis (Stan Against Evil, The Sandman) returns to play what Entertainment Weekly dubs the Cucuy as the “Mexican Santa Clause who instead of delivering coal from his sack, kidnaps misbehaving children”.  It is a different take on the legend of a story parents use to scare children to scare them into obedience.

The film is directed by Peter Sullivan (Stan Lee’s “The Sandman,”) who shot this film in an abandoned neighborhood near a former state hospital in Pomona.  Such a location is a perfect setting for a horror film and it also supports local filming.

The story is set in fictional town Glimmer Peak, where there are reported mysterious child kidnappings without a trace.  The local sheriff, played by Brian Krause (Charmed) has no leads on these mysterious disappearances. Rebecca, played by Marisol Nichols (Riverdale) is cautiously watching her daughters, Sofia and Amelia, confined to house arrest.

With nowhere to go and virtually nothing to do Sofia begins a daily ritual of spying on her neighbors to pass the time. As luck would have it observing the surroundings brings up curious incidences that eventually put Sofia and her family in danger with the mysterious supernatural thief in the night played by Mick Ignis   It will take all of her cunning to prevent the Cucuy from invading their home and inflicting harm.

The story is pretty standard but the performances of Mick as the terrifying mythical creature really stand out.  Also, the stunning performance between Sofia (Jearnest Corchado) and her hearing-impaired little sister Amelia (Bella Stine), capture the emotional and heartfelt moments.It will leave you thinking twice before committing your next bad decision.

Check it out on SyFy October 13 at 7 pm. Check your local listings.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland.

He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.
